It's not good if you're already needing external inspiration and aren't in medical school yet.
Stay on your grind. Good luck.

It is a very stressful process..I did five years as well b/c of family issues. I am doing post bac courses now to improve my GPA as well. I have doubted my choice at times but reminded myself that I always wanted this and keep going. The past few years have just been an uphill battle but I know it will be worth it.
If you feel that you can't handle anymore school then you should probably reconsider..

Take a semester off and get a job at a dead-end, entry-level job. That should recharge the energy in your academic batteries.
You must have a reason to be putting yourself through all of this... I felt the same way my senior year of undergrad. I was extremely depressed and felt like giving up. I worked hard and somehow got into a med school. I put myself through all of this because I really wanted to be a doctor and help people... always remember why you're putting yourself through this. and i'm telling you that it will pay off in the end as it did for me.
Keep grinding it out and remember your passion. By the way, I'm sure Aaron Rodgers heard comments like NickTaylor's when he was working his way through community college. He turned out alright!
(PS: I am a bears fan and hate the packers, but you have to respect Aaron Rodgers)

This is where its at folks. I did this and I was extremely motivated to get back to school. Theres nothing like manual labor in freezing temperatures to get your butt in gear!
No joke - a crappy retail job will make you extremely appreciative of being able to pursue education full-time.
I recommend Chuck E. Cheese's. $6 dollars an hour to clean up vomit in tubes and take uppercuts to the balls while wearing a sweaty costume... not quite PS-worthy, but needless to say it did inspire me.
Omg. I'm rofling.... BHaus... that SUCKS.
