Study Skills and Endurance

Reflecting on this last academic year, I'm not satisfied. After recognizing my problem, and feeling like such reflection is prudent seeing as it was my freshman year and there is time for redemption, I feel like my study skills are partly to blame and especially my endurance. I did not completely bomb this year; however, I didn't reach my own expectations. How does one keep up their motivation/endurance after week 7/8/9? I find it very hard to do so, and I'm not sure if that's due to my study habits or just the subject sequences I'm currently going through.

Any, even if slightly, relative feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Sounds like you are possibly experiencing burnout halfway through the semester. This may sound paradoxical, especially since you are attempting to improve your grades, but I would say focus on your social life just as much as academics.

I subscribe to the "work hard, play hard" notion. I studied my ass off five days a week, and went out with friends on the weekends. Having a better balance helped me raise my freshman year GPA from 3.17 to 3.75 when I graduated.

Live for the weekend, my friend, live for the weekend.
