Ask Merle

Dear Merle,

It’s February, and I have four months left until graduation. I have no motivation to get out of bed and come to school, let alone go to class when I manage to enter the building. I don’t want to be held back from activities but I don’t know how to gain motivation to work harder? Since you’re a senior, too, can you give me some advice?

From, A Lazy Senior

Dear Lazy Senior,

You would think I sent this to myself— that’s how similar we’re all feeling at this point! No matter what advice I give you, I’m going to sound like a hypocrite. Honestly, just think about how little time we have left all together. Even if you’re sitting in class bored out of your mind, at least you’re with your friends. You have your whole life to stay home!

See you in class, Merle
