    Hey there, I had a question for pretty much anyone this applies to. I’m going through a low in college right now, and was wondering what helped keep you disciplined through if it if you have had one. My degree was clinical exercise science, but last semester I just disappeared essentially. I can get back on track, but feel like I need something to keep me accountable or even spark my discipline. Any answers are much appreciated

    That’s a very broad question since I don’t have any back story. So a few things. Assuming you have a few years left which feels like a long time : 1.break everything down into shorter goals. Weekly. Monthly. Semester etc. create a habit just like anything else. 2.What sparked you to take this up to begin with? How can you re-ignite it. 3. Choose a social circle that supports you. A team to get you all through it. 4. My key was balancing the major with a minor that was simply for enjoyment. I majored in computer science but rather than minoring in business like everyone else I minored in music. It kept me sane and looking forward to every day. I hope that helped. (Find what killed the spark and acknowledge it and control it. Maybe that will need some outside help.). Good luck!!!

    Thank you Joe, I think I’ve been slacking too much on the social aspect and have been talking to my gym about possibly getting a job there so hopefully it helps set me straight.
