Students Take on Semester Suggest Lack of Motivation

It seems like everyone that I spoke to about school says the same thing: "I am not feeling it this semester". I wonder why? Apparently, some of the underlying reasons for lack of motivation is the growing economic crisis. Students don't have anything to work for, or because the Summer was so rough, with gas reaching $4 per gallon, I imagine that when school started, working students were burnt out. This is certainly the case for myself.

Some students have struggled to find their way the entire semester, yet despite his or her efforts, getting into the swing of school is just way too hard. Most of the professors look stressed, too. Some may be inadvertently making the classes overwhelming because of some of their economic issues. It's just bad for everyone right now, it seems.

What do you think?
