How do you keep yourself motivated?

I know at school towards the end of the year many students begin to slack off. How can you keep yourself motivated during this time? Sometimes work can also be repetitive so how do you keep yourself motivated at work as well? #school #work #motivation #focus

What is it like to be in a professional sorority?

I am thinking about joining the professional business sorority at my college next year. I don't really know much about it. Has any one had experience with professional sororities. I have heard a lot about social sororities. What is the difference between these two? #college #professional #sorority
