I can relate. Most people on here are juggling family and work as well. Self improvement can be draining...lol. But in all seriousness I would say almost everyone on here has felt that burn out or questioned why they are doing this feeling. Just focus on the goal and take it slow would be my advice. Just think about how crappy it would be to stop and never finish. Hang in there.

I definitely got this last April. I decided to take a couple of months off studying. Unfortunately that break has now lasted 8 months. I've just signed up to start again in earnest in January. Be careful when you take a break not to let it slip completely like I just did!

I decided to take a break once I graduated from High School, that was in 2003... So I had a 13 year break and I regret it kind of. If I knew about these types of credit before this year I'd be done. Good Luck to you all I know it can be tough I earned 70credits since May of this year and I feel a bit overwhelmed, once I get done with Spring Semester I should be done. Going to be a tough 4 or so months but then I will be done for a little while, while I decide if I want to pursue the Masters degree or not.

I ended up taking a 5 day break, took 2 days off of work, and did a whole lot of nothing and lots of "self care!" I knew taking a break would mean I'd have to cram for my last few tests but it was totally worth it! Even just 5 days of chilling out really helped me get my mojo back and now...I AM OFFICIALLY DONE WITH MY BA! Good luck to everyone else who's feeling drained. Take care of yourself and you can do it

Congrats to you! 70 credits since May is ALOT.
