Brief introduction: I'm a college student about to graduate next week. I used to track my progress on here in a thread (you can find it on my profile) and had a lot of very bold, but realistic goals that I had planned out in august. Looking back, I'm thinking damn, I was so motivated and had such a good plan going. For some reason however though, during this semester I forgot all about my plan and feel like I messed up.

My question is, why does this happpen? How did I let my goals and dreams slip away from so easily and carelessly? I'm not super lazy or stupid, but it seems like I'm not alone in this.
