Why do we often coerce ourselves to do what we don't like?

[Singachea]

Every single minute passes, but my work is still here. On my table, there are a lot of books and papers, and it is really untidy due to the entropy law.

The assignments come out every week; the lab report deadlines were already set and waiting me to submit.

The lecturers just know to speed up the lectures and to have make up classes; ECA have been stealing my time on the way.

They said they didn't want to fail students, and they gave the recess week but it was even worse since all lecturers assumed that the students would be free.

Oh my god, what the heck are you doing? Why don't you come and help me??

Instead of keep questioning yourself why you have to do this and that, things that you don't like to do, why not try to think positively and do your best for the assignments that needed to be handed in.

Motivation is often better than immersing oneself in negative thoughts.
Try to think positively, motivate yourself into completing the tasks that await you for long to be completed. Afterall, they need to be completed and handed in, why not think positively, tell yourself you can do it You'll be able to learn something at the end of the completing of the reports/assigments.

Lecturers and tutors don't give homeworks to toture us, but to encourage us to practise what we have learnt in class, so as to make us remember the key points they have taught in class. I understand how you are feeling when tonnes of works start to pile up, I'll feel very stressful too. But I'll always tell myself, I can do it, I'll learn something from completing the tasks
