Apart from these quotes, there are other things that can keep your spirit high as you try to earn your degree. Try to balance your life.

This could help you be more relaxed which is also important for your mental state.

Also, working out or doing physical activities can help as well. Try to go hiking or camping over the weekends and this will help declutter your brain. If you do that, you will be more than ready and inspired to go back to school.
