The motivation to keep studying comes from within. The “fire” is that burning desire inside you to succeed and you’ve got to let it grow and burn brightly. The very thing you need to keep going and pass all those exams, is that fire inside you.

This song is just a nice reminder that someone has your back when you’re almost to that breaking point. I listened to this song right before every exam just to remind myself that it was going to be a good day because of all the hard work I put into it. So go into that testing center and just know that The Grouch and I wish you a good day.

Imagine was one of the most influential songs for me when I was studying. As a motivator, I put a note on my computer screen saying “Imagine the day when it’s all over” as a daily reminder. Imagining that day when I passed my last exam was one of the biggest motivators that kept me going. And that day did not disappoint.
