10 Random Reasons Why I Am Not Motivated (please do not think it's a complaint letter, it is NOT)

1. If I manage to overcome my laziness and get my ass to write down my master's thesis, I will have the same degree that other people with a basic knowledge of English and no preparation in political science whatsoever are going to have too.

2. I am actually afraid of finishing my thesis, because that would mean that I will have to become automatically unemployed with no excuse, and the idea of job searching freaks me out.

3. Obviously nobody ever thought that despite I come from a EU country (very poor one by the way), I also need some financial stimulation for the results I get in my studies. Hey. we were also under Communism, give me some credit! I heard that the Italian Foreign Ministry is very generous to children of Eastern Europe..

4. I am a 25-year-old daydreamer with a low self-esteem, a bank account charged with my parents' money, and fear for telling things to people's faces.

5. I have no silicon boobs, colagen-filled lips, tiger top, hair extensions and a mafia boss boyfriend. I am too stingy to pay for a haircut in Italy, and my boyfriend is a regular everyday normal guy and we enjoy having aperitifs instead of trips to the Maldives. 
(Don't get me wrong, at least we pay for them with our own money and we talk about music and books and political science, which is enriching. We also like travelling though).

6. People with silicon boobs, colagen-filled lips, tiger tops, hair extensions and mafia boss boyfriends are role models in my country. The same people think it's a big deal when they learn how to use the word "consensus" and they think their whole mindset changed after reading Paulo Coelho's books.

7. I do not know how to deal with questions about my future plans and how I plan to realize them, so I just smile stupidly and try to change the topic.

8. I actually could stay all day at home watching VIP Brother, Music Idol and Desperate Housewives. I even enjoy it. I constantly refresh the website of Music Idol to see whom they kicked out.

9. Plane tickets are really getting damn expensive. Buses make me sick. Trains make me sick and dirty. 

10. The world is experiencing a severe economic and financial crisis, globalization and the Pope is telling people not to use condoms. This has already depressed at least half of the world population, why should I be an exception?
