How to Stay Motivated Academically During Senior Spring?

Fellas, when I graduate, I have accepted an FO AM role at a well-respected BB (not MS/GS, but not a firm that's trashed on in this forum either). 

I attend a semi-target and my GPA is just shy of a 3.6 (3.58). 

I want to go get an MBA a few years down the line, and I know that I cannot afford to let my GPA tank. 

How did you all stay motivated academically during your senior Spring?


Cheers

 

3.58 is below average for T10 MBAs, you need to get a 4.0 this semester. This should be the mentality. You want to hook yourself up for the future.
