How can I better motivate myself now that she is gone?

You need support - from either your friends or family or your church. If you really can't study or stop thinking about her, it might be worthwhile to take a break from studies, and do something else. Travel, work, anything to break the old routine.

have you ever looked in a mirror? what do you see? are you seeing a new and improved you or an old and getting shabbier you?

People in our lives come and go... we go to other places sometimes leaving someone hurt. but that doesnt mean that wherever we are going, we are going to forget the things that made that person special to us. also remember that for every person that came and went in our lives, they always leave a mark and no matter if that someone is still with you or not that mark will always remain in you because that mark is a mark of you. when somebody leaves, to where that somebody goes there is always something good that will happen to him/her. the world is young, people come and people go, if you dont open your heart to other people then chances are you wont find somebody who might fill in the empty spaces in your heart.

LET GO OR FALL DOWN. i know its easier said than done. but holding on to something that wont be yours is burrying your feet to the grave. what matters most is that you get the chance to know that person and the chance to say to yourself that that person became a part of you. Love yourself more, think of yourself more. and always remember that when somebody leaves us behind, theres always somebody who will fill that space that was left.

You need to concentrate on your classes, try to put her in the back of your head for now. What good would it do you to lose her and fail your classes? Also that person dear to you would only want you to succeed in life.

college campuses offer counseling. Greif counseling is a big issue for people of all ages. Sounds like you need to get busy with another project to get your mind back on track.
