Bloody diploma thesis

Getting this freakin' university degree is harder than I though almost 5 years ago. I basically finished my major (media & communication) and finished my minor (business administration). All that stands between me and this degree is a thesis of approx. 100 pages and 36 movies I need to watch (my second minor is movie sciences).

Ok, why is that so hard? Other people managed to do it and many more will. However, what once started with a passion for modern and classical means of communication and art shifted into "why the heck am I still studying that?". Thanks to AIESEC and all the conversations I had during the past 2 years, my areas of interest drastically shifted and so did the things I'm passioned about. Don't get me wrong, I'm still interested in the topics I started to study, but the passion is gone. The problem is, that this change of mindset/passion was a gradual process. It didn't change from one day to another. So, basically, I'm now about to do the final steps of my studies, after 9 semesters, and I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO INTRINSIC MOTIVATION TO DO IT! *tilt*.
The only thing that pops up in my mind from time to time is "get this bloody degree before you are 26".

Some interesting months are coming up. I have three more months to watch those 36 movies and I need to start writing my thesis at the beginning of february. However, in don't have the slightest idea what the paper could be about. I don't see any single topic within my areas of study topic that would keep me motivated during the whole creation-process of such a huge paper. Hallelujah...

Stay tuned...
