I just can't care about school
    #19102301 - 11/07/13 07:05 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I want to do well in school, I'm capable of doing well in school, but I can't force myself to do it. When ever I have anything due or a test to study for I always push it until 4 am the night before and then I say fuck it and just go to bed.
It's impossible for me to go home and to do schoolwork. There's so many other things here that I'd rather do game/drugs/fap/etc that I just cannot do schoolwork.

I really want to do well but I don't know how to make myself anymore. If I could quit gaming that would be my best bet to success but I just can't. I can take a break but I always come back to the games, and I can't limit my time.

Highschool did more harm than good for me, I learned nothing except that I can be a jerk off and still get by.

Any of you experienced folks give me advice on gaining back my ambition and will to succeed? It seems easy 'just do your work' but I can't break my addictions and habits getting in the way..

Self discipline man, you need to learn it.
Make yourself a schedule, write it down, and make yourself follow it.
Unplug your computer and go to a different room if it's too distracting.

Some folks ain't cut out for school. I was always a student who tested in the top percentages and shit like that, and was forced into the honors program and stuff. I freakin hated school though. It's not for everyone.

What are you studying? i've been feeling the same way lately. I have 3 semesters of school left and just realized that I fucking hate biology and am much better at chemistry. I've been getting pretty shitty grades and I really don't give a fuck anymore.

If you're not paying for it yourself, look at the ou stub you're paying for the classes, in state will only be a few hundred dollars, but look at the out of state costs.. Over 1k. You're wasting SOOOO much money.

It sounds like you're in high school though. So this may not help.

The subject of your degree only matters so much. Just the fact that you will have one will open many doors that are closed to us heathens of the uneducated masses.

Lol only matters so much? Maybe if you're planning on only getting a degree to become over qualified for jobs you could get without a degree, just so you could get those jobs.

Let me tell you.  When you're older you're going to want lots of money.  Being poor really really sucks trust me school is nothing compared to the pain of being broke.  Focus on your school son and find a way to make money at it.

Depends what you want to do with your degree. The only times in my life I've regretted not having a degree were when I wanted to join the peace corps, and when I was considering living in Thailand teaching english. For both of these, the subject of your degree really doesn't matter, it just matters that you have one.

Maybe once I get these bullshit basic courses out of the way and I can take interesting classes I'll care more.

General psych is the worst class. Everyone and their moms thinks that they are little psychologists and my professor is a self righteous prick who doesn't even teach, he just plays movies during class and hands out tests. I hate when teachers can't just say "i don't know the answer to your question", instead they blabber on about irrelevant stuff trying to make it seem like they have a clue.

So your isolated completely different situation means that everyone's degree doesn't matter because you wanted to teach English in Thailand or join the peace corps?

Sounds like it just didnt matter for you, telling him what degree he goes for has "little importance" is very innaccurate.

I've been in the EXACT same situation.

Let me just give you some friendly advice. Every single activity in this world gives us a certain kind of vibe. I've been exactly where you are and I 100% agree that the vibes you get from smoking dope, eating some mushies, or playing video games are significantly better than anything you could get out of homework.

But I sort of changed my perspective when I realized how much stress this point of view was causing me. Don't you hate that feeling of doing poorly on a test? Or getting your grades back and thinking "damn, my parent's aren't going to be proud." Or feeling guilty every time you game?

Studying is a very hard habit to get into and it's insane how much I've improved since highschool. But it's something you must start gradually. Start with placing an alarm, say 30 minutes, and tell yourself that you WILL study and do whatever's necessary in this period of time. Reward yourself for your work habits. Think about all the positives that will come from doing well.

Up until grade 11, my average was around 65-70%. My parents would constantly get pissed off and it was too annoying to deal with. If you do well, not only do you get an euphoric feeling of accomplishment, confidence, and success but your parents will begin to respect you a lot more. Your rewards will feel 10x more amplified. You won't have to deal with the stress of pulling all nighters because of poor study habits. It'll change your life!

You could switch majors? When I first got into my biochem program I had to switch it to pre-health until I finished the math portion, then I did and declared my major in biochem after BUSTING MY ASS.... if your in undergrad still (freshmen sophomore year) then those classes are used to weed out people. You can only just push forward.

I am not going to lie some of my most laziest times were those years.. I would just get out of class and go smoke all day with my friends and do jack shit, then I'd cram for a test getting B scores and one semester I totally sucked and got a few C's. If you turn that around in upper division you can easily still get a good GPA...

If you suck at biology though I find it very hard to think you'd be better at Chemistry... I almost wanted to die when I had to take physical chemistry. It's all derivatives and differential equations.....My strong point is in Biology.

I can now gladly say that my GPA has increased drastically since I have cut out other things..

My friend dropped out, so my blaze buddy was gone.. so now I'm pretty much locked into studying M-Th, then Friday and Saturday's I go out with friends.. perfect balance if you ask me...Sometimes I do shit during the week..

Looks like Gaming is your main problem, throw that shit out, I don't even have cable (b/c I don't want to pay for it looool)...

Also think about what your going to do in the future. If you ever want to get into Grad school your going to have to take the Grad test for that major and that shit will be pretty hard and if your scores aren't up to par, you won't even be able to get your masters...

Generally speaking your degree doesn't really matter.  Unless you plan on working in a highly technical field such as engineering pretty much any degree will suffice.

What do you mean by degree doesn't matter? Surely a bachelor's degree in say pharmacology, immunology, or biochemistry will yield much more opportunity than a degree in the history of basket weaving.

I'm not saying you'll be able to get an awesome paying job with a bachelor of science but I feel like your options would be far more open and the pay would probably be better.

Of course I've never been hungry, and that's not a bad thing like you're trying to make it seem. Just because you went without doesn't mean that I should have to

Bio and Chem do have some overlapping aspects but they are two totally different beasts. Bio at my Uni is just a ton of straight up memorization of animal phylums, different body plans etc. It drives me fucking nuts. But i'm kicking ass in organic chemistry. I'd much rather SOLVE problems than memorize information.

Don't know if your school is the same, but in my school bio majors can minor in chemistry just by taking an additional three classes. You should look into it.

You should still be knowledgeable enough to know that just because you wanted to go to the peace corps and go to Thailand doesn't mean that everyone's degree doesn't matter, even that's your experience lol..

Maybe if you're just getting a general aa, but I was under the impression he was getting a ba.

here is some advice. buckle down, a keep educating yourself. school is for people with half a brain. unfortunately in this society, it's looked upon that you require schooling, to prove that you can hang with the big boys, because of egos, and bullet proof narcissism.

On a side note, I'm currently on vyvanse studying for this upcoming test, I'm thinking about getting myself prescribed since I have insurance, I wouldn't take them daily just binge every now on then with what I have saved up a few nights a month to cram study.

I guess what they say is true what do call a doctor that was last in his class.




doctor


Shit graded on a curve is a joke. 80 percent should never be an A :picard:

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

you started talking about me gloating when I graduate, which is something I am very uncomfortable doing.  to illustrate the point I mentioned the fact that not only do I not like talking myself up, it makes me uncomfortable when other people do so.

when the fuck did i ever compliment you anyways... how... how did we get here!?



you started talking about me gloating when I graduate, which is something I am very uncomfortable doing.  to illustrate the point I mentioned the fact that not only do I not like talking myself up, it makes me uncomfortable when other people do so.



i did insinuate that you probably wouldn't want to gloat then, didn't i?

maybe i'm hinting at how you shouldn't make snide remarks about people, when they're just asking for help; and try and make yourself look like "one of the gang". you know, the gang of snobby overly pragmatic bores who do nothing but gloat all fucking day, when their bored or disinterested.

probably the wrong guy to question though, you do seem pretty down to Earth. good luck with your medical license. :thumbup:

I'm incredibly proud of how far I have gotten in school, yes.

I don't see your point though. and I'd like to stop talking about myself. It's making me uncomfortable



no, you should be. but to be at the top of your class being graded on a curve, isn't like your really top of the class... your class could have been morons. :shrug:

don't like talking about yourself, then avoid the issue entirely.

I was not putting OP down to make him feel bad, but to motivate him.

he needs a kick in the pants.  He's got a great opportunity before him and he doesn't see it.  he views it as a chore.


my advice was adderall and caffeine :lol: worked for me

I dont know man I only know trades math not your fancy Doctor Canadian math.


Wouldn't want the doctor with the 60 percent 3.0 GPA . I mean he screws the pooch.

Sorry but back to op. Your mom should make you work a shit job and pay rent for a few years then maybe you will see you aren't special.  But you should try to finish out this semester and get as high as GPA as possible as it can fuck up your Finical Aid.  Your dad might get arrested from stealing from the bank he works at  :monopoly:

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I've been in the EXACT same situation.

Let me just give you some friendly advice. Every single activity in this world gives us a certain kind of vibe. I've been exactly where you are and I 100% agree that the vibes you get from smoking dope, eating some mushies, or playing video games are significantly better than anything you could get out of homework.

But I sort of changed my perspective when I realized how much stress this point of view was causing me. Don't you hate that feeling of doing poorly on a test? Or getting your grades back and thinking "damn, my parent's aren't going to be proud." Or feeling guilty every time you game?

Studying is a very hard habit to get into and it's insane how much I've improved since highschool. But it's something you must start gradually. Start with placing an alarm, say 30 minutes, and tell yourself that you WILL study and do whatever's necessary in this period of time. Reward yourself for your work habits. Think about all the positives that will come from doing well.

Up until grade 11, my average was around 65-70%. My parents would constantly get pissed off and it was too annoying to deal with. If you do well, not only do you get an euphoric feeling of accomplishment, confidence, and success but your parents will begin to respect you a lot more. Your rewards will feel 10x more amplified. You won't have to deal with the stress of pulling all nighters because of poor study habits. It'll change your life!




^^^

You never know what opportunities school will open for you. About 3 years ago I used to only smoke pot, take mushies/acid, and dick around on the shroomery all day. I decided to start doing better in school, who would of guessed I'm now a double major in Physics and Comp. Science and doing some paid internships at one of the NASA complexes, working with brain computer interfaces! Best of all, I still smoke pot, take mushies, and acid. I definitely do so less, but this honestly makes each experience a lot better.

I find that psychedelics are best experienced after a time in your life that you've experienced a lot and changed a lot. This gives you time to reflect on your decisions and think deeply about what decisions you will be making in the immediate future.

But also, as others have said, school isn't for everyone. But I think you should at least give it the ol' college try before committing to skipping school while you are still young.

Get a job then and take a break from school. Then you'll get sick of a job that pays shit, and then you'll want to go back to school and have motivation knowing how shitty it is to get paid shit.

i'm having a rough semester. i was just promoted to a full time employee with my company and given a good raise that will get me a car, an off campus apartment and generally a much better lifestyle. but it's costing me. i'm doing well in most of my classes, but i'm barely scraping by in another. all i did before the promotion is work, study, sleep and get high by myself once a week to unwind. i've since cut out the getting high and still, all i do is work, study and sleep and my workload is way more than i can physically handle. i only have enough resources (e.g. time and energy) to throw at everything i'm doing.

it could be worse. i have a job that i can kind of study with, and i'm almost done with the semester. next semester i can plan differently so i can have more of a balance. and the promotion was necessary. i need a car and i need to get the fuck off this campus. but tonight i just gave up on a homework assignment because mcgraw-hill connect is a fucking piece of shit and the assignment isn't helping me prepare for one of the two exams i have tomorrow. giving up is not an option for me. i'll be okay, but the next few weeks are going to really stress me out. i just started screaming one day in my apartment alone a couple of weeks back. i'm not well. i'm just not well.

but i'm not fucking giving up.

I'm the same way OP.  My high school and college career are a total disaster even though people often make out like I am smart.  I actually have like 2-3 years worth of passing credits but I just can't make myself go back anymore.

It is funny because I will study inane things that are interesting to me when I'm supposed to be studying something else which might be interesting under other circumstances but it is schoolwork so fuck no, I'm not going to study that now.  I wish I could change but I've given up for now :facepalm:

my problem is caring too much. i'm so twisted about tonight that i could just destroy my apartment. i won't, but i'm at that level. i'm trying to work - I'M ALWAYS FUCKING WORKING - and i'm having problems with comprehending what my dickhead customers are telling me because i'm so twisted.

seriously read it again. he said it "did more harm then good" and then specified about what he learned in school. two different sentence, two different meanings.

Thanks for the input people. I think I just have to quit smoking and can't game anymore. What I was saying about high school was that it seems pointless that I was able to get my diploma for close to zero effort. That diploma means nothing :lol:
