Study Problems

I'm currently studying at Uni (college) and I find it very difficult to bring myself to do the homework required. I haven't been to school for 2 years and I'm getting worried I'm going to fail (I have to pass!!!)
Can anyone give me any tips to help me get into the studying mood cause I just can't bring myself to do it I spend too much time on here. Perhaps some sort of meditation beforehand? I've also been taking brahmi for nearly 2 weeks. Help plzzz.

P.s. I have been laying off most drugs lately (except I smoked a fair bit of cannabis last weekend and had 2 pills which I think were 2ci or 2cb, i dont plan on taking anything else for at least a few months. I smoke tobacco but I don't drink

Adderall...Ritalin.... Those usually work.
Kick in the keister? Working at a shit job for a year?
Maybe those things will convince you to knuckle under at school.
Or just partty and get laid...can;t go wrong doing that.

I know the feeling too well... I don't know a cure for it - the weed probably doesn't help tough.

God I havent even been to class in three weeks. Im about to take finals having 0 idea what I have in any class because I havent picked up any homework or any midterms. I just had to get that off my chest. According to a guy in one class I got the highest grade on the midterm, but couldhe be mistaken? Ive no idea, and the other classes, I have no idea what so ever. I cant imagine im doing poorly, but shit, fuck, and damn. Time to go to sleep.

Snort some ritalin. It will do wonders.

I can't study at home, there's just too much fun distraction like guitars, music, computer etc. What really helps for me when I need to get things done is go to the library and study there. All the other people who sit there are studying and you can't really talk out loud or do anything so you just grab your books and start. It really worked for me, you should try it. I never study at home anymore because it just doesn't work. The library is the place to be when you need to study. On top of that there are always nice girls there
So go there for a few houres, get some shit done, go home with a good feeling that you finally did something and then you still have the rest of the day, or the whole evening, to spend on whatever you want

hey there !
it seems as if the two of us are in the same boat concerning gettint oneselves to do our homework.
basically, i found myself being a lot less motivated during winter, as generally i like to slack around at home and just hang in front of the computer.
sometimes i have this enormous load of work just next to me and still ignore it, whereas somedays i just get on it and work like a madman 
there is no cure, its just self discipline - and that is what i lack.
i need to set myself a fixed schedule and try to get up everyday early and get my stuff done, well, as i LOVE sleeping (12h no prob) i seriously need some re-organising to take place SOON.
well, jeah, good luck and kick your own ass some, dropping out is nothing but shit ! peace ohm

GO TO THE LIBRARY! It is so quiet there...and out of pure bordem you will have to do work. it works great for me.
also...plan you work ahead of time and reward yourself with a joint or something after doing the required work.
and get help...if you are in college...help is available at your fingertips..you just have to go and find it.

Have you tried masturbation? No joke. I've noticed that busting one off settles me down and helps me focus.
Let's just say that I am very focused all of the time.

OK RandalFlagg, hawksapprentice - although ADD/ADHD medication would probably help, i don't want to take more drugs as I stated in my original message! I haven't been diagnosed with ADD (though I probably do have it I'm starting to think). Also RandalFlag yes I masturbate everyday it doesn't help lol
Ohmatic - yes we sounds like we are int he same boat, I also can sleep 12h+ no problemo AND STILL BE TIRED?!?!
As For stefan and deadhead321 - thankyou for those answers they help a lot I think I might try that tomorrow. I've thought about it, and it would probably be best idea. Bloody psychology is so hard to concentrate on, I find myself listening to the birds or cars outside. Thankyou once again everyone for contributing.

I agree with Randall. Work a shit job for a year, you'll be dying to succeed in school. I work a shit job on the weekends, and it's done wonders for my determination during the week, when I talk to the miserable full-timers

sleeping too long makes you tired! even though it's very tempting (I often sleep to long too) it will make you tired and less productive during the day. Try setting an alarm clock every day on the same time; it works. ofcoarse set your alarm so you get about 8 houres of sleep.
I study psychology too. After the summer I will start my master on neuropsychology. very interesting! But still it doesn't matter how interesting it is, when I'm at home nothing happens
