Hey gang, Anyone out there experiencing some student burnout? I'm in my fourth year, taking only three classes (two first year and one second year) and yet I'm barely scraping by. I just feel so spent, you know? And there's all these expectations of me, cos this is the last year my parents will pay for me to be here, so if I don't graduate I'm fucked... and I really don't want to take a fifth year trying to finish a three-year degree, because that's just stupid. The thing is, now that I've finally figured out what it is I really want to do, THAT'S what I want to do, not what I'm doing now. But I can't yet, so I gotta do this. But here I am, making an ass of myself. I'm supposed to be studying for an exam tomorrow, but instead I'm haunting the hip forums and hanging out on msn. What the hell is wrong with me? I used to love school...
Maybe you just need a break, it happends to me too, from time to time... But I always come back to school with new ideas. Take a trip or smth...on the road I mean...
i hear that. i'm only on my second year though. the school takes alot out of me. i think i could get through it if i was else where. i put school work off all the time anymore. its a bad thing. i never did it last year, but this year i just want out. but i want to "better myself". i'm sure you'll figure it out. and trust me you're not alone.
I can TOTALLY relate to you! im in the middle of my uni exams too and im on msn and hanging around these forums lol! ive totally burned out too, it seems like everyone else is cruising along with their courses and im in some intesive horribly stressful course. most of my friends have 12 hr weeks and i have a 27hr week! its a living hell! im just so over it, but at the same time i know im wasting money by not trying to pass. i have 4 exams this week all in a row i just have NO motivation whatsoever. maybe you need a holiday? some time to think about why you're doing what you're doing and getting some inpiration to do work!
I took the weekend off, that was my solution. I was swamped with work and supposed to go home, but I ended up throwing up from stress and called the weekend off. I stayed here, did some work, but mostly had some "me time" and now I feel a little better. I'll just be really glad when this is done!!
27 hrs??? Sheesh that's a lot. As for school, right now I'm content though last semester, I was really fed-up; more with my university itself than my classes.
