Just Kill Me Now

Post Reply New Topic

Lately, I haven't been doing my homework in college. It's really killing my grade. However, I just can't seem to feel motivated for the homework. I get on, click on it, and then I stare at it and decide not to do it.
But then again I always hated the homework. For me personally I only do better on homework when I have read the chapter, discussed the chapter, then answered questions based on the information. This teacher however has you read, answer questions, and then discuss. I hate the class because once I've already read the chapter and answered the questions I no longer want to discuss it in next class. I'm bored really. And when I get bored I don't like doing the work.
I just don't know what to do any more. I don't know how to get myself motivated to do the homework in this class. I just can't. I am tired of hearing the same information over and over again. And I am tired of the homework. I read the chapter and then go unto to answer the questions and find myself over thinking a lot of the answers. I just don't know what to do any more.

I am not in college, but I definitely understand your dilemma there. The teacher would rather have you first try something on your own and then come back to debrief, but you (and I) prefer trying to get the answers right or correct the first time around.

Maybe someone else here knows a way to help you deal with that situation. But even if not, it is at least only temporary.

I don't have an answer for you but I wanted to let you know that I'm going through the same thing this semester. This is my 7th year in university and I feel exhausted and I feel like everything's been turned up several notches -- demands in classes and sensory assaults and my general lethargy and lack of motivation as well.

In fact, I'm reading WP right now instead of writing a 2-page paper I'm supposed to turn in an hour from now. I'm seriously behind in all my classes and wondering if I'm going to flunk this semester. I'm thinking I'm in MAB (midlife autistic burnout -- which can also happen earlier, like in the teens and twenties.) I'm losing some cognitive skills and even becoming physically weaker. Just bringing groceries in from the car is exhausting.

I think I need a vacation. A long one.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know that you're not the only one going through a lack of motivation to do college work right now. Just in case you're the type of person who feels better knowing it's not just you. I hope things get better for you soon! Hang in there.

I just can't can't seem to get motivated. If I begin to resent and hate the class. The less and less motivation I have.

For me, it's the professor that kills a class for me. I just dropped one of my classes. I love the subject matter, I was excited about the class. The horrid professor killed it all for me. I can't perform well for someone who feels hostile toward me.

My teacher is extremely scattered.

Eh hem a day in the classroom with my teacher:

Mr. [insert name here]: Okay I ahve some important things to tell the class, oh wait let me get the role sheet out...but before I do that I gotta turn the cellphone off...where are my markers

I just. I can't deal with this teacher. He's...just. ugh.

I've got a professor like that. She's just too stupid.

The professor I just dropped is like that. Has to get help *every* time to use powerpoint. And gets distracted in themiddle of lecture and starts telling us stuff like "watch for people on TV with pointy ears; they're descended from elves." Seriously.

lol my political science teacher is the same way it drives me nuts. I have been feeling the same way about school as you (highly unmotivated) I've got 3 papers I need to do by tomorrow 1 of which is already late. I just have way to much going on right now, it feels like I'm getting rushed to the edge of a cliff. It takes so much for me to act normal at school that when I get home I just want to go to bed and never wake up. I take Adderall and I think it's making my sensory issues worse, but I'm not sure because I'm a wreck either way.

Deadlines are great and all that. But at the same time. They don't help me at all either. I feel rushed and when I feel rushed I don't do so good on my work.
I hate my second class as well. My teacher sends me mixed messages, he gives me good grades on my paper. But he always writes, I don't think you're quite getting it come by my office hours so we can work on it. But then why give me a good grade on the paper?

He always questions my authority:

Me, I want to do my event on a scooter meetup

Him, Are you sure you can write objectively in an event you're actively involved in?

Me, Yes

But then on the other side

Girl, I want to write about my Christian volunteer event

Him, Go right ahead

or

Boy, Going to write about a party I'm going to

Him, Sounds good


What the hell?! Grrr
