It might also be worth thinking about taking a different route through college – there are lots of apprenticeships available here in the UK (I don’t know about where you are). This website has all the information you’ll need if you’re considering this option. Apprenticeships let you work some days of the week and study on others, so although it takes you longer to get qualifications, you finish with a lot of valuable experience that will be invaluable when the time comes to take the plunge with your company and you can also earn while you learn, so you’ll have some savings put down.

If you’re certain that you want to stay in college but you don’t know how to make it work for you, maybe you could try looking at different ways of studying. People’s habits change – while you may once have been able to study from a textbook, you might now prefer to use mindmaps or work in a study group. If you want some more ideas, talk to your teachers: it is their job, after all. If you can concentrate on things you like, maybe you don’t dislike schoolwork: you’re just looking at it in the wrong way.

Good luck!
