Okay this year i kind of have blown off school and given up my ambition of going to UC Berkley and raising my gpa to 4.1....i HAD a 3.8 after freshman year but this year I have all B's and I hardly try and I dont even do all of my homework. And I procrastinate on everything

Ughhh I hate this, I feel directionless, I am not depressed but why the hell did this happen

I have always been very motivated, I'd feel lazy and lethargic for like a week then I'd go back

But I've never felt like this for like 6 MONTHS

I used to be depressed but I still was very studious

I hate this, I've just been trying to wait for it to pass like it usually does, but it WON'T

Small tasks feel like so much work

AGHHHHH how can i go back to how i was before????

i used to study soooo much

 I used to be great in my not-so-great school, then I went to the top school and was too used to my laziness whereas everyone there is so damn hardworking.

I'm sorry, I can't offer much advice either. But I'd say, buy a set of colour felt-tip pens for taking notes.

I wish I knew. I'm going through exactly the same thing.

Cept I was never REALLY studious.

No, it's just something really common. Maybe you want to get back up slowly. And instead of complaining about it, go do something. Read one page of the textbook, something?

I feel your pain. I've basically had a fuck it attitude this year, my grades are good-decent but i know i can do better, but i just don't have the motivation to do it
