To quit or not to quit College

0

I am a Junior and majoring in Graphic Design. I’ve failed two courses and may be failing some more. I’ve lost so much motivation that I don’t know what to do anymore. I want to take a break and go back but then I keep telling myself I’m almost done and to keep going. I feel so lost and I really don’t know what to do at all. I’m tearing down knowing how terrible I’ve been on my grades and no matter how much I try to do better it’s not good enough. Some courses no matter how much help I get like tutoring I can not memorize things well. I’m a terrible tester which has bruised my grade a lot.

I feel like I’ve let myself down and so many others. I don’t know why I can’t get through a simple gen ed courses. What am I doing wrong? I just feel like I’m the problem. :(

It sounds to me like you are just drained out. I get how you feel, except I am an 18-year-old senior in high school. I have just lost motivation in everything school-related. What I suggest you do it, keep going for the rest of this semester and then take a break. You could take just a semester off or a full year off. It is up to you, but I really think it could help. You may be better off taking some time off school and returning motivated than slugging your way through another year with no motivation at all. I start college in the fall. I am planning on doing just one semester to test it out and see if I have more motivation by then. If all is well, I will continue on to the second semester. If I still do not have enough motivation, I will take the following semester off and return the following year.

I agree with the post above. Take some time off. Everyone needs a little break. You are so close to being done, but taking a little time for yourself wont hurt. School is always there. Your health and happiness comes first. Take a little vacation or do something you have been wanting to do for a while. Dont put the pressure on you that you are letting you and others down. You are not the problem. You are a smart student thats just burnt out. Its normal. Take a little break and come back strong and feel proud when you walk across that stage at graduation and receive your degree!!All the best!
