I really just need to talk about this to someone. I’m in college and I’ve always loved to learn, but now I don’t feel motivated do my school work or to study, but at the same time, when a test roles around and I don’t know how to answer the questions I get stressed and care about trying to do well. I’ve also always beaten myself over the head about having good grades, my parents never had to push me to do good in school. I’m just so stressed about it, the semester is ending soon, and I’m scared I’m gonna fail 2 classes which will be then first time I’ve ever failed a class.
I was in a similar situation as you. I pulled through and let me tell you: It did not get better :(
I managed to get good grades and such because I knew most of the core concepts already and had some luck in the intelligence lottery w.r.t the specific kinds of intelligence beneficial in my field which enabled me to learn the new parts really quite easily but if that’s not the case for you, YMMV.
If I was doing it again, I’d stop if possible (a degree was not strictly required in my situation but beneficial). Failing that, I’d find a way to make it not as stressful (i.e. fewer classes).
