Should I even be here taking up space?

Published

For the last year I've studied my ass off trying to get to where I am today but now that I'm here I'm asking myself what am I doing here? I've just done the first week of classes and did great on the first small review test. Tuesday the classes start up after the long weekend. My problem is I just can't get motivated do this course, I've gotten all A's in all my courses up until now but now that I'm here I just can't get started. Classmates were telling me how long they prepared for this test I told them I studied into the night the night before as well, truth is I didn't study I did not even try hard on the test not one question did I even recheck.Classmates tell me they have reviewed and rewritten notes taken in class 2 or 3 times I have not been motivated enough to even carry my books out of the car in the house yet. I need to get motivated any motivation hints? Should I even be here taking up space if I just going to go through the motions?

I am sorry you are feeling that way. The title of your post and some comments in your post make me wonder if you are depressed maybe? School and life can be stressful, maybe you should talk to your doctor about these feelings.

If you're not depressed, maybe you aren't being challenged enough. You made comments about taking test without studying, did you do well? Easy tasks get boring! I know how that goes, I have 2 assignments due today, one for Philosophy and one for English, and I haven't even started yet. They are both easy, but I keep procrastinating.

If you need someone to talk to, feel free to PM me. If you can't send pm's, post a message here and I will see if I can pm you my email address.

Hope everything works out well for you!!

I can relate. I have OB this semester, definitely not one of my favorite subjects in nursing school. I'd rather be running the halls of my LTC than watching a lady partsl birth.

I don't have much motivation to study OB either, glad I remember most of it from LPN school.
