All or nothing mentality :(?

[izzie_morris]

On my first year of university I didn't do as well as I could because I didn't work hard enough. Most of my work was in the 40s%. Now I'm in my second year and I want to work hard but my brain is telling me "well you've already ruined it last year so what's the point of working hard now cause you won't do as well as you could've". Other people around me say I can still make up for the bad grades I got last year but my brain keeps stopping me literally telling me I've ruined everything.🤷🏻‍♀️

But I feel like it does matter, cause I want to get into a good (masters/graduate) programme after this cause I want to chance my course and if I don't do well then I can't.

The question is whether you want to study or do it to satisfy someone else's dreams.

If you want to, then stop thinking (it's the part when the brain can tell you something) and just do your job. Soon you will go to work, and believe me, there are some days you just want to stay in bed, but you have to do your job. The sooner you learn how to do it, the better.

If you don't want to study, quit and go to work.

It's life. You have to stop focusing on fancy names and start doing real things. There are no more mom and dad to bear the consequences for you... Now you get it all

Are you sure it's because you haven't worked enough? Also, even if you're going to fail, you'll try again next year. Better make sure you learn everything you can and try it with everything you've learned.

And remember, you haven't failed until you know you have failed. It's not over yet, so you can still manage to succeed.

But don't overwork yourself. It's counterproductive, and it won't really work in the end.

good answers below. so many successful people quit colleges.

relative bombed their first year... due to various issues. left that school, went to new one... top of class.

sometimes it's the environment. but you have to leave the past behind, learn your lessons about yourself, face the truth, and set out with new purpose and strength.

and that's a daily and life statement...

Nobody cares what your GPA is once you leave college. That said, doesn't seem like school is your thing, so why go to grad school?

Perhaps change your perspective, in the end the grades are not important; It's about how much you actually learn and learning is always good 😊
