Maybe the units you're taking aren't working for you because that's not what you're supposed to be doing.
Maybe you haven't been taking the kind of coursework you should be taking?
You know, this is part of the 'I know I have a problem, I just can't fix it' thing. I fell into Arts/Law because I got the ENTER to qualify for that course, and I studied Psych/Legal Studies at high school, so it made sense to pursue it. But it wasn't something I'm passionate about.
My cousin, a few years older than me, didn't get the ENTER required and was devastated, but after doing Arts for two years, he sat some tests and was able to switch over to law the same year I first started. And it's such a cliche, but he was so happy, he was crying, because law is his passion and he put everything he had into it, whereas I didn't really care and skipped class and all. People have suggested I switch courses but- really, there's nothing I WANT to do, so there isn't any point. And I know it seems stupid to have the opportunities and then squander them like this, but I'm so not motivated.
maybe once the semester's over, you could get a job for the summer, something different and exciting, even if it's working in a retail store and meeting all kinds of different people
Well, that's probably going to happen. Because my parents have given me an ultimatum- if I don't get Distinctions for my exams, I'm to take a year off uni and get a real job. Scares the crap out of me, I'm so antisocial. I mean, joking...but seriously, being around people is hard for me. So- I'm hoping what doesn't break me will make me stronger if it comes to that.
I think it's perfectly fine to emo out on LJ every once in while. I mean, I do it lots more than you do and some people still like me, hehehehe. And I think you're a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for.
Hee! I guess I need to give myself permission to emo out instead of beating myself up about it. *rolls eyes* Thanks for your comment, it's good to try and feel hope instead of terror for the future. *huggles*
