I've pretty much goofed for the past two years, I'm positive that my ability to think has gone down the drain for it. Now when things are getting more serious, I can't fucking focus in my classes and I have no idea what the hell time management is. I know I flunked my first pre-calc test (a class I should have passed three years ago in high school, not now.) I feel like a moron that shouldn't be in college, but I don't know what else I should do. Being constantly told as a kid that I was really smart certainly isn't helping how I feel. (I mean what else are you going tell to the awkward kid.) I'm a joke of person and I don't have the motivation to improve all my shitty qualities.

Also shout out to that shitty anon that's going inevitability comment to tell me to jump off a bridge or some shit. You're a blessing on this gay earth.

It's always assumed that you should know how to manage your time without ever being taught, and that even if you have never needed time management skills before, you'll just sort of automatically get them if you're motivated enough. It sucks.

I had the same history of being told I was really smart my whole life and then crashing when I got to college. For me, it helped when I found away to let go of my fear of failing. I asked myself what the worst thing that could happen would be if I was to fail and I looked at my other options and found ones that I could live with. So then when failing became a viable option, I didn't stress out about it as much and I was more motivated to do the work and not so wrapped up in my "I can't do this, I'm such an idiot" anxiety. I just tried my best and if that wasn't good enough, oh well, but my best turned out to be better than it seemed at first when I was frozen in anxiety.

It could be that college really isn't right for you. Lots of talented people never went to college. It's not the only valid path. If you're really not happy then you can look into other options. Think about what you really want in life and what it will take to get there. You'll be more motivated if you're working toward something you care about than if you're just doing what you feel like you're supposed to. But if you do that and find that you really want to make this work, I'm sure you can find some way to motivate yourself and learn the skills you need.

I hope you find something that works for you. Sorry for rambling about myself so much.

Well. First I'll say that your math abilities don't determine how smart you are, because some of us are really good at math and some are not. It's a skill set, most subjects are, so don't measure your worth based on how you do in that one class or on that one project.

Second, a lot of people screw around in high school/at the beginning of college. It doesn't mean college isn't for you.

So don't improve all your shitty qualities. Improve one. Srsly. Just one. That's all ya need to do right now. You can't gain focus by focusing on a ton of different things. I know this is easier said than done when you're carrying a full course load, but....maybe just say "Imma gonna work on my study habits." And just do that. Research study skills. I took a class devoted to nothing but developing study skills. The most BOOOORING class I ever took.

It was also one of the most useful.

holy shit you sound so much like me when I was in college.

you can get through it and it will be SO WORTH IT, anon. I wish I knew what else to say to help you but I don't know you or your specific situation very well. gah. But I will say I graduated a few months ago and I'm glad all that is behind me, and it DOES end! And you CAN do it! Even if you hate it. :( yana.

Oh gosh, I wasn't expecting so many thoughtful replies this late. I just wanted to vent really. And don't worry, I'm doing a lot better now and I'm sure I'll be able to finish college and improve my bad habits.

Thanks guys!
