In order to change you need to admit you have a problem I know I have a problem but dont know what it is.....?

Question

Here is my symptoms can you see if you can figure out my problem? I failed my freshman year in high school, I got to college and I said I was not going to make the same mistake. Got there and sort of took advantage of my freedom. I barely went to class because I never really learned I usually would have to take the book and learn it on my own. I would wait to the last minute to do stuff because I liked the adrenaline rush and simply because the material would be fresh on my mind if I were to study like a day before the test. But doing it this way caused me to fail even though I felt confident that I wouldnt. And when I try to start studying early I never can because it bores me and I usually wind up doing something else. I try to change but I can't. I need any help I can get to change this because I don't want to be a failure and let my family down.

Answer 1

Be true to yourself, not your family or anyone else.
"Better to fail at something you want to do versus something you don't".

Answer 2

I have done some of that too.

For school, even if its boring, if you decided to take a class, you have to learn the stuff, whatever it is, hard or easy, fun or boring.

Thats mostly what College is for. To prove you can learn boring things and be predictable. Then a company wants to hire you to be that more.

SO, you sit there, twice a week for at least an hour , maybe 3 , and learn whatever it is. For each class.
