I m soo glad to found tis thread because I m also in the same situation as u JPP. I m going to be 21 in two weeks. I m in 3rd year at the moment,in a highly prestigious career but i m unhappy tho because i have no passion for the course. Everyday i struggle to go to college..to get out of my bed and trying best to stay focus while trying hard to convince myself i love the course; i love my job. I hated my course since i stepped into college. I have the worst grades in the class. Every year, I ve been getting just a Pass for all my exams. If i continue getting pass...and graduated with a PASS degree. I m screwed!! It would be alot more difficult to get a job than honours student. Few days ago, my classmate said to me " you seemed lack of energy all the time and you seem like you dont want to be here" He was right. I dont! People noticed my soul isnt der when i m in college.
Deep down my passion is Music. I want to study music and become a Music teacher. Most times I ve come across from many threads about passion and havng a career u are passionate of doing " -ITS KILLING ME!
I ve been reading Stevpav things on timemanagement and motivation and goals to get through college.
Right now, i m trying my best to think of a way to use my degree and a ways to pursue my passion.
My plan is tis:
-My degree is going to be a stepping stone to my goal.
- i will use my degree to get a job to make money to support me in future. Financial Stability
while I will be able to do part time studying music through.
I know u have other passions too JJP, remember it can wait, Be patient with yourself. Time will fly anyway. Keep studying.. I know it's hard coz im in the same situation too.
Remember to tell yourself: " i must graduate! i will have financial security and more options in future coz i dont have to worry about money!" "I will have more freedom and options "
take care and all d best. Keep updating this thread to tell us how u get on.
message me privately if u need more help.
