sarafin86 is on a distinguished road
Default Hi I'm lost

I'm 22 on my 4th year of college and I've been failing for year now. I have all of my motivation to do work play live from some form of my purpose. It is some for of " I want to learn and understand all that i can to help others understand the world around them." Some thing like what teachers, reporters and TLC channel Narrators do. But i hit a block i Don't want to learn any more from some one else. It's like some thing just feels wrong when i do school work or go to class. Not like i don't want to be there but that it is against my core self to be there. Could any one offer advise?

Hey sarafin86,
Welcome to the forum. well there could be many suggestions. maybe you could go through Steve's blog archive and read some posts/ listen to podcasts which apply to your current situation. It is my personal experience that doing this helps me get moving whenever I am stuck in a situation.
Good luck.

Sarafin,

What happened between you being OK with your study and your current situation? What is different now than before?

Do you think your feelings about not doing well are affecting they way you feel about the course. If you were getting good grades would you want to be there?

If that's the case, then perhaps you need some extra tuition to get you back up to speed and maybe some exam coping techniques and essay writing help to help you get the good marks again and help you start enjoying your course again.


If good grades wouldn't make a difference, then don't jump ship before you have decided what it is you really want to do and putting a plan into place. A vague sense of 'helping people' won't be enough. You'll just drift for a while which will just create more worry for you. Be definite. Decide where you want to go and what you need to do to get there.


I'm picking up on your worry from your post, so think you would do well to talk it over with someone from your college, either a tutor or careers advisor or other pastoral care who will be able to discuss with you what some options are and help you get a plan together.

Hope that helps
