Here are some pointers that you can follow:
1. Ive seen quite a lot of kids who have performed poorly in school(some even kicked out) but they spent that year productively working in an office/factory etc and they made some money. Some had debts like you do and this led them to possess more responsibility. But nevertheless,once they do get back into school they go back to their old ways and they eventually end up performing worse than ever. Heres what you should do. I notice that you state that you get bored easily and keep switching hobbies,gym routines,study patterns etc. This is something that you have to stop consciously by yourself. Sure it might be boring after a week or so..but hey nobody makes a million dollars in a week. You will have to stick by your plan and see it through. Honestly when you do that it helps your confidence levels and im pretty sure you will get that scholarship that you seek.
2. You said that you became lonely. Go make some friends..remember they wont come and talk to you as most people in their second year already have a clique of their own. So technically your'e intruding but just use small talk,introduce yourself,ask them what they think bout the course and dont be a creepy nagging character following em around n stuff. If you do play any sports that would be a great way to make some friends. Try to spot out the class topper..most of them dont have any friends...even if they do its a real small number..( i should know..im in engineering myself). In fact being friends with a class topper ensures that your on top of your game in academics and at the same time fills the void of loneliness thats affecting you so much.
3. For the love of god, when things dont go the way theyre planned/ or when things get boring DONT GO TO SLEEP. I had this habit and trust me it starts affecting your sleep cycle and the last thing you want is to be yawning in class right in front of your prof and not pay any attention .
Listen up, im placed on RTW(Required to withdraw) and my appeals meeting is in july.My fate is going to be decided soon. Thank your stars that your not in such a bad position as i am. If i can keep a sane head and reply to your post im pretty sure you can get along with your daily activities and do well in school at the same time.
keep those grades coming and dont quit what you start till you reach the end.
good luck and god bless,

Thank you for the advice.

I know what it takes, it sometimes just feels like pulling teeth motivating myself to do anything for any period of time. I did enjoy school, though. I loved writing papers and taking tests (lame, right?). I really want to succeed this time. I can't afford to waste another semester and I intend to make it work this time. I hope you figure your situation out, I know exactly how disappointing and stressful it is to be in that predicament. I'm starting to realize that, yes, I made mistakes and set myself back a lot but I still have time to change the course of things if I get my **** together and work for it. Best of luck and thanks for the response. I appreciate it more than you know!
