[1437]

I don't really know where to start.
I am an engineering student, currently in a really bad posititon. Quitting my college because i can't force myself to study.
Over these 2 years i passed easier classes, but failed at harder ones like math and few others.
When i am interested in something i can study it for hours, but when it comes to something like math i can't force myself to grab a book and solve all those problems. I can't even count how many times have i tried that but it always ended in just looking at my notebook and convincing myself that i am studying or going to the internet and just watch some youtube videos or playing some games.
I've tried to force myself to study those harder classes many times, but always failed.
Now i am really sorry that i failed because i know i could do it if i studied but even if i had one more chance, it wouldn't help me.
Anyone got into something like this before?

Hello, 1437, and welcome to Psych Central! You are not alone in your feelings. I have a friend who said she was motivated to study for classes she was interested in, but did poorly in the classes she wasn't interested in.

I know you are required to take such classes as an engineer, and engineering can be a tough major. How strongly do you want it as a profession?

Welcome to PsychCentral, 1437!!!

I know this feeling all to well. My classes related towards my major and in subjects of interest have always come to me easy and the studying is not an issue. And then you get to the classes that you just don't have interest in and it is a nightmare.

Have you tried looking at a community college that might offer the general education classes? Just make sure they are transferable. However these days a lot of times the big schools have articulation programs with the community colleges. Plus by doing this you could save a lot of money.

Best Wishes!
