<p>So this is my first year of college and it's consider to be one of the best nursing colleges in New York. I'm gunning to be a Physical Therapist which is something I really absolutely want to do but as of like last week, I have no more motivation what so ever to really want to learn anymore. I don't find anything fun at all especially during the lectures. I'm having a ridiculously hard time in my anatomy and physiology class as in, I'm not retaining anything at all. I've tried recording the class to getting a cliffnotes review book for the class and I just can't seem to get myself to be motivated in learning any of the terms. I know they're important and all but every time I do try to memorize them (like creating stupid words or rhymes) I just cant pull through at all. Like I am really ready to just shoot myself trying to find a way to learn all this. I definitely don't want to drop out and as of right now, I'm probably just not even going to take the 2nd semester of the class and maybe next year retake the class all over again. I love learning, like I absolutely love learning new things, but when it comes to stuff like this its just a big fat NO. I'm good with chemistry (even though i just got a 62 on my past test but that's my fault, I got too cocky) and I'm really good at calc and english. It's just the stupid biology that's making me want to drop out. I don't want to do, anyone care to give me advice cuz i'm in desperate need of one.</p>
<p>I think it sounds like you are either burned out or taking too many classes this semester. Maybe next semester you can take it easy and see if you feel a surge of energy to push through college? Perhaps another solution would be to get a tutor for that class or to start a study group.</p>
<p>I’ve already tried study groups (several of them) and tutors, that didn’t work. My final solution was to just withdraw from the class while I still could without it affecting anything. I told myself I would rather just drop the class and not risk losing my scholarship and take it over the summer at the community college. It’s not that I was burned out or anything like that it was just THAT class. Next sem I plan on adding another class to my schedule, most likely a computer lit class to make up for the lost credit.</p>
<p>Are you able to take the course during a winter or summer semester? If you could just take the course by itself, with no other courses to worry about, it might be better for you. It sounds like you need to put more time and effort into this course than you are used to, and you may not have enough time available to you with all of your other courses. </p>
<p>I would only drop the class if you are failing, although I know some nursing programs skew grades and B’s and C’s can be considered failing, so only you will know if it’s time to withdraw and try again later.</p>
