Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>My usual school day right now is:</p>

<p>7:40 AM - 2:30 PM: go to school, attending classes that are mostly unengaging
2:30 PM - midnight: go home, eat, browse the internet, and do/procrastinate on homework for aforementioned classes. Occasionally play the piano.</p>

<p>Whenever I think about doing something that might be interesting besides browsing the internet/watching anime/playing games, I either go "meh too much effort/too tired" and/or "gah I suck at this, screw it". (The last one is usually applied to math and physics, which I am actually sort of interested in, because I didn't qualify for AIME, despite thinking I was definitely in, or USPhO semifinals.)</p>

<p>How do I start doing meaningful things again?</p>

<p>I’m procrastinating too.
I have an excuse at least, since I’ve been sick, but I would have done it even if I was healthy.
I always procrastinate until the last day, although usually on the last day I’m good about starting early. It happens for every essay, project, or due date. I hate doing it, but I can’t help myself.</p>

<p>I go to the library when I want to get something done. I refuse to leave before I finish. Still here…</p>

<p>I think you posting this thread shows you’re on the right track to doing more meaningful things with your time.</p>

<p>Yeah going to the school homework center is what I do. I’d go to the library, except you can’t eat there.</p>
