Motivation Fail

<p>I'm in my fourth year of college (and have around another year to go). Was a music major for three years and recently switched to something called Family Youth and Community Sciences at the University of Florida. For many years I thought I'd become a musician but started losing my passion for that once I hit high school. By the time college came around I just didn't know what else to pick. Anyway, I finally switched to the other major recently only because I was miserable as a music major (not because I have any passion or career aspiration with THIS major either!) and it was literally the only other major I could switch to. Often times I walk around campus feeling like the undead, completely passionless, unmotivated. I often feel depressed just because I don't have any drive at all to do well in my current situation anymore. I try to tell myself that I need to graduate, need to study, get good grades in these classes... But my Statistics book is sitting at my left hand side as I type this post. I opened it for a bit today and could not have had less motivation to absorb the material. Even as I read the text, my mind was somewhere else, and I just couldn't get myself to focus (or want to focus). </p>

<p>I dread studying and going to class like it's torture and it's affecting everything in my life. It sort of sucks walking around like a passionless being. I'm to the point where I'd almost rather just fail and then try to do something else. Have not studied for weeks because of whatever this is that I'm experiencing/doing to myself, so catching up on the material seems almost impossible. Sometimes I wonder if this means I'm just unhappy in this situation, or if I really am depressed (clinically). I might talk to a counselor to see if I can figure that out. In the meantime, I have no clue where my life is going.</p>

<p>Has anyone else ever felt like this. What did you do?</p>

<p>Go see a counselor.</p>

<p>Go take some time off, get your head straight. Sit down and really think about what you want to do. Remember that most jobs only want you to have a college degree of some sort.</p>
