I’m a sophomore and this semester I have been feeling very unmotivated. I have always gotten good grades before, during both semesters my freshman year (I think I took about 5 classes each) I ended up making all As and 1 B. During the fall of this year I was super motivated and made straight As. I still have good grades this term but I’m not very motiativated and I’m just taking it day by day until summer break. I’m still involved with my clubs in school and I’m on a team this semester but even that isn’t helping. I think it’s the accumulation of a lot of things this semester that’s making me feel this way. During Fall semester I was doing great, I was making good grades and I was enjoying the classes I was taking. I was very involved with my clubs and I was getting to know more people. I spent time going on trips with my best friends, I was also seeing a guy I really liked. But by winter break rolled around everything changed. One of my best friends moved away to New York and it was on really short notice and stuff ended up not working out with the guy I liked. When I was registering for my classes for spring it ended up I was going to be taking pretty much all the classes that I was least looking forward to for my major. That has been the case because I hate all the classes in taking right now, they’re either frustrating with a lot of busy work or poorly organized. Usually I have a least one class I’m interested in or I can find something to be interested about in class but that has not happened. I’m honestly just counting the days until break so I can move back to my home town and work over the summer. I applied for an internship back home that will count as a work requirement for my major and I hope and I get it and it really is the only other thing I’m loo
You are grieving and adjusting to the changes in relationships (friend moving, boyfriend break up) and you don’t enjoy the classes you are taking. These factors are going to affect your motivation and mood. It’s okay, the feelings will likely pass. Just continue to do the best you can and get through the term. Humans go up and down in mood and motivation depending on what is happening around them, this is normal. Sad patches pass, and so do happy ones. It is life.
