Dialoguing with myself

[stripforme]

On my walk home from the bus stop I had a brief chat with myself about school and my lack of commitment.

This morning I slept in a half hour and then half-assed tried getting ready so I could leave for class on time. About four times or so I decided "no, I'm not going to go to class" when I realized I still had time to make it if I really rushed.

Oh hun, I can completely relate to you on SO many levels! Also, just reading your entry made me realize how many other of my friends are feeling the same way.("recently I've been getting the impression that it's not the university that's making me dislike my studies, but the fact that I just don't like university"). It also is so frustrating b/c we're all questioning ourselves- "is this what I really want to do for the rest ofmy life (the program we're in)" & b/c we're in 3rd yr, I know my parents are like, "well, you have one more year, just finish it", but I find myself struggling so hard to even want to go to school.
You sound like a really bright student & I'm definitely sure YOU aren't the problem. Did you graduate in gr.12 or OAC? B/c I graduated in gr.12 (with the new curriculm & even my parents agree they did not make a smooth transition for us ATALL. I felt so unsure & unprepared for postsecondary, at least I do this year.
Anyways, I apologize for not having any advice, but that I know how it feel to be so unmotivated about school, & it really is a difficult spot. You know I have been going to my advisor for help & I really felt they have helped me, but not sure if you feel talking to them would be beenficial to you. Good luck, hun!

I'm an OAC graduate. Originally my dad was trying to pressure me into graduating high school in 4 years, but I knew I would have flunked out by now.
I've talking to my bf about this and friends too, and it seems my feelings about university aren't unique and that a lot of people feel this way. It's just so stressful knowing that I AM in 3rd year and I have nothing to do pursue when I'm finished my fourth year.
Anyway, best of luck to the both of us, eh? I hope everything works out in the end!
