Finals is just a few days from today and I haven’t been able to even touch a single book. I want to study, i want to get out of my bed and stop feeling useless but I just cant. My sleep schedule’s messed up and I cant focus in class.
I missed two days worth of lecture because I was sick, and that caused me to be so clueless when everyone else discusses questions and papers when I don’t even get the material.
It’s been a whole year and I do the same mistake every time. Procrastinate, get frustrated, then depressed because my grades aren’t good enough.
back in the day, i was a serial procrastinator too so i totally get how you’re feeling. it’s like this cycle… you put it off, get stressed and then feel even worse. what helped me was starting super small like just committing to 10 minutes of studying. once i got started, it was easier to keep going. also, maybe try focusing on the key topics you’re most clueless about—prioritizing can help when time’s tight. don’t be too hard on yourself, though. finals are tough but you’ve got time to turn it around. you got this!

i feel u. finals stress hits different!!
don’t be hard on yourself, be kind. i read that often times procrastination comes from fear - fear of not being good enough or smtg of that sort…
you were sick so it’s understandable that you feel a bit left behind but it’s ok!
you still have time. take easy easy, maybe just start with like one topic or even one page OR just tell yourself let’s do 5 minutes of whatever subject it is.
baby steps are still steps. it’s not abt being perfect, just making some progress. you got this fr.
good luck!!!
