I'm failing

@fizzyy

It's nice that you have a passion for band. That seems like it could be a great source of motivation. I'm sorry your grades have plummeted though. As a student myself, it can be very discouraging to feel your academic performance slipping. What do you think caused your grades to slip this semester?💜

Hey there, I see you may feel burnt out, I don't blame you, I really relate, one thing I found helpful is giving myself a break! You may have studied for 45 mins and rested for 15 in a study interval, now you may need to reverse it. It's not the best but you keep up with your self care and just give study a greeting so that u don't get bored. Cheers and love.let me know what u think.

@fizzyy I can really relate to this, I was doing so good in school and sports in the first half of school, but now that the new year has started i am failing almost all my classes and my sports coaches almost make me cry bc of how horrible I am at everything almost every practice

I also loved band in school. It can be tough to navigate what motivates a person internally versus the external pressures.

@Hapra Band is the only thing im good at in school

@fizzyy

That's hard to deal with, especially when you're grades was amazing at the first half of school. This does happen quite often though, and I relate to this situation. Does it just feel like you can't do it anymore, or is there a different factor that caused you to feel so unmotivated?

@fizzyy

Hi, I think you can try to set a small goal for yourself and start with a learning goal that is easily achievable. Once you hit this goal, you can then set some longer-term goals. As you accomplish more and more goals, I think your motivation will also increase.

Hi there. I'm sorry you're struggling. I had a similar experience my first few semesters at college, even failing a class in my major. I didn't reach out for support at the university and now I wish I had. Is there anyone there who can help you sort through and/or maybe help you create a plan to work toward your goals in steps? Wishing you all the best! I know how difficult it can be.
