Ah we had some kind of learning to study stuff in secondary school but I thought it was unnecessary as I never had issues then.

Now I am in uni and doing year 1 for 3rd year in a row and still have no clue if I will even make it.

You can, but you do have to buckle down, and I know that's a cliche. It took me 6 years to get a 4 year degree. 1st year I partied too much, and I wasn't emotionally ready. 2nd year I went to a smaller school, a 2 year college and it made a huge difference. Smaller classes, more one on one time with the professors. by the time I finished the 2 year school I was finally ready for a 4 year.

I had moments though. I thought about dropping out early on. I remember talking to a mentor saying I'd be fine if I did, and that I had tried. They looked me squarely in the eyes and said "Bullshit. I know you could have tried harder". That hit me hard. I was surrounded by parents who supported me and said I probably did everything, to have someone call me out like that, it really hit me hard.

You can do it - if you really dedicate yourself to it. College is not easy. It's not fun. I have nightmares about finals even now, a decade later. But I don't regret forcing myself through. I wasn't an A student, I was a solid C student, but it was worth it.

I know I don't try hard enough but I seem to have some kind of mental block from studying. I just cannot get started. I would literally rather stare into the damn ceiling.

Might have missed the study subject. I just cannot force myself to study the math. I probably should have switched to studying linfuistics or something 2 years ago.

I will still try my hardest to get my maths done in a couple days but if that fails....
