Feeling like don't want to study anymore

Sometimes I go through this. I start the quarter with full determination. I study hard, but then some questions on the exams seem so twisted that I give up. Last quarter I was doing totally great. However, at the last moment my professor decided to give us online final exam. I was doing it nicely when suddenly my internet started acting up. In the end I got F on it. This brought down my grade A to C. Another one was accounting information technology class. The questions were all accounting related. I flunked the first one because most of what my professor gave us were not from the book and most of them had too many meanings in many different professional fields. However, I didn't give in. I studied very hard for the final exam and ended up with a B+. Yet I got a C as a the main grade. Sometimes I feel it is the fault of the professors and not ours. We are ready to work hard, but they must also cooperate with us.

Sometimes we have to learn, and i am to have a certain degreee of prssure.So we will have a sense a urgency, and we will make a plan for our study,i think it does good to us.

I feel for you, studying is really hard especially when you think you deserve a high grade for your best efforts but still you gain just an average grade.. Maybe the advice I can give you is to relate your study to personal experiences.. Although I know grades are still important, for me it's just numbers.. it won't tell who you really are.. however it should not be our ticket to tardiness.. it's still important if we relate our studies to real life situations such as the question "how can our study contribute to employment" and things like that ;) And for teachers alike I think it would be good if they also put an extra grade to hardworking students because in the end HARDWORK is still important than INTELLIGENCE. :) Just an opinion :) I hope it helped. Take care and God bless you on your studies..

I actually found that I get better value out of the class when I pay attention to the lecture and take notes. In a way, I am studying a little bit at a time as the class happens. So, I don't have to beat my brain trying to cram anything. When I try and study leading up to the test officially, it tends to lead to less than spectacular results. Still passing but a bit disappointing on my part. So I think the method that I mentioned above works better, at least for me.

I also felt what you felt. Sometimes we feel lazy about our studies, may be because were bored of doing some school works and we must need a break. A break is needed when you are tired of doing things over and over again. Studying means a lot of paper works, assignments, quizzes and things that need to studied and memorized. I think we miss the outside world and having a break means making your self refresh again.

really my friend... my thoughts are haunting me like anything...i dont want o study any more. but remember .............. the value of something is known,only we have lost it. after ur studies only,u came to know the importance.... so dont get bored up........... its a part of life

Maybe you aren't studying correctly. There are books that you can get which tell you how to have good study habits. There is definitely a technique to improving your study habits. You must do it consistently to get the best results and you should not overstudy at one time. I would encourage you to not give up. Studying most definitely pays off.

yaa sometimes i have got this feeling but by not studying for long time i feel bored and ultimately starts studying........

I STILL feel what you feel. I'm a graduating senior. It's as if my professors are putting the added pressure on me on purpose. My father keeps reminding me that the finish line is only a fews away and that I should keep running long enough just so I can cross it.

I think almost all student feels the same. I never study but I get passing grade but when I study it is still the same so why study?

well you have to change your goal. If your original goal is to pass then change it not to pass but to pass by a higher grade. What I mean is if a C is good aim for an A to be better.

Hi Hubfee! I understand how you feel. However, you should not give up. You should not feel bad about it. Sometimes all we need is a break. If you don't feel like studying don't force yourself to do so. Why? Because if you really don't feel like doing it no matter how hard you force your self to concentrate and focus it will not work. My advise to you is to make your studying habit fun and interesting. Here is what I usually do when I study when I was still in school. While reading I create a short exam for my self. It could be multiple choice, matching type, fill in the blanks, etc. After that, I would answer the exam I created and then I would go over the book again checking my answers. It also helps to study with a friend. I used to study with my best friend. We would go over the subject and then after reading we will ask questions to each other. :)

If you work hard with extra effort but no improvement in results then instead of putting extra hour, have an effective study approach. It means study effectively with analysis and better understanding. In classes instead of only listening the lecture, you ask questions and clarify your doubt instantly. This will make your study very interesting. Have discussions over a difficult topic among your friends. Practise selected questions for exams. So whatever time you spend on studies,do with full concentration. Then success will be at your feet. Aboveall , if you practise meditation atleast for 30 minutes twice a day, it will elevate your concentration, will power and make you active and confident. Then you will definitely be one step ahead among your friends.

do you ever read the book "the secret"?? it's your mind that makes you like this no matter how hard you try if you don't put your mind into this... you will just stay the same. try to read books about "mind mapping". it's (according to me) the best way to learn something faster and permanent. the method is very easy and the result is wonderful. people all over the world are using this method now. Its effective. Try it

I have been in your position. I agree, there are times no matter how hard you work thre is still times that you still get an average mark. It so hard to study I admit, there are times your study technique didn't work, and there are times it worked. if you can feel you can't do it, then don't do it. Ask a help from a friend. Don't study that serious , you have to take a break from it to avoid stress.AFter a job well done and you achieve your passing mark, reward yourself. Treat yourself . If there are times you don't want to study , take a break, do your thing that can remove your stress and if you are ready be back and study.

this feeling definitely comes at least once when we're studying. i too have felt this way a number of times as well. there was once when i was 15, i was taking on a subject where i kept failing. i always used to get average grades, not that high but not that low either. so when i got a fail grade, and that too for one and a half years, you can understand how i felt then. it was already embarassing to fail for so long without any improvement. i felt like giving up that subject but there was only 6 months left till my final year. so i thought it a waste and decided to not aim high. so long as i could just pass, or at least, make my grades a little better than before, i'd be fine. and thus, my target was set. my aim for the exam was to get a passing grade if possible. borderline pass would be enough to satisfy me. i started going for tutoring lessons privately with a friend. during the tuition 'tests', i sometimes did well which really boosted up my morale and confidence and made me want to try out more questions. when i got them correct, i felt satisfied and felt as if i was becoming better. when my results came out, i passed but it wasn't a borderline pass. it was actually an a grade. at that moment, i felt really glad that i didn't up then. that's why, don't be depressed that you are not doing well despite your efforts. the results for all your hard work, will show itself one day. if it's not sooner, then it'll be later. have an aim, a target. that will help a lot. well it seems i'm rambling a little too much. best of luck.

Hi Hubfee Just few advise for you , study does'nt mean you have to study 24 hour , you have to study SMART ! You got what i mean ? Use your mind to study , not just sit and there and read and keep force yourself to rememeber it You have to understand it , not just remember Just my 2 cent

School and studying can take it's toll on you. Hang in there and work hard :)

I feel like that the whole time. But it's the best feeling when you study hard and you pass an exam, I'm really happy when that happens. So that makes it worth while. I often ask myself when am I possibly going to need this in my life, when I'm studying something, but I have to master the material no matter what.
