welcome to mylot. I am surprised. I am over 42years, and still I am studying .. not just spirituality--that suits my age, like our traditional religious books, but all the more information that I COULD garner and read, I will be reading. I am surprised that you are feeling bored about studying. SORRY .... I would recommend you to first finish off your basic studies, get a minimum qualification, somehow. Then, you can chose the subjects of your interest. With your interest in the subject, you will love to study them deeper and regular. I know, most students are forced into subjects that do not given any spark of life, ... and do not give the thrill of reading, either because of parents' pressure, or because of someother reason. BUT, ... KNOWLEDGE is POWER ... so, friend.. wish you best

Mind rebelling when I am trying to study...man I know that feeling sometimes. That was the point where I knew that forcing studying was not going to work. That was the point that I just put the books away and did something else for a while. Of course, I had my own methods of studying that involved very little to none of actually mindlessly trying to study before an exam. There are just sometimes where no matter what, it is hard to study. Perhaps you have been studying for a bit too long. There are times where stepping away for a couple of hours and returning with a fresh perspective on everything. However believe me, there are times where time is running short but the brain is not cooperating and neither is the body. It can be something that is tough to deal with but it is not uncommon at all.

maybe it's because you don't even like what you're studying...cause when i'm studying something i really love, i don't get tired at all...even when i am, i just rest a little bit, and there i'm back with the fuel to study again,...of course i can't easily advice you to quit your studies and change your course, but the option is possible...you know.... anyway good luck with your exams... just keep in mind that your goal is to finish your studies, so that you'll get motivated to do it.

Force yourself to study? because i think you really need to study for an exam. You can just read or skim through your notes and books when you are not busy..so you will have an answer in your test..And listen weel in class Good luck.

I experienced similar time with yours when i was a student. I think you are just a bit downcast. I used to do some sports, such as playing football, basketball or long-distant running, to drive away the bad emotion and turn back to study. Some in other ways, whatever. Hope this will be of help.

first to consider is your course!!! do you fit your course?? who decided your course??you or your parents?? Most of students feel bored because they are not the one who choose their course and sometimes they did not expected that their course deals such that thing.. if you find your course to boring or difficult i suggest to shift for another course which do you think that you are compatible..

well the thing is in Indonesia you CAN`T choose your course, you only can choose between social or science. And I chose to take science one because of myself, not because anyone else.

i felt like that when i was studying. but now that i am working, i'd rather study. i don't really know what to suggest to you though, sorry. when that happened to me, i just let it pass. if i didn't feel like studying, then i didn't. :)
