Here is the short version.

Ok, so over the last year I have been trying to improve myself a lot. Sometimes I believe my goal is to put myself on the same level as everyone else. Which may sound weird, but I always felt below everyone. Mostly because of the friends I kept around me.

The first thing I did was drop my friends. Then I started by losing weight becoming healthy for myself. It would be a lie if I said my selfimage didn't have anything to do with it. My relationships failed because I wasn't comfortable with myself. After spending several months just working on my body, and trying to figure life out I decided to get myself back into the world. While one day taking some paperwork up 50 mi. north for my dad, I stopped by a campus. I decided that I should enroll, I started looking for a job a couple weeks before school. June I started school and work.

So it is now March and I have to say I am pretty happy right now. I have made so many new and great friends, physically I feel great, I run into money problems, but I'll get it figured out.

I believe I only have 1 more demon to slay. I am a fairly average student. I want to be great so bad. I have a hard time with procrastination. I get distracted so easy and I often lose track of time to where I rush to do my homework at the last minute which hurts it quality. It so hard for me to focus on what I do. I schedule my week to everything, and it helps a little but still. I need your help guys?

have you ever tried the herbal way of doing homework (herbal aka weed) id say it may help it may get you that abstract thinkin you may need or it may keep you focused just dont get to addicted to where the only thing u wanna do is smoke weed. ive done homework and weed i must say it helps only if i dont get emotional, sometimes i get very emotional when i do weed and i just cry over the stupidest shit and that definintely wont help with your homework. also what was wrong with your friends? berating u being around them was a downer because they werent being successful and you wanted to be?

did you just tell this guy to smoke weed in order to do better on his homework? what... the...

instead of doing drugs to help your studies, i'd recommend balancing out your priorities. its great that you spend a lot of time working out or socializing, but if it's cutting into your studying time then you have to find a better way to balance them all out. if time isnt you problem and youre just struggling with your assignments and whatnot, you should try going to tutor/study sessions. these kinds of supplemental sections are always available around my campus, and you should definitely take advantage of them if you can! for the math classes here, they have two hour study sessions after each lecture where a past student goes over the material more closely and takes questions / helps on homework. the best part is that you can enter and exit as you wish, so its totally at your own pace. hopefully they have stuff like that at your school too!

Congrats on your training for a start. It's a lot of hard work but it sure pays off.

Perhaps with your classes you need to find something that interests you more? It's like when i was at school, doing English was a compulsory subject. So for that subject, every essay i did and every assignment was always a half arsed job, just got it done and handed it in so it was over. Whereas with Software Design, not only did i do all my homework and assignments and enjoy them, i was interested in it the work so much i actually spent extra time on it perfecting the code and the user interface and documenting every little aspect, and THEN adding extra functions to the programs which weren't even mentioned in the task details.

Therefore, study something interesting.
