I'm losing my passion to finish school. Please put in some suggestions?
I'm planning to transfer to this university nearby called CSUN next semester. I'm a pretty good student with 3.5+ gpa. But I also want to transfer to UCLA but I can only do so next fall (2009). My plan is to transfer to CSUN and graduate with BA by Spring 2010. I declare my major as geography because I like traveling and discovering new things. I also plan to become a teacher one day for middle school-high school. But I'm running into big major problem here. I lose my passion to continue schooling. Not totally all passion but passion to do well and to maintain my gpa as the way it is. Can someone help me by providing any suggestions? Thank you.
I do worry about the money but that just doesn't really help; however, thank you for responding anyway. Please be more convincing.
Thank you Captainkwa. I may just need a time off for couple months. Study group doesn't really help when you go to community college. Everyone just kinda like (at least those I know) come and go attitude.
Thanks phantom.. and tony.. I guess I just kinda in the zone of boresome. My reason to quit schooling is nothing but plainly boredom and laziness. I mean, everyone kinda get burned out after 10 weeks of school. The semester system is just too long for me.

You are so not alone.. I returned to college at the age of 31 and trust me I feel ya on the loss of passion. I have a 3.89 GPA and could really care less at the moment. However, I have children and putting my head down and pushing thru all of the feelings I have right now is the only option. My children are the main reason I try as hard as I do to keep my grades up and trust me it's not easy some day's I don't want to do anything because I feel I have nothing left to give but I always find a way to put some effor into my schooling. Take a long look at what your stresses are right now, why have you lost interest, I know why I lose interest, simply because raising 2 kid's keeping up with a home and having school on top of it all it hard, and I mean hard. Think of it this way "life is only what you make it." If you let the little things get to and they eventually turn into a mountain you start to think it's impossible. Nothing is impossible as long as you believe in yourself and your abilities.
I think you have what it takes to finish school and to find your passion again, just ask yourself, what made you start this in the first place? I'm sure your passion is there waiting for you to rediscover it again.
On another note and I tell this to my classmates all the time.. I believe in you and you should believe in you, I believe in you because you made a conscientious choice to continue your education and you believe you can make a difference in the future in some child's life, now make the choice to change a life, to shape a young mind and push on, you can do this all you need to do is believe that you will make a difference.

i'm totally the same at the minute, just so over it.
i'm going to take a 6 month break, work, travel and clear my head. i love to learn but it's the monotony of endless assignments and routine that's boring me to death. so i'm hoping by only taking a short time off and spending some time away i will miss uni and look forward to going back.
also i'm half way through my degree so i'm pretty sure even if i didn't want to i could force myself to go back.
otherwise i recommend getting a study group together, at least then studying is more social and fun, plus you'll be surrounded by people who are passionate about the course and hopefully that will make you feel it again.
good luck, i hope you find what you're looking for.

I'm in my seventh year of community college, I've only completed 30% of the required coursework for my AA degree in Liberal Arts, and I have a 2.6 GPA. It sucks, and I too have lost a little interest in Film. I still want to go for a BA in Film though.
Just think about the future. Don't give up, or else you won't achieve your dream.

I labored rotating shifts (7 a.M. - 7 p.M., 7 p.M. -7 a.M.) 20 years in the past and that i'm however having important situation with my sleep types. What helped me is obviously no naps (it is tough, i understand, besides the undeniable fact that purely for awhile) and past-time interior the afternoons.

Is your room too easy? try putting up something to dam the easy out of your window (I used to apply recycled cardboard boxes taped to my window, yet my room grew to become into on the returned of the residence so my mom did no longer freak too much.) attempt sitting on your room with the lighting fixtures dimmed for an hour or extra in the previous than mattress. i do no longer think there could be some ingredient medically fallacious, by using actual undeniable fact which you would be getting the quantity of sleep a teenager desires, once you eventually do sleep. Do you will have a intent to upward thrust up interior the morning? That helps alot, too. you're regularly on summer time smash now, so is it so risky to sleep weird and wonderful hours? in direction of college installation, you are going to would desire to interchange, whether. As you are able to tell, i've got made a technological awareness out of my sleep issues. frequently, stressful approximately now no longer slumbering makes you now stay wide awake! Is it any ask your self...

Think about all the money you have put in already, think about the money you will lose if you don't continue your education, and think about the economy, and how expensive things are going.
