a 3.0 isn't something to be proud of? 0_0, i mean I've had a 3.8 avg's doing what you were doing...
idk have some motivation. go find a girl you like, or like go exercise and try to get ripped. unless you don't have the motivation to look good or fall in love, then idk. And obviously you were not the level of apathetic that I am. I made a 100 on all my tests but my homework is 15-30% in all my classes. Im sure you can do the math. Maybe you got luck and homework counted as 0%??? Or maybe just maybe... he's in college where the subject matter is just a bit more intense than it was in hs?
Im in college lol. College is so easy it makes me cry. Aside from a biology for majors class, All my calculus, physics, english, history, ect. classes have been downright a shame. Although i do enjoy Calculus and physics and our Math department is one of the best.)
I just hate doing homework. Especially in classes where I can listen then take tests with an hour or two of studying + listening hard in class.

just don't let others tell you what you should care about

You can transfer to more difficult colleges. Or tell the professor it's too easy.

i don't understand apathy.
what so many of you are going through is completely alien to me.
|
haha "professor to be honest your class is boring and easy. Can you make it harder?"
I would love to see the look of rage come over the face of everyone in the class.

My bad, thought I read your birth year as being 1994 or something in your profile. Be grateful of your innate ability and strive to be the best that you can, very few have it you know? Then again if that were really the case you wouldn't be posting in this thread (with a subtle air of bragging) in this thread then would you?

Actually a lot of professors like feedback. Obviously their material is easy to them, so they have to guess whether or not their students get it. If half the class are bebop_beserkers and get everything easily and do well and half the class is deathspanks and get it but don't feel like doing homework, maybe they think the deathspanks are struggling.
Besides, they won't listen to one student at the exclusion of everyone else.

hehe I got an A on my first test and a D on my second. I wouldn't be suprised if he thought I was struggling.

For the past 4 years of my life I've become extremely lazy. I mean I'm smart as hell and manage a 3.0 +gpa without doing minimal homework and no studying at all but it's beginning to become a problem. I'm surprised nobody's given you shit yet. The first step to recovery is to understand why you shouldn't have said that (the part in the bold specifically).
I see it very often, and people who say that are in a position where they would be better off being literally dumb but having a decent attitude. Being apathetic isn't your biggest problem right now.

Was this thread an attempt to show how cool you are by having a 3.0 without studying? Absolutely.

I had the same problem in undergrad. It's a lack of motivation, really. You just need to stimulate yourself with things that are fun and open-ended, without goals that represent 'low-hanging fruit.'
I picked up hobbies...
Magic (the gathering)
Chess
Climbing
A Capella
Went back for my PhD in a subject I didn't know (yes, graduate research is a hobby. I don't have deadlines and it's totally open-ended)
As long as I can juggle these I feel pretty stimulated.

i shouldn't have said it because it makes me look like a douche, it makes me look like I have a high self esteem. It makes me look insecure, someone who would feed their own ego. You could also argue if you want that I'm not smart because I don't try as hard as I can . Yea I have a shitty attitude can you tell me how to fix it?

If you want to become more mature, you will. But you have to really want it. Not really something we can help you with.

I agree with this.

Lol. I learned a long time ago that apathy is ok....I really do want apathy in my life. Aside from a few passions, I enjoy my apathy just fine.
Having said that I experience the ol' I want to be great kinda bullshit sometimes too. I have recently found a few things in my life that I use my apathy to fuel(apathy gives me the time to do the things I enjoy.). You have to enjoy doing some things. The other things around you treat as you wish. However if you love doing some things, allow passion to flow through you into your work. Before you know it, you will be damn good at something or another and enjoy doing it. At least that's what i hope.
Fully agree.

no, the thing is growing up all that was expected from me was a B or better. I know I can easily 4.0 but tbh I just don't see the point in it. Also I don't really have a lot of homework and when I have to turn in math hw I just write down the problems and if I can't solve it in less then 30 seconds I just make up some bs and turn it in. I get full credit for it so I don't really care.
LOL
keep telling yourself that.

I tried to care about your problem but i just couldn't. meh.

Interesting.
What is the point of this blog again? I don't see how someone posting in this blog can make you any less apathetic than you actually doing it on your own. Are you seeking some sort of miracle cure here?
You sure are smart.

just opinions and advice douchebag.
