Anyone else here slowly screwing up their life by being lazy and a procrastinator?

Ok Ive got no real reason for posting this, other then the fact that Im a screw up and need a good flaming. My whole life Ive taken school very lightly, and never tried hard. Despite my low GPA in highschool I knew I was fairly intelligent. My ACT score (although not a true indicator of my intelligence) showed that I knew more than what my grades showed. Now Im in college and just got through with my second semester, and omg Im an idiot. I could be getting all A's and B's but instead of getting C's and there may have been one class I didn't even pass.


I need a good ass whooping to get back on track. Ive gotta stop being such a lazy b!tch and procrastinator NOW or I will screw up my future. So from now on, no more lazy sh!t. Im going to study when I should, and actually do my work, whose with me?!?!?!?


Flames are more then welcome, and actually encouraged!
 
I was a lazy fvck in school. I graduated and my GPA is too low to get a decent job. Now i'm stuck in this job...and i have no motivation to do what i always wanted to do. stuck in a rut kind of thing. You'll end up like me. I'm 26 and i hate my life, but too lazy and unmotivated to do anything about it. *shrug*

Edit: When i say school i mean college. I was an honors student in high school...it was too damn easy and didn't prepare me for college.
 
dude... telling yourself to stop procrastinating isn't going to cut it! you will keep telling yourself to stop ---> leads to more procrastination.

One thing I would recommend is more physical exercise. With higher serentonin levels, you WILL be more active in everything!
 
yeah i hear ya on that man, i just wasted my life away for 1 whole semester, so i know i need to go to school for one more year. I learned my lesson, I can;t afford to goof off now

some have bad luck come their way, others bring it on them selves

procrastinate comes from the latin "pro" meaning for, and "cras" meaning tomorrow... When you procrastinate you do it tomorrow (or later... or never)

I was in the same boat, after my second year at school I got placed on academic probation. Ended up at a community college for a year, then a year completly off. Im trying to scrape up whatever money I can to get back in because I finally feel like I am ready to put some effort in to school. All my old friends graduated this year.
 
I actually exercise alot. Hmm, maybe if I change something in my diet? Less junk food, and better more healthy food it would have some sort of an effect on me?
 
you could have been studying in the 14 minutes between your first post and your last. don't deny you were on ATOT all that time 😉
 
I used to be (well still am) a procrastinator freshman and sophmore year, and just got by fine... but the industry i want to be in is one where you can't be average... you really need to bust your ass to be the best if you want all that it has to offer.

Loving what you do really helps to. This school year (junior) i've busted my ass more than i have prolly in all of my life put together. Its starting to pay off too, from people complimenting my work.
 
I started college in 1988 at age 16 because I skipped a year when I moved from a private school to 7th grade public school. I scored in the 95th percentile on my SAT's, which is the only reason I got into a decent university since I had been a lazy bum in my Junior and Senior years in HS.
My first term in college I was put on academic probation. Me second term, I screwed up again and was kicked out. I proceeded to spend the next 9 years working crappy minimum wage jobs and going to community college part-time, off and on. Then I finally got back into a university and ended up getting a BS in General Science because it was the easiest degree to get and didn't require a substantial amount of effort. I ended up with a 2.2 gpa and couldn't find a job doing anything that remotely interested me. Finally I decided it was time to actually put in the work it would take to get a real degree in something I could make a living at. So I spent 1999-2001 working my ass off to get a second BS degree in Computer Science. This time I had a 3.7 gpa and got a good job making 3 times more money than I had ever made before. I was 29 when i finally got my first real job and stopped living in poverty. Things have been great since then.

The biggest regret I have in my life now that I'm 32 with a wife and 4 kids is that I didn't just go through 4 years of college directly after high school and start my career at the age of 21 or 22. As well as I'm doing now, I can't help but get depressed when I think of how much better my life could have been if I had started my career 10 years ago instead of 3 years ago.

You have the advantage of not yet being at the point where all you can do is look back with regrets and have no way of changing the past.

Think of it this way, time is going to pass whether you want it to or not. The only question is whether you will still be sitting around being poor and doing nothing 4 years from now or whether you will have a good paying job that allows you the freedom to do the things you want to do and have fun.

Damn that sounds real familiar. 😱
 
I kicked ass in high school (4.0 GPA, top of my class, did well on both SAT and ACT), got a full ride to the Univ of Washington; basically my grades steadily declined my first two years (started out at a 3.97, Spring 2003 was a 2.3). Took a few less classes that summer, fell in love with accounting, and I've had a 3.7 avg each quarter since. Partly because I found a concrete goal, partly because I just got my ass in gear. There's a switch that gets clicked your third year or so in college, it helps you stop wasting time and it helps you focus. Very strange, actually.

I didn't have that switch apparently.
 
I have terrible study habits. MY gpa is at the 3.1 level but I do work 40 hours. Well I guess a B average isn't so bad.
 
Man, I am scared to death of college. I dont do anything in HS now because I have a pretty decent GPA (3.8 unweighted I think) without putting alot of effort in it. I am afraid that college is going to be a big slap in the face.

Why even bother going to school if you are just going to be a lazy fvck???

I was lazy in school and did the bare minimum to get by. I did make sure in every class I knew the basics though. I'm doing fine for myself.
