Hi everyone, some advice is much needed
I’m a first year history student at a top uni and I have my exams in under 3 weeks, I have zero motivation and cannot force myself to revise.
This has made me realise how I don’t enjoy history and perhaps I’m on the wrong degree, the readings don’t interest me and I’ve lost all drive and motivation that I had at a level.
I’m not doing very well with essays either, been getting 60-63 (low 2:1) and feel like I’m not going to pass exams at this point. I feel so stupid compared to everyone else who just seems to “get it”
I don’t think switching degrees will help because I’m not passionate about anything, neither do I want to drop out because I have no idea what I want to do. I’ve always been told that uni is the only option by my family and school as I’ve always been a high achiever (i got A*A*A* at a level) I seriously regret not considering a gap year or other options
I feel so lost right and don’t know what to do, it’s making me very unhappy. Perhaps it’s just the exams that are causing this and I should just push through for 2 more years, but i don’t know if next year will get any better.
What can I do? Any advice is much appreciated
