how do i stop hating geography

okay guys these next few months i need to grind so hard and im so motivated until i look at my subject folders and remember i study geography and then suddenly my motivation to revise my other 2 subjects goes out the window
pls if anyone else experienced this w one of their subjects pls lmk how u overcame the dread and draining motivation

(i do know how to revise for all my subjects i just wanna know how to start liking geography)
I suggest focusing on the subjects you enjoy most and gradually branching out. For example, I was really interested in physical geography, especially topics like tropical rainforests, but I dreaded human geography. This affected my grades, dropping my average from an 8 in physical geography to a 5 in human, bringing it down to a 6 overall.
Eventually, I found a way to make human geography more engaging and improved to a Grade 8 nearly a 9. My advice: focus on what you enjoy, build on that, and explore related areas. Use videos and visuals to make studying more fun. Then, work on connecting what you struggle with to what you like. There are also plenty of articles and resources online to deepen your understanding.
Good luck!
