I’m in my first year of college as a non traditional student and have been getting great grades up until the last week (I’m 2 weeks away from summer break). I had low expectations for myself for my first year of college because in high school I did very badly, but I wanted to try my best.
I surprised myself by getting a 3.5 GPA for mid terms, but ever since last week I’m struggling to get any of my work done. I am learning a foreign language that I’ve had to fight tooth and nail to learn (languages are hard for me), and now I can’t even do the most basic of homework for the class. I sit down and try to get myself to do it, but even writing a few sentences feels like trying to wrangle a bull. I can feel my body and mind fighting to get away from the homework, as silly as that sounds. Why am i suddenly like this, is there a word for what I’m experiencing?
