Any tips on academically surviving college?

I'm mostly looking for tips on how to get the motivation to go to class. Term starts late August, and I'll be living on campus, but I have a LOT of trouble getting the drive to go to class. I know others have had this issue, and wanted to know if anyone had advice.

I tried college in fall 2025, and it went well, but somewhere along the line I lost motivation, and I couldn't seem to get to classes, and had to withdraw to avoid having my GPA tank. I'm trying again this fall, and I'm worried about going down the same road again.

Alarms dont help much, and I'm going to be getting into therapy the second I get into town before school, and that'll continue on campus. I have a remote, self scheduling job, so I don't have the excuse of calling off class because I "might have work." Other than that, I'm open to any suggestions or tips.

WIBTA if I went to my cousin about her friends behavior?

Platonic relationship but I apparently broke the rules over on aita?

​

So, I (19f) recently moved in with my cousin (21f) and her family. At first, I was told by my cousin, her boyfriend, and her friend (20f) that I mesh well with the friend group, but now her friend treats me like crap.

For a bit of context, I have a seizure disorder, and occasionally after a seizure, I will lose mobility and strength in my legs. One of these times happened, and my cousin's friend decided, of her own free will, to take me to the hospital, even after I said it'd be fine and I've dealt with it before. At the hospital, she proceeded to talk bad about me in text, saying she hopes I'm "not the dramatic type of Libra" and that I "just had" to point out my feet were swollen. My feet do not swell. She also endorsed they were indeed swollen and was concerned that they were blue (I have poor circulation). When I was called she followed me into the room without asking me or me asking her, and continued to talk bad, saying things like "she's fighting with the doctor about this" when I had simply stated I was wanting a second opinion on my seizures because the dx wasn't fitting. She continued to treat me like this and since then has outwardly talked about me as if I'm not in the room, treated me like absolute garbage, and I had to find out from my other cousin (16m) what she was saying to him and his friends (15m and 16m) behind my back.

​

I'm getting really fed up but I don't want to push my cousin and her friend apart. I can't stand that she acts like this and blames it on her past when I have multiple people telling me her childhood was great whereas mine was awful, and I don't treat people like that.

​

I want to bring it up, but WIBTA if I did?

I can't get my ex out of my head. Any tips?

Throwaway account tbh. Its been like 4 days. I can't think of literally anything else. If I'm not intoxicated in some way, I'm thinking about them, and therefore crying. It ended amicably. We are still on speaking terms. Ish. But it came out of nowhere and I can't get us out of my head. We would have hit 6 months this month.
