I_cant_ADD,
Yes, please keep us posted on how things are going for you. As you can already see you are not alone in this and I’ve felt very much the same with college at times. I have to get ready for work but here are a few things that helped me.
• Yes see a counselor. My college had them on site and didi have programs set up. So check at the student center
• Do keep notes on what is or not working for you. But do it for a while without judgment. I know hard. But think of it like an experiment.
Use the notes to track optimum times for study, when you need down time, when to avoid certain tasks because you brain is just not at it’s optimum levels. Your dad has already helped you with organization so this will just further help you to find better ways to implement what you already know into your new college life.
• Math. I’m horrible at it but needed some for my degree. I scored up the 90th percentile for language arts etc. but remedial level in math. Check out postings for tutors. Some students volunteer or you may be able to find a student who will do it for a low cost. Also the same for writing. If I didn’t have a math tutor I would have failed. I lucked out and another student who was on a work study with me helped me out. Our job was to watch computer labs so he was there anyway and it killed the time.
• Work study. If you need some extra cash. I don’t know what your college offers. But at mine I got a work study job at the college in the graphics lab. I just had to make sure students signed in and didn’t steal anything. I could also sit and do my homework. Which was great because I had to be there and it focused my minds to be productive and I got paid. Helped my self esteem. Plus since it took me longer to do my work I would keep the lab open. Which the other students appreciated as well. I got to know my classmates, make new friends and in the end wound up helping lots of students who were having just as hard of a time. That helped my self esteem a ton! When I started Graphic Design I didn’t even know how to use a computer. Just dated my self. LOL
But hang in there, There is lots of good advice posted. And hey you just might come up with something that will help the rest of us out!
We all in this together. Keep up the good work!
