Used to be a really good student but in KGs only then some bad things happened and I became a f*** up, I had really bad grades in 9th and 10th grade because I never take studies seriously, I have spent a lot of time on the internet and I learned a lot, I know people from many countries and I made a friend who i'm pretty close to, and with time I started realising how bad the situation of this country is, I started hating everything, I hated going out interacting with people even with my relatives and friends, I don't talk much and I rarely go out except for hanging out with my friends which is also something I rarely do, I hated my school to death, because of that school I'll be traumatized for life and I so effin hate my college, i started skipping it, I want to travel and I love Europe, I want to move and spend my life in peace there learning new things, I have interest in many things and I don't like the idea of sticking to a single profession, I have realised that If It keeps going like this then i'll never be able to achieve my goals so I want to do good in my college exams but even the thought of attending the class and studying depresses me, how do I start focusing on my studies? how do I keep myself motivated, if there's anyone who's on the same boat as me or a similar one then I'd love to talk, and anyone who can help me with my studies, I'd be grateful for even small tips.

tl:dr I f****d up in my 9th and 10th and I want to do good in college, need help with studying.

get out of your kiddy dreamland. This is Pak and you are alone. No one's gonna help or come asking if you are ok. You wanna do something you do it yourself. You want to get motivated, you have a fair enough reason to be motivated. You hate this country, you wanna go to Europe and you know what it takes to go to Europe then study like hell get good grades (I don't know how) and say adios to this shitland :D

sarcasm aside try watchin some motivational videos from time to time.., there existed people with much greater hardships but they came out successful in their lives. Our problems are nothing compared to theirs ;s Linking you my favorite one

AOA dear hooman , ...

The world is running on two things, 1, efforts ( which can be classified as no efforts , normal efforts , hard efforts , over the limit efforts )
2, second thing is hope ( for which we pray )


for you i will suggest as follows

1, identify what you want to become , ( forget and remove all fascination ) and in reality think what you want to be , eg. scientist , artist , doctor or engineer , program , etc etc ,

identify what you love the most to be then it wont be a burden for you or hard for you to study about ..
yes i know few subjects in pakistan are not as interesting but just learn them to pass them but the subjects you like most or love most should not worry you ... for example i love maths from my child hood so i use to do the maths questions while listening to music and i used to be getting bored by keep on solving them :) this is the part where you efforts level or learning curve need upgrades....

2, efforts part
nothing will work without goal , once you decided start putting efforts on that thing,
now your problem is with studies is lack of concentration due to distractions in your mind ( possible causes face book , tweets , tv gaming etc etc ) so start studying by following things in mind,
a , Study in regular short intervals of 1 or 2 hours start with 1 hour and then you can make it more as per needs , in between take 1o minutes break but in that break dont check your mobile or pc or gaming or any thing except for prayers .
b, keep doing this even though if you are not getting any thing understand just keep doing this it will take some time for you to become faimiliar with this pattern ,
c, concetration tip and when studying dont think about any thing expcet for the line you are reading in book ...if you read few words and some though came into your mind restart reading that line again.....until you get the meaning of that line , then once you understand that line then move up dont move to next line until you completely understand the first line trust me its a slow but very very strong approach to understand ... and this will build up your ( try to see you tube vidoes on concentration and motivation )

3, its hope part , ie. pray regularly , because pray is actually keeps you maintain your time table in short bursts .. it will also let your learn how to disconnect from distractions ... and will make your inner and concetration more stronger .

4, forget about your surroundings ... i.e pakistan , or any thing but learn to over come and cope with them with a smile on your face and beleive me time will change and you will be laughing on this time :) ... think about your self only , and invest and try to build your self , once you will create your self properly you will get confidence and you can perform better and will keep up building it. world will become open for you

5, european or any other west country is not as amazing as it looks like in youtube or pics its not bed of roses any where in the world ... in short ,
i have treavelled a lot and i know the facts from ground root to high levels

if you need any help further on any thing related to life do let me know insha ALLAh i will do my best ..

keep your hopes up ...

Thank you both and [MENTION=4395]bababango[/MENTION] the concentration part was spot on, I do have concentration problem, whenever I read something I get lost in the thoughts so i'm definitely going to do that and again thank you.

I have exactly the same problem as yours which is concentration. Whenever teacher starts giving lecture, I completely go out of concentration and on the next day even if i try to concentrate then i won't be able to understand things that the teacher is explaining because i missed the Basics & Introduction in the previous lecture. That's the also reason that even if i open books and try to study i almost take 12 HOURS to understand/memorize 5 pages. I cope with this problem by watching videos on Youtube regarding Chemistry & Physics. For example if you missed lecture on "Oxidation Numbers" in your college or your teacher lecture was boring and you were not concentrating then search that topic on Youtube. Not only you will watch the video with concentration but even if you lost the concentration then you can still rewind that video where you missed and watch again. Their are pretty good channels one is "Khan Academy" and for chemistry you can search "Tyler Dewitt".

- Put your mobile away and lock it somewhere. If you study with your mobile in your pocket then you will keep opening it at regular intervals.
- Find a place in your home which is quite and study there. If there is no such place than go to Library and study there.


If you want to go Europe then you can only go by studying hard and get good grades. Although i would love staying here & working in Pakistan rather than going to Europe :D

There is no library close to my place, and my PC is only available when it's past midnight most of the time and I don't have a phone yet.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
