That's because you were brainwashed to think school and good grades is what you need to succeed. My advice is simple, listen attentively when the lecturer is in the class and focus on a skill. Learn a skill that sells. If you've got passion try to see if you can monetize it. Don't injure yourself trying to a course you many not even love or pursue in future.

The idea that grades decide who you become is why our organized schools are dangerous. Throw that line out of your head. If possible, ditch school. Tell your sponsor to channel that money on a skill you want to learn. You can always go back to school.

Don't allow some grades decide who you are. Try your best but don't kill yourself over nothing. Grades are not worth such attention you are giving them. Learn something and be happy. Don't tie your happiness to grades. That's the the ugly tumour our systemic education creates.

Sapiosexuality:
Seems you are catching up. That's good. Learnt any new skill or engaged in any venture yet or planning to?

Boole3:


Still planning to... Need a laptop first... I'll get one before Christmas, hopefully

Sapiosexuality:
Okay. It will get better. You need a strong mind for now. Mentality matters. You need to have a strong sense of self. No human being is better than you. Grades are simply grades. They don't make or mar us but our response to them could make or mar us. School knowledge is not better than street knowledge and vice versa. How you use it matter. Don't let any grade define you. You can learn simple businesses. From the guy frying donuts on the road, to the woman frying okara balls, etc. Drop pride if you want to succeed too. Don't be proud in asking a course mate explain a topic or subject.

1.8gp after studying for 8hours, hian your village people are really strong o, I don't even study for 8hours.

Boole3:

Thanks!!!

Sapiosexuality:
You are welcome.

Boole3:

cgpa has gone up to 2.6 but failed a course this semester... and the depression is back... so tired of this... I really need this to stop

Sapiosexuality:
Your mental health is number priority. Why is the depression back? You reverted back to Solitude? Don't stay alone or cut people off.

Like I told you always be in company of people who raise your mood. Once you notice any overt thinking creeping in you cut it off and change something.

Congrats on your improved CGPA but you can get better. What company do you keep in class? Look for that group that excel and join them. Don't let pride or shyness stop you.

Studying for 8 hours is not it if you don't know how to study or have interest in the subject. If you are interested in the subject the lectures alone would be enough. Speaking from experience.

Whatever you did that improved the GP should be improved on. You did great working on that, considering your past performance but there's always room for improvement.

Most importantly, try to re-evaluate what happiness means. I assure you if you have that taken care of things like grades won't slump you to depression. Take these two articles serious.

What constitutes happiness to you and what really is its nature? If you were given a million dollars will you still be depressed? If you had good grades and end broke will you be happy?

Like I told you in that first post, don't try to quantize grades to monetary equivalent.

If you are depressed because you think bad grades wouldn't get you a good job or good future(=good money), then it's time to pursue money and leave school.

If on the other hand you are after education then grades should only bother you when your cgpa threatens your education. Do you have a sibling you confide in? Do you even have any friend?

Shun solitude but don't roam aimlessly. Mingle with brighter minds. Check for that group that tops the class and join them. You can't be with a smart group and perform badly.

You are tired? We all get tired but we pick up and plug the loopholes and patch the torrents of torment that sting us every day. Grades are not enough to ruin a man. Don't let it. 4 years in school shouldn't define your life and happiness. It is never too late to start anything. But Boole, what exactly do you want?

Boole3:

I really don't know
