So I'm on the upper crest of delving into a major case of senoritus. I'm taking 18hrs, though thats not the most I've taken, and not any super hard classes but 8am ones every day of the week. I'm also busy with labs and my organization. I'm finished with grad. school applications so I've kind of got it in my head that what I do now doesn't matter as much as last semester, but I know thats wrong.
I've starting skipping class for entire days and I'm struggling to get up in the morning so I end up skipping and sleeping in till way late which just makes me not be able to sleep the next night. I need some advice like personal stories of how someone got over it, how they planned things or arranged their time schedules to be more conducive to making it to class?! -------------------- Little monkeys making money

I used to (and to a lesser degree still) have a problem with procrastination (which my recently diagnosed ADHD has a lot of effect on). There are a lot of tricks that some people will suggest to overcome procrastination, but if procrastination is a major issue, it's usually habit forming. Thus, my advice is just to try something different. That is to say, re-arrange your schedule just for the sake of re-arranging it, try changing where you go to do homework, try changing the way you study, etc. Even if it doesn't work, it will at least get you unstuck.
As for skipping class, it's a good idea to narrow down why you're having problems going to class. For me, a lot of it was that it's simply a pain in the ass to go to classes at Tech. I had to drive all the way across town to get there, then spend 15 mins walking to class. Lately, I've taken to riding the bus to class. It takes longer to get there, but it's really not as much of a hassle and saves gas. -------------------- Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
