  1. I hope I can help you with that. Most people who flail for some reason other than health issues, emotional issues, or simply not doing the work are allowing worry or self-criticism to sap their energy. If all the time that you're studying, there is a little voice telling you you won't be able to do this, oh my gawd what does the teacher want(??!), and stuff like that, then you won't reach your potential. If you are undermining yourself, don't add worry on top of worry. When you notice that voice, just tell yourself, oh, there it is again, and bring your attention back to your work. Ignore it without battling it. If you keep ignoring it, you will find that it will go away. The other thing is to consider what you're studying. Do you like it? Does it resonate with you in some deep way, or are you studying it only because someone told you you had to pick something that will lead to a job? The problem with that is that for the rest of your life, you'll be in competition with people who LOVE love their work. No one who doesn't even like it can possibly compete with those people. I recommend taking one class in a subject that you are intrigued by or passionate about, and become consumed by it. See what it feels like to succeed, and see if you can repeat it in other classes.
