Hello everyone,

First of all I am just thankful for this forum and this community. I really think that reading all of the postings from other threads has helped me realize that I am not alone in my way of thinking.

okay back to the actual topic..........

I don't even know how to describe what my thoughts on school are right now. I love learning, but I find that it is really hard for me to bring myself to do homework assignments and projects. I feel like I am above these assignments (its bad, i know) and that they are a waste of time.

This attitude is very unhealthy for me as I have around two years of university left to finish and my parents are Asian. They aren't tiger parents, but they expect me to have A's and B's. Last semester I had all B's and one C, and the reaction that my father gave me brought me to tears.

My thoughts are unorganized right now. If someone can help me find the root to my problem I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

You are actually correct. You're doing them because you want to stop having to do them. Get the degree and don't end up repeating a semester because you will hate it.

I can't emphasize enough; do at least the bare minimum. You will make it.

Then go do something fun out of doors in your spare time and don't waste all of it on INTPf.

My eldest sister was once locked out of the house (to scare her) when she was in her teens; I was made to kneel for hours before.

All of us are determined that our children (she already has children, I don't) will not suffer this kind of bullshit treatment. So I guess you can tell yourself that you'll be a nicer parent than your parents (well, you say they aren't that bad and so I guess they probably aren't, but still...) and feel happier.

What drives you, why are you studying whatever you study?
Do you have any goals, anything you're striving or working for, anything you're looking forward to, any desires at all?
