Hey, I've never been here before, but I could use some help. This is my Sophomore year and I've completely lost my motivation for everything academic and otherwise. Last fall my baby girl Sophia died and it's been pretty rough since. But I pushed myself back into school the next term and did okay, but nowhere near my 3.7 GPA I had before. Last 3 terms in a row I have flunked out of two classes and dropped a few too. I lost my financial aid twice since my daughter died.
I used to love school and the idea of doing something good with my life, but now I have lost all my motivation and I don't care about homework or even showing up to class. It just seems like so much work and a mountain of debt. Has anyone else gone through this?
How do I make myself as determined as I used to be?

i also think you should take a break, but dont sit around and do nothing. School is stressful and its really great that your GPA was so high. Why not try going to a community college if you still want to do school? maybe take 1 or 2 classes at a time. this way it will give you something to do, you'll still be getting your education, and it will be alot cheaper.
As far as determination, you can try making small goals and youll feel great when you accomplish them. Maybe this will help build your motivation some.
