Not suited for college

I'm at my fourth year in college and I still find myself severely lacking as a person to make it through the challenges I have to face. I'm still a very irresponsible person. I constantly submit past deadlines and let my groupmates down. I always cram reviewing for my exams and I always submit mediocre work. I constanly cut classes coz I just don't have the discipline to wake up on time. And if I do wake up, I always arrive late for my class. Admittedly, with how I am right now, I don't even deserve to be in college. I desperately want to turn my life around because I don't like where it is or where it is going, but during the rare times that I do take the initiative to work, I find myself easily frustrated and distracted by many things, and I just give up within the first five minutes. I don't know what to do. I feel trapped and I can't seem to do anything to change my situation

why do you stay then? if your in fourth year you've gotten so far... (not meaning to be cruel just honest here). Perhaps what your studying isnt for you? Maybe a break or slow it down a little may help. My teacher said college should be fun, as it is a privilege, I wonder why you feel you dont deserve it? a lot of students go through stress, challenges etc. You are not alone in that. Perhaps you can reach out to sources you have on campus that can help you manage things better? You can also look at it as building you up to face the world, (dont take this the wrong way) but if you quit how can you manage outside? AGAIN i could totally be wrong, there are a lot of people who drop out (dont have college education) and are successful. Id say, you need to step back a little and really take a hard look at this, and face your truth darling... but first things first, know you arent alone in this! and again i recommend reaching out to sources for help on campus, I mean it be such a waste to give it all up wouldnt it? I cant answer these things for you, only you can.

    The best antidepressant is when my wishes are honored. An example, the faucet in my apartment was running although the knobs were turned shut all the way, and one of the pulling strings on my ceiling fan came off. As soon as I notified my maintenance man, he was quick to reply with the work order. RAPID response... he's getting my services around my apartment done. I appreciate my landlord and...

    Hello,so I'm currently in a weird relationship with my long distance ex who I've never met in person and it's taking a toll on me. I've lost 15 pounds and lost my appetite, but I'm really attached to him. We've had a lot of problems and I think that has caused me to gain severe anxiety. I don't know if I should wait until it gets better or what. Everytime I've blocked him, it has tend to make me...
