No Drive, failing college

YouMyBoy · #1 12-12-2006, 02:26 AM

I have absolutely no drive anymore. I'm not sure if it is because of poker or not, but it has definitely contributed to my laziness. I'm 20 years old and a sophmore in college, making around $150k a year from poker. I feel like college is pointless sometimes but at the same time I don't want to regret not doing well and giving my best effort. I often play poker or go out with friends rather than do homework or even study for the 2 exams tomorrow that I haven't even started to study for. I rarely even go to class anymore.

I want to have a more balanced life but it is so hard to do when you have no drive. I have drive to workout, make money, and be good at poker, but right now that's about it and school is just suffering completely.

I'm sure others have felt like this, is there any methods that work, any motivation?
Should I just drop out of college and disappoint my parents?

and you wont get a job out of college that pays over 150k a year....finish your degree...then play poker until the boom ends.

If this thread doesn't belong in The Dorm, I really can't imagine that any thread does.

OP, TIEdup likely hates you because you're squandering amazing advantages, just because you can't be bothered to show-up. (Just a guess.)

Dude, your in college making 150k a year? Ok, sooo become a marketing major, go to classes and try a little, and you will have something to back up once poker ends. But for right now you should definitely use your money to A) invest a litte and B) throw mad mad parties, dump your GF and hook up with as many vaginas as possible.
