    Default Get my ass to school! (long and complicated)

    Hey there,

    I was wondering if anyone could relate and/or help me in my battle with procrastination. In October, my ex moved out, ending a relationship of three years. It was for the best and I'm over it (in most senses), but since then I have given a shit all about school. I am at a great university, my workload is pretty high, but I don't seem to do any of it. And when I do, it's all handed in really late and it's a poor quality of work. Mind you, previously I was an awesome student at collage (mostly all A's) and now when it really counts, I don't care.

    Half the problem may be that I may be majoring in the wrong subject (Art History). While I love the subject, as I get older, I'm finding it hard to be passionate about something that may never make me any money. I'm thinking about switching to business, but no school would take me if grades have plummated to an all time low. What should I do?!

    Another thing that I should mention is that I was put on Celexa in October as well to help with anxiety and depression. I like the drug and don't feel too weird on it or anything, but since then I've had zero motivation. Almost like since there is no anxiety left in me, I don't have the drive to get things done (I was always a person to do things at the last moment, but I always got them done). But I also don't want to go off of it, as it does really help. So what can I do? Can anybody relate?

    I know there's at least 2-3 Art History majors here, myself included, so hopefully they'll add their POV. I love Art History. Is it necessarily a key to untold wealth? No. Is it something you can direct towards a number of other fields? Hell yes. Curating, historical research, law school, all sorts of stuff. You aren't doomed to a life of academia or poverty. You might have to turn into Indiana Jones or write an awesome book to cash in, sure, but will you be happy? If business makes you happy, give it a go!

    I do have to say that it sounds like life and/or your meds may be more of the problem, but I have no experience with Celexa.

    ^^^We've been having pretty crummy weather! Maybe like many people you have the winter blues, or you suffer from S.A.D. ? Be gentle with yourself Darling.
