You've answered yourself. Fix your lifestyle issues and you will most likely start to feel better. Next step to take is to seek out a uni advicer or something, all universities have professionals whose only job is to give career/study advice to struggling students. You didn't mention how long you've studied, but from your age I'm gonna assume not that long. Everyone is lost at the beginning. Uni doesn't really match anyone's expectations and finding your groove might take a bit of work. Furthermore, most of the courses in the beginning are bullshit basics and you won't find actually worthwhile and inspiring things until later on. High education doesn't really offer ready made jobs or answers, the things you learn can only offer you some insight into what you might enjoy and what might interest you. Your actual career and interests you have to figure out yourself. Give yourself time to do that, don't expect a miracle over night.

Personally I did my BA degree and didn't give a fuck about what I was doing, but in my last year when writing my thesis I suddenly found some sense in what I did. Now I'm doing my master's and I feel actually motivated and I have a decent internship lined up. Basically, uni is bullshit until you accidentally stumble across something you enjoy, I've come to believe the same is true for a possible future career. If you keep looking, something will turn up.

Tell me about your uni experience?

And how you decided to do esl?

This really helps. Thank you.
How am I supposed to find something I really enjoy?
How did you manage other aspects of your life while going through school? EG work, family, friends, sex?

And yeah this is my first quarter here.

Get a fake ID and go to WOB. Commit to getting yourself on the board. Kate is an awesome server.

Campus is boring as fuck though

Have one coming in by the end of next week lol. Will look into this, cheers

Im 18 too.
I was very obsessed with grades when i was in secondary school that follows british curriculum. I got bunch of A* at IGCSE exam which is like getting 4.0 gpa.

I could have gone to england, do a levels and uni, doing real challenging shit and become elite. But i couldn't fund it and went to shitty state school in america. And I feel good. I can have fun while not having to work hard for grades.

That ambition, i know that feeling. Feels that you can be the best in the world and you just have to work for it.

But why? After coming to uni I realized that im sick of living for future. Fuck that. Its all about the moment. Life is about experience. Do some coke and go out dancing, put yourself in some trouble. Make conflicts in life. Im getting there and feels that it will be more and more fun.

Bangers and Lace is ok for a good meal, too, but as far as getting to know people WOB is the place to be. If you're capable of striking up a conversation you'll become a regular pretty fast and their enormous tap list means theres always something to talk about.

Okay I know what wob is, what's the board?

You join their loyalty club, you get a point for every unique beer you drink there. The top ten people go up on a board. You might be able to make it by graduation.
