I'm 18 and in uni. Go to Northwestern. Just got a 60% on an exam worth 40% of final grade.
I don't give a fuck. I feel bad but only because it's like I'm letting down my mom who helps pay for the tuition (although she doesn't care).
I am more upset that there isn't anything MORE important to me than schoolwork. It's not like I do anything productive instead of studying etc.
I'm really struggling with this..I feel so fucking purposeless. I was so fucking motivated in high school to achieve and it got me into a great uni. Now that I'm here it feels underwhelming and pointless.
How can I solve this lack of any priority in my life? Anybody a bit older with something to share?
I feel like I'm just destined to be apathetic and depressed like my parents for the rest of my life now that I'm on my own. I was so different just a year ago though.

If you honestly don't care, drop out and leave a space for someone else. Take some time off to figure out what you want to be when you grow up.

Retake that bitch. Its not like you failed it. Just give a good explanation on why you fucked up and assure you wont fuck up again.

Isn't 60% a pass grade? If it is, then you fucking passed! Stop worrying about that and try to study a bit more for the next one if you want the fancy grades

You sound like me. Life feels like one endless day of studying repeated over and over.

Not him, but my degree requires at least a C to pass

I appreciate your advice guys.
But really this is less about the exam and more about my whole life - if I don't give a shit about the exam, shouldn't I give a shit about something else instead? How do I determine what that is?

Seriously. While you are still at university and have access go to student health services. They've seen this before they will have ways of helping. The longer you wait the worse things will get so do what you can while you have easy access.
