If you're lazy, don't go to college. If you're lazy, and your college tuition is expensive and or you're taking out loans, especially don't go to college.

I've been in community college for 4-5 years half-time. I'm a lazy sack of shit, and I have bought into 'sunken cost' fallacy. I'm gonna transfer this fall to a state university and be done with it. If I could do it all over, I would've done something else with the amount of cumulative time I've put into college -- which is a lot.

As per your question: no. You don't get hand-outs in college as a generality, but every instructor is different. I've had instructors who haven't gone 'digital' i.e. they're old fossils, and their classes were a pain in the ass.

There's a big downside to going digital in college. The publishing companies are running a big racket and swindle you with their digital e-book and grading shit. You have to spend like $150 on a license fee to do, say, your Math class, which is just pure bullshit. I've heard instructors say that they know it's bullshit, but it's coming from the top, so everyone just has to accept the financial rape.

As a general rule of thumb for life, don't ever become co-dependant on something or someone. That goes for adderall.

If you're having issues with focusing, adderall won't change that. It's an inherent character flaw you have within yourself. No pill is going to change that. Don't end up as one of those people who take adderallin an attempt to focus and do better in school. You're going to end up fucking your mind up and depressed and having to slug through an incredibly painful period when you decide to come off of it, that is of course if you're able to.

You don't need a pill. You sound like you're lazy and disorganized af. Start getting organized and giving a shit for your last bit this semester and get back on that path you need to.

Your college should have an academic advisor to guide you in your studies. Tell this person about your issues and ask for help. If your advisor is willing or able, schedule regular meetings to monitor your progress. Explain that you have the ambition, but lack discipline.

Yes

About an hour per class, do all the readings.

There's some YouTube videos about "how to be a topper” you can watch. Basically you're going to have to develop lifestyle habits that revolve around studying and it's gonna suck until you get those locked down
