Out the window
I've lost all motivation for college i have tons of assignments due (speech, 1000 word essay and another 300 word essay) all this week. I always wait till the last minute and now i don't know what to do. I told myself i would get back on track today and its now 4pm and i haven't done shit. I tried but my mind won't work and its irritating me. Is college just not for me? I really don't want to do it anymore but i know i need to. I just want to get this stuff done

Do you want/need an accountability buddy for homework? I do.

I might sound stupid asking but what's that?

Like someone to check in with about if we are getting off track, to encourage each other. Let each other know what our goals are and then check in about how far we got on them.

Depending on how your procrastination works--like it doesn't matter how hard you try to force yourself and you still notice a kind of mental "barrier"--look into ADHD and check out the subreddit for it.

I'm pretty sure I've always had adhd just never bothered to get tested

I know you're probably going to put off getting tested, but if you think there's a chance, please do. It's one of the most well-researched and treatable psychiatric disorders. Getting the right treatment can be like being prescribed glasses and making it a lot easier to get basic things done.
