*voluntarily subjects oneself to misery

At least you will have a good paying job in the end.

That is, if I make it to the end. I hope I do.

I studied computer science in college but my grades were too low to pass because instead of studying I spent all of my time scrolling on Reddit and Youtube. Now I work a low-paying, dead-end job that will most likely be automated by AI soon. Every damn morning after I wake up I curse myself for being such a fucking moron. Please put in the work so you don't end up being such a loser like me.

That's sad to hear.

I'm in my second year right now. Honestly, I was doing kinda good in my first year, but then the current semester kinda destroyed me. Even though I was doing ok, I was always pushing myself to do better. Now that the courses got much harder, I started pushing myself even more while also trying to escape reality by aimless youtube scrolling. Eventually my mental health declined and I got left burnt out. That happened about three weeks ago. Still trying to recover somehow.

I was in a similar situation back in highschool. I failed a year because I was unmotivated to study. Literally went from top of the class to being put on "probation".

The self hatred is real and it just makes everything worse. I hope you can find your place in life where you won't have to hate yourself. I hope we all can.

That's true. I remember how I simply couldn't focus while studying so I would take a "short" break. Minutes would then stretch into hours and I remember hating myself every minute of it but no matter how hard I tried to convince myself to actually study I couldn't do it. I still don't know what was up with that.

I hope you will be successful in your studies and I wish you all the best.
