School, Grades, Laziness, etc...

Alright, guys-I need some advice. I have been smoking for about 4-5 years now-but only every once in a blue moon. For about the past year, I have been smoking almost every night-just a bowl or so. I have noticed lately that I have become extremely lazy. When I say this, I don't mean that I am laying around all day, but I just drag a lot more than I use to. I have a hard time getting my ass out of bed to make it to my 10:00AM class (going to bed around 2 or so). I am more sleepy during the day...I have been procrastinating a lot....I don't get as much homework done as I use to, etc, etc...I have to do something about this because this is my last semester in college. Basically, the 'side-effects' that are always mentioned when people are saying how bad marijuana is, lol. I know that it is typical side-effects from smoking, but I enjoy smoking every night-it actually helps me be more creative. Any advice?

Hey, I sorta had this problem and theres no easy answer. You just gotta find the motivation... think of what would happen if you didn't didn't do whatever is is you have to get up to do. I recommend only smoking at night and try to exercise a few times a week... it gives you a lot more energy (seems counterintuitive, but it does). I've managed to keep it up as college gets progressively harder as well (neuroscience etc.). Good luck :jointsmile:

Umm, if you're just smoking at night, then I wouldn't blame it for you being lazy when you're not high. My advice would be to stop pouting about being lazy and get some shit done. You gotta graduate! If failing to graduate college is not enough motivation to get your stuff done, then I don't know what to tell you.

If you're really convinced that weed is the source of your problems, then obviously the solution is to stop smoking for a while (or maybe just smoke on the weekends) and see how much that helps you. But I suspect your problem is probably that you just aren't motivating yourself enough. Get some sleep, find a regular time to do your homework in advance, and just keep it up for a few months. Don't get your mind off that diploma.

How's your grades? Unless your grades are hurting. I wouldn't change a thing. If they are hurting, Cut back, focus on weekend from blazing up. I tried going to school... I just couldn't do. I wasnt into it..nothing they have makes me wanna do it...So I pretty much just smoke weed now.

Highschool, College, Work...

Fuck that... who the hell made up that fucking way of life. There has got to be a better way!

As for me on content on laying in a field of weeds with a joint in my mouth. :S5:

Sorry if i'm not helping.... Study hard, You can do it!

dude... people are going to get us mixed up...

Thanks everyone-good advice! Exercising is a good idea-I just haven't been out around the streets jogging because a girl was murdered here this summer ('Bikini Strangler' or something-the dude was on the FBI's Most Wanted, lol). It sucks-everyone is 'on the edge'. I do go to the gym about 1-2 times a week-I am just too lazy to drive there sometimes, lol.

My grades are okay-B's or so. Usually I just have exams, but this semester I have some lovely professors who have piled on the papers, research projects, etc. It takes more motivation than just studying..lol.

You guys have given me good advice-thanks. I need to set a certain time aside each day to study. There is no way that I am going to quit smoking-it helps my bi-polar! Thanks again!

Geez... dont worry at all gurl. You're fine.

[spliffstar22]

just keep busy, and you won't feel lazy..........

[Purple Banana]

Yeah, don't QUIT smoking, just cut down a little. Maybe try every other day and work down from that...

It's difficult to get out of bed if you've smoked the night before, I know. So maybe smoke in between lunch and dinner, and that should be a bit better.

What's your major?
