I'm in my last year of college, hotel management. And we have to make this stupid business plan to graduate.
I'm done with this study. Things are arranged horrible, and I will never finish it in time. My motivation is gone, I'm done with all the annoying texts and s**t about how they don't get it, no one gets it. We don't get the help we need, and we didn't had s**t with the last 3 years. It's like we started a complete new study and we have to finish it in 4 months.
I want to quit. But I can't. partly because everything would be a waste of time and money. But I already have the idea that it's a waste of money and time without quitting. I don't want want a future with this study. No idea how I ever thought I would. And I have to pay back everything I paid if I quit.
My motivation is gone, and I don't want to do this anymore. But I have no choice. And this is depressing. And all that nagging and bullshit, ugh. Our teachers are talking about something completely else then they are supposed to do. When we tell them we don't get it, they tell us to find it on the internet. DID WE PAY TO SEARCH THINGS UP ON THE INTERNET?
They talk behind us back, that none of us will graduate. Well hey, that's weird if we barely get any help. and if the teacher is only flirting with the goddamn students.
I don't know what to do anymore.

What you do is say '******** it. I'm going to get through this and be biggest damned success I can be.' If your lecturers think you can't succeed then use that as your motivation. Don't let them be right and don't live up [down?] to their low expectations.
Motivation is where you find it.
Even if you don't end up using your degree don't let them make three years of work be for nothing.
You can do it. 3nodding
I nearly jacked on my tertiary studies during my first year. I couldn't stand some of my lecturers, couldn't stand what we were learning and was ready to call it quits...kept going because I knew one of the lecturers wanted me to leave. razz
Don't be a jacker. wink

What Skeksis said.
I felt the same way about halfway through my college course, and it was only a 10-month thing. Absolutely I felt like I was wasting my time and money being there and the emotional stress only made it harder (yay for moving away from home fresh out of high school and having no friends where I moved to).
I pushed through anyhow, graduated with a really high GPA, and moved on with my life. Too much time and money had already been invested to consider throwing it away, so I just did the best I could (or the best I was willing to do in the case of the classes I didn't like/get so well).
You may not see a use for what you've studied just yet, but it may come in handy in the future (I took Legal Office Assistant; I currently work in a grocery store; the computer courses have come in handy with formatting order forms and signs and whatnot, and helping coworkers to do so also; now I'm applying for a school office position, a semi-related field, but slightly different audience; I don't have the experience they're looking for, but maybe having the schooling will at least get me to the interview point). If nothing else, it'll look good on your resume to have that completed college education.
In regards to teachers that just say "figure it out on your own".. I had one of them in high school (an option computer class).. I quit the class after the first one (mind you I was sixteen and absolutely not willing to put myself through that stress and bullshit... can't quit real life so easily, sadly). Have you tried complaining to the higher-ups, though? Sometimes it can help. And you know, proving them wrong will feel awesome.

I'm just not sure how they will take it. And I have proved that same teacher wrong before two years back. He was convinced that I would never in my entire live get higher than a C on my tests. I got a B instead, and rubbed it into his face. mad
