Impossible.
I've procrastinated so much in university that in spite of having passed all my classes and having A's in multiple classes I can't be proud and constantly want to give up whenever exam season comes around, because of how disappointed I am in myself for not having applied myself better. How do I get over this absolutely awful feeling of self-hatred caused by this? I want to have a career in science, as that is what I am studying, and when I apply myself I get good grades but because I so often don't I truly want to give up and just retake this year of classes.
I'm in my master's and I can't imagine graduating a year later as I've already done that for my bachelor's, but I can't imagine going on like this as my grades determine my future and I feel like an imposter and a worthless student.
So is it at all a good idea to retake a semester of classes in hopes of a perfect GPA, or should I just keep going and settle for a career outside of academia after graduating? What really bothers me is more that I can't feel pride over my achievements, as I know I've never given it my best shot except those times I've gotten an A.
I honestly would more than anything want to do a different program entirely as I've realized my current program is not my interest - but starting over seems impossible and pointless.
