I usually don’t work hard in school i tried this year and ended up giving up on locking in. The only subject i kinda lock in on is English but only if i like the assignment. I have this art subject I thought i was going to enjoy and every time i get an assignment i get excited thinking it is going to be fun until i actually start working on it. Then i start falling behind and the excitement is gone. Even if i am not falling behind the assignment starts becoming dreadful. I really want to enjoy art but i just can’t. I don’t know what to do

I think you’re still in a period of your life where you have yet to figure out what truly draws you. I love that English has been sorta the thing you enjoy. One more thing.. you see you’re not supposed to enjoy everything you thought you’re supposed to. Art is a long tedious process to make a piece. And often the enjoyment isn’t in the long hours you put in, but maybe what it means to you. I think it would do you good to focus on what you’re learning out of it. Don’t force yourself to enjoy it, but don’t assume you hate it just because it’s too long and you feel like giving up. Get through that particular semester or subject duration because you’d be proud of the effort you put it. It builds self trust. Then when you look back, you’d definitely know by then whether it’d be something you would want to go back to.
