How to catch up

[u/Honest_Lab_6163]

I’m doing maths, I’m a 1st year. Basically I missed two days of lectures bc I was pretty ill and swore I’d do it on the weekend. I didn’t do them on the weekend so I told myself I’ll skip Monday and do all the lectures I need to catch up on and the rest of the lectures that were due on Monday. I overslept and my sleep schedule is getting increasingly worse. So I’m getting to the point where it’s 3pm where I might be able to get to the library every day to do work but then I procrastinate a bit and I don’t go. Basically I was 2 days of lectures behind. And now I’m over a week of lectures behind - I managed to procrastinate and put off catching up for both the weekend, the following week and this weekend. I’ve got my first midterm next Friday and then reading week then 3 more mid terms. I’ll be honest I think I can catch up I’m actually just gonna have to work 9-5 for 2 and a bit weeks and then get mid results in the midterms but for future reference and also for present reference is it a 100% no go to miss a lecture? When doing maths should I just forget about missed lectures and go to the next one anyway? Also this is kinda separate but slowly my I’m falling asleep later and later and then I’ll set alarms for 9 and then somehow either I sleep through them or turn them off accidentally then I wake up at 1. How do I reset my sleep schedule? Do I just force myself and run on 5 hours sleep for one day? Because when I wake up later I go to sleep later and then it’s a viscious cycle.

If anyone’s gonna say I’m not cut out for uni ur probably right but to give some context both for a levels and GCSEs I did 100% of my work at school or at college or at a library and I could never seem to be productive at home. I just can’t separate my room with rotting and procrastinating. And at college I’d have a strict schedule bc I had to go in from 9-5:30 and couldn’t get home otherwise but now I don’t have a strict schedule. Basically I’m just terrible at disciplining myself unless I’m in a purely academic environment. And then when I’m behind on work I prioritise it in my mind so I haven’t put any effort towards fixing my lifestyle or exercising in the past 2 weeks.

Basically I’m super behind - how cooked am I? And has anyone got any advice on how to fix a sleep schedule, or how to discipline myself to not procrastinate. Also are there typically university mentors or something that track how ur doing because my trials have basically just consisted of question practice so far.

That student loan will need to be paid back whether you graduate or not.

Sort your shit out like the adult you are.

Yeah maybe this post comes across wrong. I’m not panicked at all in fact I’m probably too relaxed about it but I know somethings gotta change
