/lit/ - Literature

i consider myself a creative and open-minded person, i like to write and read poetry and literature, but i can't stand academic subjects. i'm not sure if this hatred developed over time from when i was a child or i just lack the attention to study, but i suck at school. it's a miracle i got this far, i cheat on every test and this year i slipped up and gotta retake a test in august, i feel dumb but i know i'm not stupid. i can't comprehend algebra or anything to do with logic my mind just shuts down whenever i'm met with a problem. i take things slowly, but school never waits for me and i fail to catch up, similarly i never did something i was forced to do, when i had to read hamlet for school i didn't, but i would read it out of enjoyment now. my life is kind of a mess right now and everyone depends on my further education. should i give up or suck it up and endure it? i'm a bit fearful for my future and i know that in this world you can't get anywhere without an academic degree.
