    I think you guys are right. I just need to man up. And I mean, I just looked at my midterm grades. Apparently being distracted hasn't hampered me too much. I have straight A's. I'm starting to realize how shitty this college is.
    Manning up is fine and all, but if there's something you can change in your life to make concentrating possible, then what you need to do is man up and change that part of your life, not pretend like you can will yourself into concentrating when your body just won't do it.

    Are you sleeping enough? Did you know that lack of sleep is very highly correlated to lack of job satisfaction? I'm sure the same applies to coursework.

    Is your diet okay?

    If it matters to you this much, will getting into shape make a difference?

    Be honest with yourself. It's easier for you to say now that that you're going to just make yourself concentrate than it is to commit to changing your lifestyle.

    Maybe coq is right, but honestly behavioral problems in my life thus far have been attributable to problems with my habits rather than just to a lack of "manning up."

    Well yeah... if you're hyperactive and jittery, you're not going to be able to sit still and concentrate...

    Thanks for the serious reply.

    Like I said earlier, I'm getting enough sleep and I work out regularly. My diet kind of sucks right now (eating at irregular times). I'm also smoking pot regularly (but not before class). I guess cutting out smoking and improving my diet could help.

    Honestly, in my case the solution is probably a combination of manning up and improving my habits.
