  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I just had spring break, and I had 4 real days off, two Saturdays, and two Sundays. I worked Mon-Fri, but I haven't been able to bring myself to do much schoolwork.
I actually asked for an extension for an assignment, but never really got to finishing it.
I guess I've been depressed this whole time. Tired, lacking motivation, feeling out of it.
What should I do?
I actually feel pretty embarrassed about this. I'm behind like 6 homework assignments in Calculus.

If you genuinely have depression you should bring it up to a school counselor within the private confines they offer. It could be having a direct and negative impact on your school work, as well as your life.

In regards to work, are you happy with the balance you have now? I think you shouldn't be working more than part-time or casual as a college student if possible, and personally I wouldn't have increased my work over the vacation break. I would use it to recuperate. Do you have enough time to do your work and develop your social/personal life? We all can feel bogged down with assignment, but I think you need to address the depression if it is present in your life. Good luck!

I think I really do have depression. I looked over an article and I have most of the signs of it. I also pretty much have zero friends, but I do have two parents and two siblings I see daily. I remember I dropped out of a class last year, and I thought I was just lazy but I think I've had a serious problem this whole time. Maybe I will talk to a counselor, but I don't know.
As for work, I'm really not happy with work. I feel like 8 hrs a day really doesn't give me as much time for school as I'd like. I've really just been operating at a minimum level to get by, waking up late all the time, and trying to finish everything towards the end of a deadline, out of fear of embarrassment, because I don't want to come to class, and have nothing to show. I really can't take less hours at work though, it's more of a necessity for me to work, but I wish I didn't do material handling, that's probably what's draining me even more.
