I hate school work so much. I get good grades, the work is challenging but not a big deal if I apply myself, but I can't stand doing it whatsoever. I'm a full-time online college student studying business.
It kills me because I could be a Dean's List student with a 3.8 GPA but forcing myself to do it is the worst. I'm disciplined in other aspects so idk if that's the issue. I work 3-5 days a week, always 15 mins early. I go to therapy weekly. I have regular checkups for my car, teeth, eye-exams. I don't neglect other shit, but I always wait last minute for school work. Is it maybe the way I'm learning? I chose online because I have a lot of social anxiety that made me drop out of high school.

search ADHD

When you do school work, you are in the environment and time frame where you could be doing other, leisurely things. Since we have so much in our lives pushing us to instant gratification, we are held back. ADHD is the overdiagnosed go-to, I'd forget it if I were you.
Same boat mostly
Same problem. I've found timing myself helps a lot. 120 minutes before moving on to something else productive is my sweet spot, and I get a lot done this way.
Preferably find a way to disconnect while you're doing your work.

I never considered myself ADHD at all. I can stay focused just fine, but maybe I could have it? I know it's not a definite thing you "have" like a virus, but more a range of behaviors. I'll ask my therapist.

Ask him, but don't take the drugs if they give them, no matter how much you'd like to. They do brain damage, no joke. You can get by on your own with training if push comes to shove

Just read a NYT article about that. Surprised but also not surprised it's not more well-known.

>i could do it
is something average people say to themselves so they can keep the illusion that they are smart.
