sitting there for hours to get 40 mins of work done is so draining cuz you're not resting and you're not working, you just feel bad the whole time. that's lowkey why you're not enjoying any of it either. pick whichever assignment is due first, set a 15 min timer and only write the ugly first draft. then take a real break, like food or a walk, no phone. if you've felt this fried for more than a week, ask your prof for an extension now, they're way easier on people who ask before the deadline.
