I am garbage. End of 2nd year in Electrical Engineering, I am at the edge of suspension with a shitty GPA. Finals begin in 2 days yet I can't just focus and study even right now I am writing this instead of studying absolute divergency.
Any oldmy old friends elderly experienced individuals with fresh tips or suggestions for me?

Pushing yourself past procrastination and the hard work mental wall is a skill that you need through all of your life, in many areas. These finals are good practice for the rest of your life. Of course the EE part for doing actual domain related work, but pushing through giving up is essential for pretty much every important thing in the rest of your life.
Break it down into smaller parts, i.e. you have finals to prepare for, you must have a syllabus to ensure you know as much of it as you can, and you know how much time you have until each exam. You know you need to sleep and eat and whatever else is unavoidable in your personal life. Block out the rest of your time into a schedule and stick to it. If you happen to slip up on that schedule, don't panic or give up. Just adjust it, i.e. at this point it might mean tactically jettison revising/practicing bits that will turn up in your exam/s.

This might help.  Discipline is important, smack you shins with bamboo every time you touch your weeny.
Always do sober what you said you’d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut

Drop out. Become a freelord. Why kill yourself studying and then working? For the greater glory of Sultan Erdogan? No, I thinks not, Kratos, I thinks not. Live free.... die hard..

If you're smart enough and you neglect to study, you'll still pass, albeit with a lower gpa at the end of it all. If you can't at least just barely get by without studying, perhaps a change of major is in order as you clearly aren't retaining any information relating to the subject matter whatsoever.

I'm done with my degree in IT and information systems in 3 weeks, only cost me 500 dollars. Didn't do shit free breeze. I feel for you Kratos, should have been born in a country with easier higher education standards for easy worthless paper. Just wing it and you'll care less. Have fun.

I´ve been in a similar situation (and it was also something similar to Electrical Engineering) and I dropped out. Then I spent a year working until I found something I actually wanted to study.

Ask yourself if you REALLY want to be an Electrical Engineer for the next 30+ years, if you´re that disinterested in something it could be the wrong choice and you´ve been punching yourself through the years. If you really want to work in that kind of field, get your shit together and learn (simply starting to work is half the battle), if you only got into this because your parents told you so, screw it, it won´t make you happy and you´ll suck at your job.

So, is this really what you want to do?

the only skills you need through life are pure luck and learning to be in the right place at the right time

No need to rush cause you know what's coming afterwards. Military service. I think that would be enough.

Edit: Ayrıca 4 yıllık bölümdeysen ve sevdiğin/denemek istediğin başka bir bölüm bulursan açıköğretim var.  2. Üniversite diye sınavsız kayıt yaptırabilirsin.  Ardından hardcore moda geçersen DGS girip 4 seneliğe bile tamamlanabiliyor.

I want you to imagine this fucking awesome feeling when you acquired the skills you need to do you what you want.  Imagine being in the position that,  finally,  you can explode in a fury of inspiring actions that ultimately result in you achieving a state in which  you  cant sleep nor eat straight,  cause you just have to work on that one project day in,  day out. 

if the things you study now are needed to help you work on the more important,  awesome things later,  then dont even think of the single exam as something big.  its just  a thing you cross off the list. 

get a hold of what you want,  and then fucking destroy everything thats in the way of you getting it.

if its that exam in 2 days,  then own it.

NOW you fucking kebab, NOW!!

Yes, I know from whence I came! Discontented as a flame, Upon myself I live and glow. All I grasp like lightning flashes, All I leave behind is ashes
Flame I am - that much I know!
