The trick is, that you need to stop depending on your emotional state. Emotions are fleeting. You need cold hard disciple and routine. But you need to ease yourself into it. Tell your self I will study for 5 minutes, to get the ball rolling, and then try to get a full study session in 20-30 minutes. If you get 30 minutes that's a start . Take a 5 minute break - time yourself and get back into it. Do that until you hit a daily goal , rinse and repeat. You can't keep trying to rely on mood, it wont work. try using a study planner like wisegraph.app or something else . Emotions and mood is fleeting , you need a routine. It takes time to build up the commitment to stick to a routine. If you want to try a hack, trying buy some candy like m&m's or hershey's kissess. When you hit a micro goal like studying for 10 minutes, eat one to reward your self and give your self positive reinforcement. Try to set up your reward schedule like this

# Initial start
5 minutes studying -> one hershey kissess (first reward)
30 minute studying and completing a study session (4 m&ms)
3 study sessions complete for that day ( whatever candy / treat you like)
Two consecutives days of doing this ( an even better treat)
A full week of completely your study schedule for that week ( reward your self something worth while - me personally I love gummy worms)

Do this as long as you need to , the dopamine hits from the candy might give you the jump start you need.

fun fact "Dark chocolate, rich in polyphenols, is known to increase cerebral blood flow and has been suggested to improve cognitive function." (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2405844024004614)

TLDR : Studying is not fun, relying on emotions/mood to start studying will get you no where

I use toggl, Pomigo, or Make10000Hours to log in my study hours. I use Quizlet or Anki to help me with spaced repetition. I also use Genio Notes to help me study and review information from recorded lectures.

I have made my really good friends through Discord. I saw that a few people had mutual class servers or club servers with me so I friended them online and then met up in real life. I then asked them to study together with me since we shared classes. Now, we're a good trio. I'm sure you can join some clubs that are related to your interests since you're a media production major and hopefully, you'll find the right people. Trust me, it took me a couple semesters to make really good friends. This is my second semester at UCF but I'm a sophomore so I had a couple of friends from high school but the new ones that I made here are my really good friends (the trio I was talking about earlier). We send each other funny reels from instagram and share our stories from our lives with each other. I feel pretty safe with them and I'm very lucky to have such friends and I pray and hope the same to you.
