Then what's the problem?

Imagine yourself going to work behind a cash register for the next 50 years, or sitting in a cubicle, or sweeping streets.

Why in the world did you study medicine?  Is that reason no longer present?

Imagine 20 years from now, someone with an alien probe stuck in their brain needs it removed, and you're the expert they call, cuz, ya know, you're the best.  Some cable TV channel will make a series about your life as the "Alien-Probe-Removing Neurosurgeon".  How cool is that!

Not working?  How's this:

It happen naturally I never made conscious decision really to be Neurosurgeon. When I was 9 my father had an accident at work he feel from a forte lift and he had brain trauma he was on life support for a while, I went to see him and I didn't understand why he was so unwell if he just had damage to his brain because I thought it was just heart failure that meant you couldn't survive. Then my mother she agree with the doctors to turn off his life support and I was very angry with my mother and the doctor for doing that. Then my uncle he bought me a book about the brain and is function so I understood the decision, I read it and then I was amazed by the brain a lot so I always research about the brain. My mother she was a nurse and she took me to hospital she worked in and a doctor showed me some brains they had in jars in a lab and he used to send me books when I was teenager about brain and Neuroscience. It made me be the best in Biology and Chemistry at school so I always had advanced placement and I just decide I will study Neuroscience and maybe Psychology but I went for interview and the professor told me he happy to offer me place on Neuroscience course but he suggest I study Medicine  and I just didn't want to say no to him. So I didn't really decide on this for myself but I enjoy, it is a little too time demanding and I miss having hobby.

Why do you need to study?  Did you pay attention in class?  Lab? Did you do your homework?

 In fairness @Carborendum, I paid attention in class and I did my homework. I still had to study hardcore-espeically in the one science class I took

Write this on a poster and stick it to your wall:

"I will not have a wedding unless I pass my finals.  And Spain is going to win the World Cup."

You've been studying/taking classes for years (I assume). This is the time to, as an old professor once said to me, "hunker down" and make all that hard work pay off. You don't want to waste all that time you were in class by doing poorly on one (or a few) exams. Hours were spent in those classes, and this test will take most likely less than 2 hours of your life. So use this time now to study, go over your materials, and apply the knowledge you learned. Looking back, you'll be grateful you did.

NO NO NO NO ! Brazil or Germany will win but Costa Rica will make it to the quarter finals.

That's because you think Brazil or Germany have a chance at the World Cup.  If you just accept already that Spain will win the cup, then you can concentrate on passing that finals.

Then get snacks to push you through. Every page you read or every concept your overview, reward yourself with some type of snack that will keep you awake and alert.

Well, since Spain is going to win, it's best that you just stop thinking about the World Cup and you go concentrate on studying for the finals.
