very normal.....I began my studies and did drop out after a month. I began again a year later and was overwhelmed again and wanted to drop out again but was convinced (threatened, bribed and coerced) to finish. I went on to get my Masters and have lived a very good successful life because I have an education.....so, just to help you through....try taking less courses one semester and/or make sure there's at least one class you really enjoy each semester. Do the best you can and learn to prioritize your work.....As an accomplished professional I can tell you that the work load never lightens but my attitude and ability to prioritize has made life a lot easier. Give yourself little rewards and many breaks in studying....Stick to it.....It works if you work it so work it YOU are worth it!

It can be overwhelming. Try not to take on more than you can handle. Forget the social life. Decide which is more important, party now and work for minimum wage later, or study now and enjoy the benefits of a financially rewarding career and party later. Pace yourself. Eat healthy! Very important. And if it takes longer than the requisite four years, then so what. Attending college part time, I still earned a PhD. Chose your priorities, make a commitment and stick with it. Don't sacrifice your integrity for a few hours of fun. You will do just fine!

Yes, everyone goes through this, especially when classes first begin. The first few weeks of class the instructors are trying to weed out the students that will drop their class and this makes it really rough for all the other students. Things will settle down after a month or so, but you have to set your goal and always think about the end result. Push yourself to get motivated and do not give up.

Yeah, very normal to feel like giving up.
My daughter got about 4 hours of sleep every night during four years of college. It is really tough.
My high school students have NO IDEA how difficult it is to succeed in college.
My best advice: Try to learn more efficiently and read faster with increased comprehension. Sleep long on weekends. And no parties.

Yes we have all felt overwhelmed at one time or the other. Just hang in there and stay the course. Get help wherever you can. Use tutors or anything you have to to get through. Go to a counselor to get a pep talk once in a while. It will all be worth it when you are finished.

yes it is normal, but you have your whole life ahead of you. Take things one step at a time and things will fall into place. Life is a never-ending lesson. I am also attending university right now and I feel your pain, but we just have to strategize our time wisely and hope that things work out in the end

Don't give up, break on through.

I made it through by binge drinking nearly every weekend. Not the healthiest way to handle it but it did work for me.

yes it is normal to feel like giving up, but don't. Someday you will be so glad you hung in there. It will all be worth it.
