I actually felt the same way. The best first step you can take before you do anything drastic like dropping out or withdrawing is to go in and talk to a counselor. Your college probably has a CAPS (Counselling & Psychological Services) center, where you can meet with a counselor who has helped many people with problems similar to yours! Do not lose hope...when you are depressed, things usually seem worse then they really are. Take this first step and see what your options are, and maybe you will be able to find some solutions to your depression. I made this choice and it has helped me immensely.

unfortunately there is no quick fix here. Get a tutor (most schools will assign you one) and go to your teachers for extra help. Nobody LIKES studying, but if you want a future its necessary. Life is full of things that arent fun that need to be done, so get used to it now!

Ok, if you REALLY insist on dealing with school and college. \n\nFirst, make sure you do actually like reading and learning, could be anything. If not, pump gas or something.\n\nIf you DO like it, then force yourself to sit and look at the books. A few hours a day maybe. No matter how boring it is. Then get at least Bs and try. Then when you get to College it will be pleasant to be able to choose more what you sit and stare at for those few hours. Also, you will know how to do boring memorization and math when you have to. Those are the main skils you need in College. The more you lie what you have to learn, the easier it is. Its good discipline to be able to learn whatever you have to. Like eating only rice for week or so.

i'm in the same situation.  instead of wasting your money taking classes that you will never need, why don't you take all of the classes that will be required with all of the degrees..the english & algebra, etc.  take all of the basics.  and when you decide what you want to do...base it on what you want to do instead of money.  you will be alot happier.\n\np.s.  stop it with the "i'm getting old" thing.  i'm already freaking out about my 2 wrinkles as it is. :)

travel...or you could work in a restaurant and learn that you hate people....or you could just take my world for it....  people suck.....go travel\n\nOn the other hand, you need to get the dang degree.  I am so jealous of all my "young professional" friends.  I am young and a broke, starving student.  You need to get that degree, and fast.

you can look for a job or take a short vacation after all the pressures and stress you got from your studies...just do whatever you want as long as you're happy...make sure that the course you're going to take is good and you can enjoy at the same time...God bless and good luck!

Keep yourself busy.  Go out and learn something new.  Try looking for wekend activities at community colleges.  Sometimes they have what is called a "Community Services" office where you can learn fun things.\nGood Luck

I have the same feelings, school is taking forever because I am broke, and at a job i hate.  I would try to get scholarships at your community college, this helps a lot with the funds for school!  Good Luck!

Well, first of all, look at what you're scared of. Are you scared of the change? Friends? The teachers? The homework? Then ask yourself why you are scared, make a list of the things that scare you about them. Once you have that down on paper, it will seem like less of a challenge, and now you have a list of things you can work on to overcome. Dropping out is the easy thing to do, and really, no one gets far in this life without hard work. I know, last thing you want to hear, but you will not regret futhering your education. If you can absolutely not stand your classmates, talk to a counselor or a teacher and see if there is any way you can do independent studies/online/Saturday classes. There is always a solution to everything.

Finish uni, you might regret it in the future if you quit now. If you don't finish, you might be asked at a job interview what you did for those 2 years and it wouldn't look good if you said you just gave up your degree. A year goes by faster than you think.

Please phone your doctor immediately, Ask for an urgent  appointment. The Doctor whether you are on campus or at home, can refer you to social services  for assistance.\nYou may be able to take a year out , but that needs discussing with your college/university\nLife is short enough without finding new ways to make it shorter. Nothing on this earth is worth making yourself ill over.\nWhilst you are going through a really bad time now, you will miss out on how good and beautiful life can be, so please do not end your life. You can get the help you need but sometimes we just do not know where to begin. I hope this will be a new beginning, for your mum and you

Karen,\nAs a university instructor, the advice I give students in your position is to TAKE A SEMESTER OFF!!  There's no timeline in life where formal education is concerned and in\norder to get the best life has to offer you have to remember that: a) most learning takes place outside of the\nclassroom and b) learning is a lifelong endeavor.\nTake some time to really think about what you want to do.\nIf you continue along this vein, you're really just spinning your wheels, wasting your time and money, and will\nend up with a career that's not suited to you at all.\nStep away from college for awhile.  Flip burgers, travel,\njoin Americorps....anything that gives you some time to\nfind your real joy and goals in life.

You seem to be a studious person... and i think u are bored .... i would suggest you to take a break ... go on a holiday with your family and friends... if that's not possible or if it doesnt help.. the best thing u can do is to think positively and understand the importance of the entrance exams which will help you pursue your ambition to become an engineer... instead of hating studies or rather feel like throwing your books away... start enjoying them... and if there is any other problem thats disturbing u ... share it with your close friends or your family.. u'll feel better...\n\nenjoy studing and best of luck for your entrance exam!!
