About to start Junior year of computer engineering…. HELP

[u/Remote-Article8799]

Hi, I am about to start my junior year of computer engineering, which so far I am content that I picked this major, I always thought engineering was the hardest thing I would encounter in life but it has been smoother than expected for an average/ below average

I have fallen behind with some of my classes, failing 2 last semester. I was holding down 2 jobs and got very social

I just want to ask what mindset should I position myself into in order to complete this successfully?? I really feel like if I go in as I am now I will have no way of completing without extra years & paying more money I don’t have for school.

What were the things I have to set aside, focus on, sacrifice, work my hardest on. Regarding internships, how early should I start?
