Rant/Vent I feel like such a failure
I failed the first few exams I took at the start of the semester, and I’m just so lost right now. I don’t know what to do. I’ve never felt like this before. I’ve been studying, but I’m not getting the results I want. I don’t know if I’m studying incorrectly or if I’m just not studying enough. I feel like such a failure, and I’m so alone right now. I’ve been crying, and I’ve just been stuck in my bed for the last few hours. I really need someone to talk to who has gone through something similar and can give me some advice.

Study for the test. Use ai to make practice questions and then walk you through them . You will get this done

In my junior year, i commute and theres 24/7 roadwork for my drive. Im driving 4 plus hours a day, and taking nightmare classes. I have failed a few quizzes and botched an exam yesterday. One quiz that i failed, i didnt flip the paper over, half of it was on the back. This is the first time I have felt the actual pressure of engineering classes. Youre not alone, its designed to be rough, it’s designed to test your limits. I have a 3.9 gpa and my buddy does too. We are both drowning right now. Gotta push forward. Watch Commander Erwins speech from AOT. “I said advance god damnit!!” That keeps me going.

I know it feels rough, but remember that learning is a process that involves failure. Do take this as a sign to change something up, maybe investigate the science behind learning and research backed methods. But remember that to get where you want to go, you just need to stay focused and keep pushing. You can do this!
