-- Posted by Another Chance at 10:38 pm on Feb. 27, 2007 I got home from work, and it's like 1045pm, and I rush because I have like hours of chem homework to due, and it's all due by tomorrow. I've been sitting here for hours trying to do all of this work, and I've only gotten about half way. You do not even know. I'm dying. I was doing a chem quiz online that is also due by tomorrow, and I'm doing it and I realize that it's like 30 questions long, and it takes me like 10-15 minutes to do some of these questions. And I realize that, it's just too much, I won't finish, and my brain shuts down, then I get sad, because I can't even force myself anymore. I shed some tears to relieve me. I just can't keep up. No matter how hard I try, it's too much. I can't do this. My dad was telling me how he only got two years of college in, till he dropped out. I wander if that'l be me. He'll be dissapointed, for sure. I'll be dissapointed. I'm trying so hard to hang in there, but it feels like something is pushing me towards the inevitable. I just know I can't fail this class. And tomorrow, I won't have all of my work done, and it'l be due. I'm having thoughts of just... I don't want to admit or even say what I'm having thoughts about. I thought I was such a strong person, but this, this is just breaking me to pieces. -- Posted by thrive in bliss at 10:46 pm on Feb. 27, 2007 Chin up. I'm in a similar situation with philosophy class. It's 1:46 pm and I have an outline for a 1600-word essay draft. An essay which determines 2/3 of my grade, and it's due tomorrow. The important thing to remember is that you're trying. Keep trying, you can succeed. Just don't give up. Take a few deep breaths, and if you don't do so hot with your studies, you can't blame yourself for failure. It's only a true failure if you don't keep going. One class won't determine your college career or your future. If you have the desire, you can pass through college.   Go get a glass of water, wash your face with cold water, sit, and do the best job you can do. -- Posted by never mind at 10:47 pm on Feb. 27, 2007 just hang on. tell your teachers that your having trouble and they surely will work something out for you. what about extentions on the work? i know it seems impossible but just hang in there, you just gotta get through the worst of it. -- Posted by crfdude86 at 3:24 pm on Feb. 28, 2007 ya college sucks sometimes     -- Posted by maylet at 7:24 pm on Mar. 1, 2007 You need to hang on and take it easy -- Posted by dolce e gabbana at 8:00 pm on Mar. 2, 2007 I'm sorry about that, really I am. I know how you feel right now; with all the pressure from school, work, and deadlines.   It truely does suck.  You just need to relax, take it easy, and stay positive. YOU CAN DO IT. you can determine your faith and if you hold on for a bit you'll be able to finish this all up! you can do it! good luck -- Posted by limesod at 2:05 am on Mar. 4, 2007 All I can say is good luck. Every thing will work out in the end. Even though it feels as though everything is crashing down around you or falling in a pit unable to crawl out. Everything does get better. I was where you are now at one time in my life the "Dark Ages" as  I like to call them. I thought it was never going to get better but it did. Dont worry about your dad You will never dissapoint him doing your best.
