I feel like dropping out of university

I'm doing fulltime study along a part time job and I feel like I can't do it all 😐 I can't give the full attention I need to, my essay writing is never enough for them and I found out it's going to be years before I can even start doing what I wanna do.

Kinda don't know wtf to do rn..

It can be very overwhelming to balance full-time study and a part-time job, and it is completely understandable to feel like you are struggling to keep up. Before making any drastic decisions, it might be helpful to take a step back and assess your current situation. Here are some things to consider:

Prioritize your time: Make a schedule and try to allocate specific blocks of time for each task, such as studying, working, and taking breaks. This can help you stay organized and make the most of your time.

Seek support: Talk to your professors or academic advisors about your struggles. They may be able to offer you additional resources or accommodations to help you succeed. You can also consider joining a study group or seeking tutoring.

Take care of yourself: Make sure to prioritize self-care, such as getting enough sleep, eating well, and exercising regularly. It can be easy to neglect these things when you have a lot on your plate, but they are important for maintaining your physical and mental health.

Reassess your goals: If you are feeling burnt out or like you are not making progress, it might be helpful to take a step back and reassess your goals. Are you studying something that you are truly passionate about? Do you have a clear plan for what you want to do after graduation? If not, it might be worth considering taking a break or exploring other options.

Ultimately, the decision to drop out of university is a personal one, and it is important to carefully weigh the pros and cons. If you do decide to drop out, it is important to have a plan for what you will do next. You may want to consider transferring to a different school or program, taking a gap year, or entering the workforce. Whatever you decide, make sure to carefully consider your options and seek support from loved ones and advisors.

Hard to say. Do you really want the career you had in mind? No matter what you do it’s going to take years to get rolling. Going back to school later in life when even more is expected of most people is rough. Definitely wouldn’t be making any long-term life choices around a temporary, part-time job though.

@WhateverWorks oh yeah the job is just to keep me afloat, ive had some realisations about the learning path though and I might be wasting my time with it.

Yeah, when it comes to school (time+cost+quality of program+Post-grad opportunity openings +expected pay outcomes) Sometimes that’s part of making a good decision for yourself. @Ryannnnnn
Maybe go part time studying? But that'd probably affect your student finance if you have it or just make use of the resources available to help with the quality of work. Sending your tutor or those at the library your drafts. Over here they usually allow 500 words to review. Organise a meeting with whoevers in charge for a little direction. That's their job.
What is it you're doing?

@HijabaDabbaDoo I've been doing an honors degree in psychology and councilling. I've realised though that it dsnt help me towards that as you need diplomas in councilling skills and actual placements for client hours.

It's going to take a few years and it's kinda hard to swallow I guess. But I'm wondering if it's best to start the actual path to doing it in light of that.
