I often feel like giving up at school, too. But I tell myself the time to make that decision is before registration, not after buying textbooks and committing to a term. Taking a course of action is, to me, like a promise to myself. I feel obligated to follow through.

There are worse things than being a grind. I'd rather be overworked with studying than ashamed that I paid for the term and gave up in the middle. How do you feel if you think about it that way?
