This semester I am working part time and going to school full time. I am currently failing 2 of my classes and passing my 2 other classes. The 2 classes I am passing are super easy and don't really require any effort or time to pass. Right now, I feel so trapped and unable to talk to anyone about my problems. I really want to quit school. Originally I wanted to go to grad school but I know that will never happen. I'm barely making it through my undergrad classes! I have no desire or motivation to do any homework or studying. I don't know what to do.

Working and studying is always complicated, especially with that load. You are effectively doing 1.5 full-time jobs which is difficult for anyone! Is there any possibility you can drop back to part-time study for a while alongside part-time work? See if that helps to ease the stress.

Sometimes if you can remove parts of the stress and worry the motivation and study is a bit easier If possible, it might be something to consider before quitting completely.

Yes, mazing is right, can you still withdraw from the two subject you aren't doing well in? Switch to just auditing them or something like that? See if you can at least finish this semester with some little bit to show. I went to grad school and dropped out after the first semester but I at least finished the one semester well in case I decided to change my mind later. I've done it the other way too, finished poorly and gone back and done well but that takes awhile and lots more work to learn

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
