extreme stress caused from seemingly nothing noteworthy is making me have thoughts of quiting uni, going back home and find a job. even tho the course im studying is something i enjoy and have great talent for. what do i do? ive had enough stress in the last 10 years of my life, that i just dont have anymore strenth to fight against any new stress. and i have already done smth similiar, but the thing i studied then was chosen so that people wouldnt judge me for not starting uni a nd not knowing what i want to do with my life.

Have strength and continue, it can be hard, but you like it and are good at it.
I’m finishing a ma degree, failing at it, I’ve been through so many exams that unfortunately no exam or paper stresses me, not even the dissertation. But I should be stressed and write it, it’s the last thing.
I wish you strength, I know you can! ^^,
When I was in 2nd year I too felt like you, but then Christ found me and it gave me strength to go on.
Your quality of life will be significantly better if you persevere. Either way, you’re going to have debt. Objectively, it’s just a better decision to finish college.
Nowadays any good jobs need a minimum uni degree. Consider yourself to be part of the lucky privileged group that has the chance to have that education on your resume.
If you drop out now (and we’ve all had such thoughts), you’ll regret it forever, then want to go back to finish it. If the stress is too much ask for a leave of absence and come back to it in 6 mths or a year.
I went through some rough emotional times in uni, not because of the program, that was part of it, but I was also depressed, stressed out, etc.
I’ve made many stupid mistakes in live, but I’m happy I got my degree. In fact my engineering program was so tough, I literally had nightmares that I didn’t finish my degree (after I graduated) and had to go back for a course and it was too hard to complete. Actually some of my friends also had similar dreams.
Aside from the work, some of my best experiences were at university. Now that’ve been working for so many years, I’d much rather be studying for exams and stuff. It’s frigging fun to learn new things. Then you’re seeing gorgeous girls on campus all the time.
As long as your grades are decent life is ‘nice’ but only problem is that you have no income, I had student loans to pay off after.
Also it’s a status thing…you just have the one leg up on others, esp. some arrogant people who think they’re better in some way…you can put them in their place. Though I barely ever mention it (unless its needed), since it can intimidate others and ‘pigeon-holes’ you as a ‘type’ also.
