Depressed With Uni

[TClite]

is anybody else finding themselves considerably depressed with the whole uni fiasco, I know myself along with some close friends are in this position. Considered by many to be the best time of ones life, im finding this prospective hard to contemplate, with what ive just been through this year alone, for those coming to uni...dont be disheartened by this im sure each individual copes differently with these things. If it wasnt for the dream of a porsche 946 to aspire to, id have little motivation to go on. In this generation, possibly unlike those before it, qualifications speak louder than anything else, the concept has been forced upon me, and the thought of failing uni terrifies me.....sorry, just had to share some of these thoughts, im sure im not alone

this includes myself (i hope :P) and i have to say i feel in exactly the same position
uni is supposed to be great fun, however, i just can't get into the uni 'groove' as it were

i'm not enjoying it one bit and feel like i want to quit
if it wasn't for my family and friends, i would have already

I'm not terribly happy with things all the time either, but I keep thinking that it's just a couple of years more, and occasionally someone or something comes along making things a bit more wortwhile.

nah i dont consider you a mate g, you just follow me about.....:P

[TClite]

oh dear...

well, I'm about to start my second year in uni myself. I partied a bit too hard the first year, so I have some subjects from my first year I have to take with me, but I don't really mind. Uni is great fun for me and a whole new world opened up to me. I made some great new friends and I'm happy to know all these things I've studied. I don't really worry about failing. I take things day by day and try not to worry about the future. I believe myself well capable of finishing this, but if I don't, I won't regret is, as it is a sign that it wasn't meant to be.
Life is short, but not that short, and many opportunities will come around.

Heads up and just enjoy yourself :D

had enough and can't be arsed anymore...plus my 2 true closest friends are in their final year...so i thought it would be best to leave with them..instead of struggling through more years and never getting anywhere...

plus my girlfriend is back at where i lived before i came to university...which is a 17 hour drive away...and the long distance thing is putting a strain on things...

and yeah i can't afford to loose her...so im going back home...and yeah getting a part time job...doing some bar courses and yeah i will get a start and hopefully make the most of it...

[TClite]

good for you, I hope things go great and I hope you get back a strong relationship with your girlfriend, I work as a barman myself...its quite good, hours are bad, and drunk customers are bastards sometimes, but just be polite and try to ignore them lol

I've just started my third year btw. And I have to say that so far the first was the worst, the workload was bothersome, the lecturers from another planet and all the party-people as shallow as I've ever met (which in no way is meant to reflect on anyone in this Forum).

But a huge part of why my first year was such a bummer was because I had this huge crush on this girl who kept encouraging me and pushing me away at the same time, later at the end of the second year another girl told me the first one had a boyfriend, grr.

I hadn't tried at all if she'd only told me.

[TClite]

SnnY, thats horrible...woman lol - no offence intended of course. I have a long term girlfriend, shes gifted at the fiddle so shes off to the Royal Academy of music and drama this year in glasgow...very prestige uni, and im worried how our relationship will go, ive stayed strong with her after my first year, but now that shes going off to meet new people...im just scared...

[thisiswhoweare]

im in my 2nd year soon, only 2 weeks left, and im crapping myself about the workload...personally i prefer college to university. Maybe this year will be better, or my placement year if i take it.....i just hope it isnt 4 years of boredom, wasted money, and time.
