Things are terrible, but I feel OK. Not "good," but OK. Still, College isn't the same anymore. I'm not "excited" about it. I regret my decisions, but I feel that I've learned some valuable lessons, and that I've matured greatly from this experience.

Does ANYONE hear know that feel?

The 2 greatest sins any student can ever commit. If you find that you have less time to study, drop everything else and study. Don't do it again.

university is a lot different to school
Some can handle it, some can't. Others just take a while to get used to it

For all the academic e-peen comparisons on this board, mathfag is correct about his statement (probably). Good luck to us all, OP.
