Is it just me?

I am constantly in a depressed mood, and keep thinking why am i here (at uni). I have contemplated packing it in but being a second year its not so easy.

Have you spoken to anyone about it?

I kinda understand where you're coming from in that I hate my uni but luckily I only have the major "that's it I can't stand being so unhappy anymore" feelings about once a week, not all the time.

Like the post above says, see if you can speak to someone (uni couselling service, a friend?) Is there a specific reason you feel like this or do you just feel 'down'? If you are in your second year then you havent got long to go, I know how you feel because I feel like that often too, I just keep reminding myself that I havent got long left to go now and if I drop out, it will have been a waste of time/money. Just stay positive and see if you can talk to someone to find a way around this.

I'm the same (I seem to be the same as everyone from my replies so far in TSR LOL) as you but in sixth form AS levels.

Thinking of quitting but know that these grades will help me in life... even if I can't see it they most likely will.

Just stick it through. As I'm in the same place and have no advice for myself I have none of any real use for you either.

Just a post to let you know though that you're not alone!

I have just been to my initial counselling session with the uni counselling service. At the end they suggested things i could do, work shops, regular meetins, etc. I think that you should go and snoop around yours, see what they can offer you. It's a start to make things better.

I have spoken to my parents but around my mates i am ok i just seem to botle things up. I am currrently doing a group project or should i say individual and thats getting me down becasue no one else is communicating. i have spoken to the lecturer and she says just keep at it. Another thing that doesnt help is that some of the modules just dont seem relevent. I will try and stick with it and see where i am at the end of the year. I have begun to think am i trying to hard beacsue all my friends are playing games where as i am always working (both uni and money). On the otehr side there is the thought that if i dont keep it up my work will be ****.
