Self esteem
I'm at a really competitive uni and I can never possibly live up to the standards they seem to expect from me. I did ok in my first year exams, but because they're always pushing me harder I feel a bit crap because it seems like nothing is ever good enough. It's first week back and I've been given about 50 hours work... how do I cope with this? My friends and boyfriend etc make me feel lots better about myself but after working all day on something really hard I just can't keep my self esteem up 
how do other people manage?

how do other people manage?Sorry, I'm not at uni so I can't be much help, but...
You went to uni for yourself, not for them. You went there to learn, not to be crushed. If you work your hardest and achieve ok grades then who cares?
I thought the whole idea of uni was to independantly work and work to your own methods and ability, to push yourself really...
To be honest, your uni, I am sorry to say, sounds like y7-y11
If you got into that gud uni you're there because you are good enough, so don't loose your confidence. Annndd.... although I don't want to contradict myself, I would be glad you're uni is trying to push you a bit, just don't let it overwhelm you.
