I can relate I think. In what way are you 'overloaded' etc? Why are you finding it hard?

I can relate to having felt overwhelmed with school and life while I was a full time student for sure, but not to the course load or time frame as I did a whirlwind 130.5 credits in 2 years straight out of highschool, graduating when I was 19.

But each of our capacities to deal with college life and school stresses will be different and you may be feeling as overwhelmed or more than I did.

Do things that keep you calm and focused. Healthy diet, plenty of exercise, try some meditation etc as everything will become easier for it. And just when you think you can't tolerate it, realize that yes you can - as you are. Just keep plugging away day by day and you'll get through it.

I dropped out of 10th grade, first semester in college when my high school class was in 12th grade. that was back in 2005. I'm a senior now with a major in something I'm too terrified of interacting with (nice) people to go back and finish, so I'm graduating with an associate's degree and getting a medical certification that will let me get out of here and try something else later. I've dropped out of school 10 times, despite being in the 99th percentile on standardized tests and consistently told I'm brilliant.
