First, unless your college tuition absolutely depends on it, you need to quit your part time job. You’re not keeping up with your studies right now, and your studies must be your #1 priority. In effect, they’re your full time job. Later, once you have things in order, you can start working again. But right now? Quit.

Then, start to prioritize. We’ll do a bit of triage on this semester, to get you through it.

Your first effort must be to attend every class from now on. You absolutely won’t be successful if you don’t attend and worse, your poor attendance will end up impacting your grade. So even if you don’t feel prepared, go to class. It may be embarassing at first, until you get caught up, but you’re going to have to do this. There’s no other option.

Reconsider how you are studying and doing your work. If you are not understanding the subject matter despite doing the work, ask the professor to recommend a tutor. Go to the professor’s office hours (this is what they are for) and ask for extra help. Bring the assignment with you, already started. Stop emailing her about the problems. Bring them to her in person, or to your tutor. I’m thinking that email isn’t the right way to approach either this professor, or your advisor. This is too important. You need to go in person, multiple times if necessary.

I think the professor is “announcing the problems” you wrote to her about to the class, because she suspects that if you are having them, others are, too. She’s not pointing out that you’re the one who wrote her, is she? If she is not, then she thinks others are having these problems and wants to talk to the class about them.

Consider dropping a class. You’d get a W-P in most universities, a Withdrawn-Passing. One of those on your record won’t hurt you, and it may free up time to spend on your other classes. As for which class to drop, either drop the one that is of least interest to you, or the one that is absolutely killing you: your choice. You’d need to talk to your advisor about this possibility. It’s an easy process, and if it helps, then it’s worth it. I did it with one class in undergrad, and I’m *still* glad that I got up the courage to drop it. It was sucking up way too much energy.

I am very concerned that you had a project due in a program that you’d never heard of, and could not complete it. That worries me quite a bit. I suspect that the subject matter may be over your head. Why did you not know this program? Did others not know it? How did they cope? Was the program taught in class, or was it a prerequisite for you to have known it? What could you have done in order to learn it? Work with other students? Get a tutor?

So, for this semester, your goals: you need to get caught up, and you need to find a way to complete your assignments. Get through the semester. Then reassess.

If the work is truly beyond you, you may need to change your major. There is no shame in this! You could take next semester as an opportunity not to take any major courses (or just take one), and to take classes in other areas in order to explore them, and complete more gen-ed and elective credits. Then decide.

Honey, this is perfectly normal, it’s why so many young adults drop out of college. My son is now in his 4th year at U of F. His first year, he felt exactly like you do, he contemplated quitting at least once a week!

If possible drop one of the major classes for now, you’ve over loaded yourself for your first year. Being in college and working, being away from home where your biggest worry was what to wear to school and there was always someone who loved you to talk to, even if you didn’t want to talk, It’s a huge adjustment having to worry about everything yourself now, it’s like suddenly your a grown up, having to take care of all the things mom and dad used to do. It’s over whelming right now honey but it will get better, I promise! Do the best you can, go over your advisors head if you have to, and talk to your teacher about NOT announcing your problems to the class, although her thoughts are probably that most of the students are experiencing the very same thing and it’s easier to address the class than individual e mails. It will get better sweetie! Try to take a breath and remember things will get easier as you adjust.

And honey, call your parents often, trust me it’s just as hard on us letting you all go! We’ve enjoyed taking care of you all and our lives as we knew it have changed forever, it’s tough on we parents too.!

Good luck honey and don’t give up!
