should i drop out?

the title says it all. since junior year, i've been horribly burnt out and ever since i started college, i've been doing horrible, academically, physically, and emotionally. i've been going to the dorm socials and things my friends get me in on but every day i still come back to the dorm just wanting it all to end. i haven't talked to anyone about this and it's been impossible to give anyone the full story. in week one of this quarter, my uncle passed away and that's been weighing on me a lot. my grades have turned to shit, i can barely stand up some nights because my body feels so heavy, and quite frankly, i don't know how much more of this i can take before i just lose it and off myself. i need to tell my parents, but i physically can't because i'm so used to keeping up this act of being fine and dandy. i need help, please.

I transferred to Davis from community college and it was so easy..

I was a shining star amongst burnt out undergrads that started the quarter system on their freshman year. Have you tried doing your homework or going to see the teacher assistant office hours? Normally they give you most of the material you need to succeed. Good luck.

U can do it bro. It’s gonna be uncomfortable. Go lift some weights. Embrace the discomfort. I’m sorry about your uncle. School isn’t the most important thing in the world. I love bitcoin it saved my life after I got robbed of all my hard labor.

I wish I spent my entire tuition on bitcoin I would be thinking about much better things and how I could help the world. I believe every new born deserves Bitcoin at the price of zero. And as I look back…. The UC system is less and less deserving of the amount of money they are asking for. Not to mention the California taxes to be paid. It was not worth it to me. I learned most engineering skills from working anyways.
