To a large extent it is. College-level course materials are available online, for example MIT's Open Courseware. They include problem sets with solutions provided separately, so you can work them out on your own and then check your work.
What you will miss with that approach is personal feedback from knowledgeable people. One way to get that is to talk to your teachers. Another way is to post specific problems that you are having trouble with in the Homework forums here (be sure to fill out the complete homework template when you do). Either way it will take time and patience, but that's true for anything worthwhile. None of us here learned this stuff in a flash; we've all been through what you're going through now, and there's no shortcut.

Unfortunately, there's no quick way to do that. What's more, I don't see why there should be. Whatever your idea is, it's not going anywhere; there's no reason why it has to be resolved right now.
