First and foremost I'm a newbie on here and just registered today but have been visiting for a while and find a lot of you guys very helpful. I registed because I wanted some advice on my current situation. I am an EE student who went to Community College for the first year and half and completed all of my basics. And well now, I am finally getting into my EE classes. I want to know if anyone experienced the same difficulties that I am going through. I barely made it through Tech. Physics and will be taking Calculus II for the 3rd time this summer. I studied a lot and really tried to understand all the concepts and theories in both of those classes but when it came to test I would get very bad test anxiety. In a way, I am really intimidated by all the classes I have to take also. I want to get all of this done and get my BS in Electrical Engineering but it's going to be 4 years this year that I've been in college and I feel like I have such a long way to go. I am frustrated because I no longer get Financial Aid and have to get subsidized loans. I am also frustrated because In a way I feel like I have to get a job to pay for my living expenses and then end up not being able to study because I work all the time. Right now I am working at Enterprise rent-a-car but I am seriously considering leaving and just focusing entirely on school this upcoming semester and perhaps taking out a loan. I am soo frustrated and feel like I am going nowhere and add the fact that I've been having difficulties in Calculus II is even more stressful. I am curious to know how many people here went through the same events that I am going through. I refuse to give up and want to graduate within the next 2 years. Can anyone give me some guidance or advice? Is having a job and being an EE student a good idea? Should I take out a loan instead for living expenses? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
