College is definitely not for all people, however I'd say give it a year personally to know if its the right choice or not. I knew a lot of people from outside of Dublin took a while to find their feet up here.
You should tell him to join a load of clubs/socs and stuff and hopefully he'll find one enjoyable and stick with it. I was the same, 1st year was a pain in the hole, it was felt like school without uniforms with added stress. Now I'm a regular in a society that I was interested and now I'm headed to I am going on snowboarding trip with them in the Alps
Making new friends certainly me through 1st year of college.0 -

Still not sure what I feel about college tbh. I enjoy being somewhere new and the people I've met but I feel like there are parts of my course that I have zero interest in and recently have started going down the slippery slope of skipping lectures. At the same time I'd feel kind of useless without college though. Go figure...QueenOfLeon wrote: »My brother is not enjoying college.

Also there's a sort of feeling that if I dropped out I'd see myself as a complete failure, which is not cool. Would just be nice to have a break to gain some perspective.0 -

Dropping outta college isnt a failure. It shows more strength cos you actually know whats right for you.

Could not relate any stronger to this post. I loved first year, but now I don't know if this is the right course for me... I mean, I'm really interested in the material, it's just I'm sh*t at it. And I'm pretty much at the bottom of that slope now because I made the mistake of thinking "Oh What's the point of going, I'm not gonna understand it anyway."SarahBeep! wrote: »So much work due...starting to panic
I'm beyond panic at this stage. The phrase "rabbit in the headlights" could be applied to me right now. So overwhelmed by the workload that I don't even know where to start. *sigh* looks like it's gonna be a looong six weeks until the holidays. 0 -

If that's the only problem in your (first?) spot test that's not bad going! :P0 -

Between now and tomorrow morning I have to:
-do an Irish Essay
-start and finish studying for a pretty big Biology test that decides the higher and lower classes
-research, start and finish a debate speech
Then by Thursday
-Do 2 weeks work of Applied Maths homework(30 questions at 15 minutes a question)
-Study for a big Spanish test
-Learn 53 quotes and their context from Macbeth
And by Friday
-Rote learn 3 A4 pages for an Irish test
All this coupled with the fact that since lunchtime Sunday, I've gotten the grand total of 7 hours sleep.
This could be a fun 3 days. 0 -

I cried reading it
I feel guilty for not turning up to society events, yet missing lectures doesn't bother me. This needs to change, quickly.0
