This week I took my first two exams in university, and I failed them both (lemmygrad.ml)

First Discrete Math and now Linear Algebra... I hate this especially because I studied pretty hard (although in a somewhat disorganized way).

I can refuse to keep the grade and take these exams again in like three weeks, but seeing the kind of questions that were asked, I'm not sure I can master these topics in such little time. Also, in Februrary I have two other exams for which I didn't even began to prepare for, so I would have to study a lot... And to throw more fuel, I want to graduate with honors... But something now tells me that it's something that is very unlikely to happen.

I hate university, there is literally nothing I like about it.

I did philosophy A-Level and loved it, then went on to start philosophy at university, and it was totally different and I hated it. In the end I had to drop out due to illness anyway, but yeah sometimes a subject is just different and much more difficult and less enjoyable at a higher level.

True. I think it also depends on the way it's taught, some really good teachers can make you like a class you would normally dislike. It works vice versa too, haha.

I love philosophy. Although you dropped, do you still read anything about it? I know outright studying can be very difficult with chronic illnesses. Hell, I can barely study with a cold.

Tbh I hated it at uni level so much that I have a real aversion to philosophy now.

That's true trauma!
