So I have been trying very hard to graduate from college by the end of 2012. But it seems that the closer this semester gets to being over, the less likely it looks like it will happen. Unfortunately, I had a very overwhelming year last year, and I have to retake a couple courses that I got Cs in, and it just doesn't look like I will be able to stay on schedule. It really sucks because I am already a semester away from being in college for 6 years. I am ready to be done, and it is just so stressful. I didn't want to end up being a 7th year college student. All of this just started really hitting me hard since I finished classes today. The fact that I have a 30 minute presentation tomorrow, a huge paper due on Thursday, a test Thursday night, a take home final that I have to work on over the weekend, 23 hours at work this weekend, and finals week next week, is making me feel like everything is pointless because it feels impossible. I'm not really looking for advice right now. I just had to get this out somewhere.

That sucks man,i hate when you get a feeling of despair due to huge workloads,i empathise,really.
Im only doing my 1st year but the fear of failing is there.
You've said before but iv forgoten,what are you doing again?im thinking health or science,mostly the latter.
If you fail is it just the final year you have to redo?i get the frustration,really i do,but hey,lawyers spend 7years studying.if its something you really enjoy and want im sure you'll get there in the end,maybe not right away,but youre not on a clock.i get that feeling sometimes,like i need to move ahead quick but once you get it and geta job itl be one long route,you wont need to race ahead any more,youre still young and all you can do is your best.
If i were you id cut vizzed for a while and really concentrate,id ask my instructors for extensions and revision sugestions.if you fail you will feel you could have done more.
If you put it all in despite feeling you'll fail you'll at least know you tried your best,and hopefully get it the next year.
Im just saying this as if it were me,i hope i dont seem condescending because thats not the intention,im sure the work is far from easy and you've been trying very hard,if its important to you just maybe you should cut some things till its over.
Anyway,i hope you get an eventual good outcome,preferably sooner rather than later,you seem like the kinda guy that deserves the success.

thenumberone : Appreciate the words of confidence. I am studying for secondary education in speech, theater, and biology. Basically, that is a high school/middle teacher, and my teaching fields are speech, theater, and biology. I'm actually not failing and I didn't didn't fail any classes or anything like that. The problem is that last year when I had a lot of overwhelming things going on, I got almost all C's in every class. Because all those classes were Science courses, that screwed up my GPA on the required classes for my Biology teaching license. You have to have an above 2.75 GPA in the required science courses in order to be approved by the Biology department to enter the final teaching phase (student teaching). I am fine in the speech and theater aspect (finished a long time ago) and my overall GPA is still above 3.0, but the science portion is down because of that year. This semester, one of my labs ended up giving me a lot of trouble. I don't like blaming the classes, but it really was ridiculous. It was super unorganized, nobody knew when or even if we were supposed to turn things in, and we didn't get any of our stuff back until after the middle of the semester. That is when I find out that the whole time, I wasn't doing the work the way the TA graded it, making me have a lot of bad scores. This happened to a lot of people. Now, it seems unlikely that I will get above a D, and I will have to retake that one too. I was already going to retake a few of those courses I got a C in last year to bring my science GPA to where I need it, but this lab I am not doing well in doesn't fit in with my schedule next semester. So I am going to have to put off my final teaching phase semester for ONE class, which is what is so frustrating. It really isn't a Vizzed problem for me. Just a rough year last year because I had to work a LOT more hours because my fiancee was doing her student teaching, so she couldn't work anymore, so I had to take over her half of rent and expenses. If I have to postpone my final phase by a semester, I just have to suck it up. I'll just take the time to retake classes instead of taking new classes so I'm not pressured with new things. If I have a whole semester of retaking classes, it should be a pretty stress free semester. It is just frustrating because we planned on me graduating soon. I'm getting married in the summer, and I will have to continue my hourly wage job.  But like I said, I just gotta work with whatever I have to do.
