I have seen a lot of students asking about switching and wanting to switch because they’re not really interested or it’s too hard and they don’t want to do it but my question is did any of you SERIOUSLY like REALLY consider switching not just saying it out of frustration for ANY other reason? Because none of the posts other students make are actually my situation. The context here is I truly enjoy engineering and I am not confused I actually do understand the material but I completely choke and make stupid mistakes under pressure. (Think like flipping a number from the calculator when actually writing on paper. Or doing something backwards, realizing something doesn’t look right but continuing) My dilemma is it doesn’t matter that I can understand things and execute problems well outside of exams but the entire point of school and the main portion of the grade relies on actually showing that on the exams. I have searched for any posts about my situation but it doesn’t seem to be common. I have not failed a class so far but I finished finals and we’re still waiting on grade release so I can’t say that will stay true after this semster. So my question for all of you is was there ever truly a time you seriously considered dropping out other than the main reasons others do or have? How did you overcome that?
