When do you know it's time to throw the towel in?

I don't know if I can do this anymore and I'm only about 60% done with the degree. My grades are extremely mediocre, sub-3.0 GPA, extra effort gets me nowhere with my grades. I think I'm going to fail my first class this semester too which might delay my graduation by another semester (I'll already graduate a semester late due to leave of absence.) I mean I feel like a complete mental midget, I thought I was in the right major because I loved circuits and did well in it but I think I'm just a low test weighting merchant. I haven't done well in any other STEM classes really. I thought it was going great with my other classes this semester but I got a C on a sigsys exam that I thought I did well on. It happens over and over again. Do shit on an exam, cope, so do even worse, cope again, maybe get an 80, I feel good, and then I'll get a 57 and want to drop out. It's not like there's a lot alternative majors here either because I chose a fucking Polytechnic university. Oh god. I feel like I made a horrible mistake.
