I didn't learn how to study properly until I think my third year in Uni. I failed 3/6 subjects in my third semester at uni, after that I pushed through more easily. Sometimes we got to take a step back to continue moving forward. Maybe you are attacking the course in the wrong way, sometimes all it takes is one little push to barge your way through! I'm an engineer working at a big international company, but I want to open my own little restaurant one day. Life is what you want it to be, not someone else.
