Title: Missed my OOP lab quiz, failed midterm, and now I feel like I can’t do CS anymore
​
I’m in my CS degree (2nd year), and honestly I feel completely stuck right now.
I missed my OOP lab quiz yesterday. I thought there might not be a quiz because students were unsure, and by the time I wanted to go, I was already late. I got scared of entering the class 20 minutes late because the teacher is very strict and honestly intimidating.
Now I’m regretting it a lot.
On top of that:
- I already failed my OOP midterm
- My quizzes are average
- Assignments and lab tasks are okay, but not amazing
It’s also the last few weeks of the semester, so everything feels like it’s already over for me.
I’m also struggling with programming in general. I feel like I don’t understand it properly, and that’s making me think I chose the wrong degree. I keep thinking maybe I should change my department because I can’t handle this pressure anymore.
Right now I just feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and honestly like I’m not good enough for this field.
Has anyone gone through something similar in CS? Is this normal in the first years or am I actually just not suited for this?
