I feel like the beginning part can be the hardest as you adjust. I felt like I was gonna have to drop out of uni but somehow I’m still here a year later lol. I expect it’ll get relatively easier as you adjust to it

It sounds like this upcoming mock exam is feeling extremely anxiety-inducing, and I can hear how a part of you wants to leave the college in order to get away. I can imagine that feeling like so much pressure right now, on top of your Dad threatening to take away the cruise too. As @eylah mentioned and @mai too, I wonder whether this mock exam could be an opportunity to identify which parts of the course you feel more and then less confident about, and to get support ahead of the final exam? It's so valid to use mock exams as a form of practice, and to take things from there. I'm hearing though that the thought of sitting the exam and failing right now feels really, really scary and we hear you. May I ask, what are you most afraid might happen in this situation, and what feels like the hardest part?
