I feel like a fucking failure.
Currently juggling between a demanding as fuck web dev internship working 24 hours a week and 4 uni classes, and I'm failing every single class left and right. I have three exams today and just got out from the first which was an absolute train wreck.
I'm so fucking depressed. This is my fourth year at uni and I need to take 15 more classes in order to graduate, not including these.
I was thinking of taking a break, but taking more than 5 years to graduate makes me feel nothing more than a failure, and it's utterly soul crushing. Not to mention the disapproval I'll get from my parents who are already scolding me for not having graduated in 4 years.
What the fuck can I do? I feel completely defeated...

You are feeling stressed because you you don't accept the world as it is but instead try to force it to be the way you think it should be.
Stop trying to impress people. Stop trying to control everything.

That's some of the stupidest shit I have ever read in my life. If you're not setting hurdles for yourself how the hell are you ever going to jump higher? You have to strike a balance between what you CAN do vs what you WANT to do. Basically, don't set the hurdle too high. OP, if you don't want to do what you're going to school for, go get a certification in a trade. The economy is heading in that direction anyway. There are ootions out there for you, you just have to be stern and realistic with yourself. Always challenge yourself, but don't overdo it. And don't listen to people like the author of that huffpo article that tell you to "just chill bro". Just because they got to where they are riding on a more successful and talented person's coattails doesn't mean you will. Push and push and push, but when your leg cramps up, take some weight off the load and rest a bit. Get what I'm saying?

You can accept the reality as it is and still improve yourself.
You just don't tell yourself "I HAVE TO do this or I will be miserable!" but instead you think "I will try my best but if it doesn't work out I know I did all I could and life goes on"
