I was wondering, do you have any 'study buddies', a small group of other students you can sometimes study with, share ideas and discussions about your studies? I am thinking that a little peer support would be helpful.
When I was young, I was not encouraged to go beyond year 10, such were the attitudes of my parents . As I was given to understand, my going on to finish senior high school, let alone into terriary studies was futile and pointless.
My friend too, had not been encouraged either, though she really was smart and academically minded.
Most kids when I was growing up, did not get past grade 10, and it seemed, only the top few percent were encouraged to continue study, to plan for a career to follow.
That's why I applaud you.
Also, consider, over the last few decades expectations have changed. People are required to have more and more qualifications, even for entry level jobs.
More importantly, I think all the education you can get will be valuable across your entire life.
& as life goes on, you'll likely have noticed already, we never stop learning.
I'm wishing you all the best, but not to neglect some time out. I can't tell you how to fit that in, but please try.
