Screw that. If you can get through it you will be fine. Even if you can't or decide you don't want to you will be fine but life is a lot of work either way and it can wear you down.

I gave up. Stopped going. Dropped out. That was a mistake. (Or maybe it wasn't) It took me roughly ten years to recover and get back to what I had originally wanted to do. Is programming what you want to do? Not school, but creating something with your mind and a text editor? If so keep at it. If not then find something else because life is actually really short.
