You haven’t got long of uni left – so I would grit your teeth and bang it out. If you get kicked out for not passing tests then you need to go balls to the wall and pick it up, maybe speak to a professor or pastoral care for additional help or to explain your situation.
The only people I know who’ve done well after dropping out are people who had a skill or passion to begin with, like builders or programmers.
If you can go to the library from 8am-8pm everyday and turn your grades around, then you’ll have some stability and you can look to join or start a Spanish music society or band. But you gotta do the work first.
Yes
Do NOT just go to the library from 8am-8pm. Talk with the right people, come up with a realistic plan to succeed (If that is your goal), and develop smart study habits accordingly.
I recommend you search Pomodoro study techniques and space out your study sessions into meaningful 30 minute-1 hour intervals. Unplug your X box, and see if you can find a local office share space that is your dedicated area to attack your subjects.
Alternatively, if this is not your passion, then it could all be an uphill battle. Maybe ask yourself why you wanted to do this in the first place.
Keep fighting
Just take less classes and go to every class. Don’t give up unless you want to really spend the rest of your life saying why did I quit
Get to a “save point” before you consider quitting. Maybe you’ll need to reduce your course load and only take 1-2 courses at a time, but at least finish a two year diploma.
