Is Study Everything?

Recently, I feel like giving up my studies because of two essays that I ve done. Think I must be mentally prepared for next week to get them back. No hope... =(

If I strike lottery, I really want to quit studying cos I am giving myself too much stress... I am a very competitive person. Every assignments is a competition between me and my friends and even strangers. Argghh... This is madness!

Should I just aim for a second lower honours so that I wont be so stressful? Help me...
