Im going to plagiarise a bit from a movie, because you know, good writers borrow and great ones steal, but I think it suits the thread perfectly.
Uni is like quicksand, one minute you're going along and you think everything is going fine. Then you get stuck in the middle of it and you seem to sink deeper and deeper into it. You try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink. Until you can't move... you can't breathe... because you're in over your head. But that's not the quicksand, that's all you. Quicksand cant swallow a person whole, people panic and that's what gets them killed. You just have to relax and try to float horizontal. So with uni, relax and try to float in a horizontal position - it definitely works.
