Studying Architecture - 2nd Year

I am studying architecture - I am not young - it is very difficult with so much to learn, both from a philosophical design point of view, as well as technical and time management challenges. Each study period is a rollercoaster ride of not knowing what you are doing, why you are doing it, being judged, yet still learning and trying and doing your best.  Sometimes coming up short, but knowing you were up at 4am, in bed at 2am, fighting the software, the fog of knowledge, and paying for the privilege.
