<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

This is my first post on reddit and although I have been on reddit for a little under a year, I never felt that I needed an account till today. Now I'm asking the reddit community to help me in my hard times.

So basically I attend public university and I have a 1.7 GPA. (Btw, I'm a freshmen moving up to being a sophmore). I've been on academic probation for 2 quarters and am currently taking summer. I thought that if I did well this summer that I could raise my GPA and get out of academic probation. However, I just got a D in the first of a four quarter physics series which really questions me in my pursuit of a degree in engineering and education in general. I don't know if I should just drop out of college because it seems like I won't succeed or just try to struggle through it. To clarify, I don't party, drink, smoke, and I'm pretty antisocial which I'm fine with. I also quit games so that I could study more but it hasn't been working. My mom would be heartbroken if I dropped out of college, but college is so hard and stressful that I don't know what to do. So, should I drop out of college? If I drop out of college, what should I do? Does college get better as the years go on?
<bot>: Should I drop out of college because of I'm currently failing academically or just endure? If I do drop out, what should I do?
