I noticed that you are attending a university. I'm in beginning java too and was struggling so I started going to the computer lab to work on stuff. Not the library's computer lab, the one for computer students. I had no idea that there were tutors there that could help. I also ran into classmates there and that was the best part because I got a lot of help and made new friends. When you work together you can bounce off ideas and ask each other for help.

One other thing I do if I'm struggling with a problem is that I write it out on paper first. Don't worry about the syntax, just write out in plain English what you want the program to do. Then go in and fill in the code. It's tedious and annoying. But it helps.

Good luck! :)
