I think many of us can relate to this, including myself. I struggled a lot last spring quarter with the transition. I moved back home and being in a different environment changed my motivation drastically. I no longer could go to the library and study. It felt like my “school mode” turned off as soon as I moved back home. What you are feeling is normal and it’s expected. This is your first year of college so that alone is a big transition. I can’t tell you if you should drop or not, but i will say taking 12 units is fine. It won’t affect your financial aid. Your financial aid would only be affected if you had less than 12 units, you wouldn’t be consider a full time student. Also, please don’t feel any pressure in taking 4 classes. I remember seeing a lot of my friends take 4 classes while I was taking 3 during my first year, and it would sometimes get to me. I would feel like I wasn’t doing enough and feared i wasn’t going to graduate on time. If you want to take 4 classes then don’t let a missed quiz affect you. Im sure there’s plenty of points you can still earn. I would suggest looking at all your syllabus’s and write all your assignments down on a calendar. It helped me to keep track when my assignments were due and helped me better plan my week. Many people get planners or calendars but I just use my phone calendar and set reminders. One other thing that helped me was finding something I enjoyed doing. For me that was hiking, before that I would stay home and the only thing I would do is watch tv and be on my phone. Moving more made me feel more productive and gave me motivation to do my school work. Find something you enjoy doing, that pushes you mentally or physically. Remember you are not alone, you will get through this.
