It is an undergraduate degree (bachelors). I appreciate the reply, but "just get it done" is easier said than done for me - but you couldn't know:) I do what is possible for me. Sooner than later things get sorted out by themselves when I either make it or they kick me out. I don't know what's next then either way.

But you're definitely right, civil eng is quite broad and I have done jobs within it that I was good at and where I had fun. Bachelors thesis will be something about printing concrete.

It took me 9 years to get my UG degree done. You'll get there, don't give up :)

Within civil eng (at least for my uni) students usually don't take more time than they have to. People finish left and right. It's easy for me to overlook the fact that it's just fine if it takes longer. So it's important to just get reminded from outside the bubble that this can in fact be normal. Thank you! :)
