Second year here... Seriously depressed.
I passed first year and comps quite easily and had high hope entering the second year. But now that I started to do some original research for field courses, I began to doubt my research potentials.
For one paper, I thought about some theory and worked on the model for a few weeks... Now I got the data and empirically refuted my idea. For another, I am still struggling to find data...
I am just not sure if I have what it takes to be a successful researcher. Should I drop out? It's not too late yet
