I'm in my first year of university and I'm already feeling out of my depth and unhappy

Hi, this is my first time on this site so if I make some mistakes,I'm sorry. As the title suggests, I'm in the sixth week of university(first year) and I feel so overwhelmed with everything to the point of randomly feelingike crying. The subjects are hard and I just feel like this isn't for me. Many people have told me that it's normal to feel like this and that'll get better with time, but I feel like the more I try lying to myself that, the more I feel stuck. I would appreciate any advice from an outside source.
