I was forced to admit for the first time, this afternoon, that I am, in fact, failing out of college.
At our hockey game tonight, talk turned to a few of our varsity team's players possibly coming to our team because of eligibility issues (they couldn't maintain the mandatory GPA. Our league doesn't have those restrictions). The coach then said that several of our players wouldn't be eligible if the league we were in was ran by those rules. When I got home, I checked, and what I saw was worse than I'd even thought. I am currently not passing a single class. I knew that I wasn't doing well. In high school, I was the kid that never had to study and still got good grades. College, as some of you may know, is extremely different. That, in addition to a lot of emotional problems that have been going on with me lately, have led to some VERY poor grades. At this point, with the semester being over in about a month, it looks like it's too late, and I'm pretty much screwed. I brought it on myself, really; I was too arrogant to study enough like I should have, and then I kinda stopped going to classes lately because of the absolute shitstorm that has become my life. I knew I wasn't doing great, and planned on transferring to a community college next year while I got my act together (I'm at West Chester University next year) in an attempt to save some money. Now, however, I have another concern. I completely bombed my last year of high school, and my parents were reluctant to send me to college as a result. My mom told me that if I brought home the same kind of grades in college as I did last year, I'd be on my own. Ironically, I'm doing considerably worse now. Which means that it looks like I'm gonna be kicked out sometime around Christmas. Despite it being completely my fault, I really don't know what to do, and added to everything else that I've had to deal with lately, I'm seriously on the verge of a mental breakdown. Guess I just kinda needed to get that out. Any advice would be appreciated, too, although it really seems like there's nothing left to do. |

I don't know what the emotional issues were, but for the being on your own part be sure to apply for any financial aid you can get and study your ass off next semester. You can try pleading the case with your folks but fixing it yourelf will probably earn more respect.
Ask your professors if there is any extra credit you can do to save your grades. Might help. |
