Sorry to hear that, breh.
I think people telling you to spend less time on the coli isn't helpful, but they aren't wrong.
Different things work for different people but I think you have to find some sort of structure that allows you personal time to goof around and be a young dude like you are...but also sets time for you to focus on your school work.
Someone mentioned study groups and I think that's a great idea. One reason is that other people can help to motivate you, and it also puts you in touch with other smart people that you can learn from. It's also a pretty good way to meet other girls, so that helps your social life.
But you need a plan and you have to stick to it. I'm not saying it needs to be as boring as a job, but you really have to set time and say "From x-time to -y-time, I'm going to work on this..." and do it.
And you have to go to class. Nobody is going to help you if you don't help yourself. The tools to do well are out there. You just have to reach for them. Talk to a counselor. Talk to others around here that have gone through it. Everyone gets a little dejected about college at some point. And don't worry about being unsure of your major. Nothing is forever anyway.
Keep your head up, breh.
The coli is counting on you.
In a few years, they're gonna be like "Our breh @Illuminatos made it! :blessed:

Just retake the classes if you can, GO TO CLASS, and communicate with your professors if you dont understand any of the information discussed in class. Don't give up just yet, you'll be okay. Goodluck to you.

man, @Illuminatos u gotta do ur best to graduate. the longer u stay in school, the worse shape u are in financially with the student loans. I assume u have student loans. once u graduate and get that first job u are good. no one will EVER give a shyt about what ur grades were. they just wanna know if u got that diploma. And all that matter is experience really once u get going in ur chosen career. hell, my grades were mediocre for the most part, but I finished in 4 years and NEVER dropped or failed any classes. I got mostly B's, with a couple A's and a few C's sprinkled in there. I got out of college as fast as possible, and paid off all my student loans. therefore grad school (at these outrageous prices) ain't even worth it to me. I'm not gonna drop 50K to make like 5K per more a year. It will take me 10 years to make that money up. and I have always been able to get higher and higher paying jobs throughout life with the current education I have anyways so fukk it.

Jokes aside, you gotta stay focused. I didn't do well in CC and stuck working retail now and grinding to go up the management ladder. You may not always have success, but the failures will help you on the way there. Get a few wins and then tell your dad so he can see you're trying your best to improve the situation. Maybe take less classes or rearrange your schedule so it's not so hectic. Maybe he can give you some feedback or relate. He's gonna care about you more than us. Not like we want you to fail anyways. Stay focus and everything will fall in place.

You better link up with them foreign kids at your school, they be having study guides, old test, old notes, and know which teachers are the easiest for classes.

Was going to dump on you until I read that last paragraph and felt bad.

You've gotten burned out. If you go back this semester and show no improvement, you're looking at academic probation and then possibly academic suspension, or worst, dismissal. Take the year off to get your head right. Tell your folks you need a break. Get a job and leave the books alone for a year or so. Sometimes, we reach a point where we can't push through the burn out, and you're there. Seems like your personal life has taken a blow, too. If you're that unhappy with it, there's no way you're going to succeed or be able to focus on books. No school for a year, stack some cash, and hit the gym. We all need a break sometimes and there's no shame in acknowledging that.

About to go into my 3rd year of college and I currently have a 2.22 GPA. :to:

Idk what happened between my senior year of high school and my first semester in college but it's been a struggle breh. :to:

I just lost all motivation to do my school work. My last semester grades were:

Biology: F
Anthropology: F
Accounting: D+
Computing: C+

Pathetic. I claimed I wanted to do Accounting and I ended up not going to class for the last month or so. fukking sad man. :snoop:

Biology 2 was a joke. I got a B+ in Biology 1 and said that this class would probably be interesting so I took it. :ehh: Ended up gettin lost after the first week and said fukk it. Stopped going to lectures and just went to lab. I missed the midterm because I forgot what day it was. I still don't know what I got for the Final but I know it's an F. :snoop:

My dad has no idea. He thinks I got a 3.40 GPA and he even made me fill out applications to go to other colleges and he expects that I'm going to get accepted. Pathetic. :sadbron:

Idk what to do anymore I'm close to just saying fukk it and just giving up. I just straight up feel like a fukking failure. Broke, p*ssyless and dumb as rocks. I can't take this shyt anymore brehs. Is it too late to turn this shyt around or do I still have time to turn this around?:to:
drop out and go do something until you realize your need for college
then go back

I graduated from the House a couple years ago and worked for two corporate jobs since then and neither has ever asked for my transcript/grades/GPA. Just get your degree, set some goals & plans, get your mind right and most likely your hanging around the wrong people. shyt seems fun at first but it gets tiring fast. A lot of people go through what your going through so don't be discourage just do better. Best of luck.
i went to the House too :krs::myman:

How'd you fail Anthropology?

And what kind of anthropology? I can see someone failing maybe....forensic anthropology...but if we're talking like, a very basic anthropology course than damn dude....:merchant:

Hell...how'd you get the C+ in Computing? shyt looks like a miracle considering your other grades....:heh:

Considering our history, I was gonna hate.... but am too intrigued....:leon:
