-- Posted by Anonymous at 6:52 pm on May 14, 2008 My first semester of college, I failed everything because i never opened a book admittedly i was wrong and it wasn't at all like highschool.  SO my next semester i took two out of the 3 classes i was failing and focused on them both.  I was more determined to pass them with the thought i was acing my computer lit class.  I asked everyday how i was doing and she pretty much ignored me well what i didn't realize is when i was out a few days with pneumonia i missed like 4 assignments.  With them lingering along with poor test grades i got like a 58 in the class after handing in allll my assignments that i was missing.  I still ended up failing by a freaking point.   I'm visually impaired so i had the commission for the visually impaired paying my way, but i now only have a 1.0 and they won't continue to pay until i get above 2.0.  SO now i'm horrified trying to come up with  the money for spring.  I only get 450 a month and my summer course will be 470 so i'm gonna like borrow 20 from my mom.  But idk how i'm going to pay the over a grand in the spring.  GOing to work and save my money and hope that i can pass and get over a 2.0 I am just fucked.  I can't believe that i focused on the stuff i failed and ended up failing the class i thought i could ace.  just scared disappointed and horrified right now  Oh and FYI i did pass the classes i originally failed. -- Posted by Another Chance at 6:53 pm on May 14, 2008 Prcastination will get ya.

Why weren't you on top of your grade? Usually college students are. -- Posted by Anonymous at 6:56 pm on May 14, 2008 Because i went on the website where she was suppose to post the assignments and grades.  She never updated it I went to her and she never told me i was missing anything.   -- Posted by bluerosedangel at 7:06 am on May 23, 2008 Can you apply for financial aid? -- Posted by Uruz 7 at 7:26 pm on June 22, 2008 Its a great thing you passed the one you originally failed  . .  at least something did get through . . There is also something very important we have to consider - balance. Take things slowly one hour at a time, 1 topic at a time, more importantly don't waste your time doing less important things .. Health of course comes first. . . It would be a good idea to work part time, if it doesn't put too much strain on you. More importantly, I believe it would be a good idea to have someone with you in this, that can be reached anytime, your parents a friend, that really helps emotionally. . . Well, suck it up for now, things will get better soon, it seems like the college itself is kinda messed up . . Either way, don't push yourself too hard, take time to let out the stress, then get back to what you have to do . . .
