depressing GPA :( help

<p>NEVER in my life have I EVER felt this melancholy. Today I completed my alg2/trig H exam...and my grades have dropped big time. In alg 2 I had a 79.9 (B-) and now it is a 78.78! (C+) :( I have never had a C in my life!! I know I have much to be thankful for and my life is good overall but this is just so depressing. This will only make my chances at NU worse and my mom's trust in me decline. I feel like a failure. </p>

<p>Predicted GPA:
English: A- (if I study hard today)
Chemistry: B-
Spanish: B
AP Euro: B (can change to A if I get a 5 on May exam)
Alg2/Trig H: C+
Religion: B+ (may be an A- because I have to turn in 1 assignment)</p>

<p>This is a 3.0, right?? :(</p>

<p>My parents are also divorcing officially now and I feel like I've let everyone down..I have only made a larger burden for my "family." Gah..</p>

<p>I know my low grades are largely my own fault and I need to do well for the second semester! I am yearning for a 4.0 I know I have the brains to do it. This will heal my connection with my mom. The only thing is that sometimes I feel weak, especially now more than ever. </p>

<p>Please..is there any any advice on what to do? I am desperate! I feel like crying but I can't now because I must study for the rest of my finals. I am sorry for the dribble but thank you very much for reading this.</p>

<p>Seems like you know what's your problem and how to tackle it!
I'm sorry at hearing that. Don't think it that way.
The best advice: just give yourself some times and take a break. Getting a C will not make you die quicker or something okay? :)</p>

<p>Midterm/Finals time is usually a stressful time for everyone, a time where a lot of students feel as if they have hit rock bottom. Since you just completed the exam, there isn't much you can do to repair that grade now, so just make an effort to do better in the future, because there is no use in deeply concerning yourself with it anymore, move on. A single C does not make you a failure, so get out of this mentality.</p>

<p>If your parents are divorcing, don't blame it on yourself. This situation already adds tons of stress to your load. I suggest that you take a break away from studying for a while to relax.</p>

<p>You're probably using your post to vent, and that is healthy too. Perhaps if you come back in a few days to it, your feelings might have changed. If not and you are still feeling deeply depressed, then it's time to seek some professional.</p>

<p>I have been feeling depressed since the mid December and I feel worse every day. I am extremely worried about the divorce because I don't know how I will survive with my mom. She doesn't have a job and she has no college degree. She is only beginning cc and has awhile to go. I don't know how we can pay off the house, pay for my school, or for college. We will have to go through a BIG change.</p>

<p>DO I still have any chance at NU? Though my grades are so low, I actually have very good SAT scores. I am so worried about my future and the future of my mom.</p>

<p>dude, post in the Parents Forum....</p>

<p>study buddy!</p>

<p>So if I bring my GPA up, can I still be accepted into NU?</p>
