Freshman Year Failure

<p>As all of you can see from the discussion title, I tragically did terrible my first year in college. My first semester I received a 1.5 GPA and my prospective GPA for my second semester is a 1.25 approximately which ultimately leaves me with a 2.12 cumulative GPA. TERRIBLE. All of it was my fault for slacking and not taking it seriously. I failed a Gen Psych course and a Creative Writing course. The Gen Psych course was due to my lack of understanding and Creative Writing is due to my lack of attendance and laziness. I'm retaking my Gen Psych course in the upcoming Fall semester. Basically, I wanted to reach out to the CC community for some advice academically as to how to improve and what to expect. Also, anyone who has been on Academic Probation please please let me know what its like and how to deal with it.</p>

<p>College was a huge transition in my life. High school was so easy, I did nothing and graduated with a 3.6 and well obviously, my high school tactics are reflecting in my college tactis.</p>

<p>So any advice, tips, and suggestions are welcomed.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
