<p>So final grades came out today at the community college I dual enroll at and I ended up failing one of my classes with a D, and I have to retake the class. I really wanted to withdraw, but that wasn't possible. I feel like a dumbass. :( </p>
<p>I guess in my defense I took too much (3 tough classes at the high school, 3 college classes). But that's no excuse... my college career is kind of done for now, right? x[ It's ALWAYS the math classes that get me bad grades.</p>
<p>If you were in my position, what would you do? Besides kill yourself/self mutilation? I don't want to go back to a full high school schedule. I was wondering about majoring in Biology but looks like that's not happening.</p>
<p>Yo man, chill with that talk!! I really don’t think it’s funny when people joke about that stuff like it’s nothing serious!
You were dual-enrolled. That shows ambition, and colleges will cut you slack.
Learn from this painful lesson and use it as motivation.</p>
<p>Killing yourself is not the answer; THAT would exemplify defeat/failure.</p>
<p>What most people don’t often acknowledge is how many people are forced to cope with their deaths. Do you want your friends and family to be morose and susceptible to pain because of your impulsive decision to kill yourself due to your poor performance in one class? </p>
<p>You were probably intentionally being overdramatic, but that subject isn’t something to converse about lightly.</p>
<p>Having said that though, there are an array of actions that you can undergo to compensate for your grade. If you received that grade in a Biology course, you could demonstrate your comprehension of the subject by taking the AP and SAT II exams in it. Perhaps you could also adjust your schedule next semester or next year to provide yourself with a greater period of time to complete your assignments and homework. People typically opt to enroll in courses to demonstrate rigor, but you have to comprehend what you can manage effectively. Treat this as a learning lesson and move on. Your life/college career isn’t over, and there’s ample time to make up for your error.</p>
<p>i’m taking fewer college courses next semester. i’m truthfully done with most of my hs classes, so I could spend senior year with total focus on those college classes. It could be worse… least I’m not failing pre GED courses and getting knocked up.</p>
<p>i failed a class PSEO too. i’m retaking it now and i’ll probably end up with a C in the class. i got into two pretty good schools(beloit and willamette w/ scholarship) and i’m waiting to hear back from a few more. don’t sweat it, if your ACT and other stats are solid, it’s okay.</p>
<p>Haha I’m so funny I think I’ll pretend I want to kill myself because I got a D, and then put that in the thread title so lots of people look at my thread! Aren’t you just cracking up right now at how brilliant I am? At my subversive, subtle humor?</p>
I don’t know the OP so I don’t think I should be taking suicide the mention of as a joke (unlike if a friend said it to me in a convo whilst s/he was complaining), people post things like this on the internet and go kill themselves you know…</p>
