i'm shtupid so i need a pep talk

<p>i'm a failure at life and i have the worst gpa in the world but i'm in love with georgetown and i really want to goooooo :( i don't think i'm going to get into ANY of my good colleges which are emory georgetown and boston college because of my gpa. and its like i have everything else, man. i have my ECs and the SAT's and SAT2's and good recs and i love writing so my essays are cool and like everything i need. i even take all those stupid AP's but i always get B's but i'm failing my on-level calculus class because i'm stupid and senioritis needs to go away. It's just like, gpa is the one thing i can never control it always just goes way over my head. And whoa, first semester is going to be over like like 5 days and its all good but i'm going to have the entire 2nd semester to worry and worry and regret everything that my gpa didn't work out like EVER and wish i could turn back time but even if i did, i'd still probably end up the same way. i'm so sad and stressed and wish i could move to lala land where none of this should matter :(</p>

<p>You need chocolate :-(</p>

<p>i'm eating croissants. its the closest thing i have to chocolate</p>

<p>Well first of all - don't worry too much about it. You've got good SAT scores and ECs, and I'm sure your GPA isn't as bad as you're making it out to be. Believe me, as someone who slips and slides in academics ALL THE TIME, stressing over it will only make it worse. Just finish out your semester with a bang and vow to yourself to do better next semester, and you'll be okay. Wherever you end up going, I'm sure you'll find a way to be happy.</p>

<p>i'm getting a 3.0 this semester. worst ever. but i do hope youre right :/</p>

<p>thats not bad. I know this kid Teddy that got into Georgetown with a low gpa, like 3.1 or 3.2. But his dad went there and was roommates with president Clinton, and both his older sisters went there. But I'm just saying you have a chance.</p>

<p>i have connections too, i'm getting a recommendation from the athletic director and i'm sending in a musical supplement which this voice teacher lady i know will see, and she likes me. but that doesn't make up for a bad gpa :(, although it gives me hope. i just hope i'm waitlisted. then i'll bombard them with extra essays</p>
