<p>Well finals are coming up and I know that I am not going to do very good in 3/5 of my classes. At best I could probably get D's or D+'s in those 3 classes, at worst I may fail a couple of them. My other two classes I will get high B's or low A's in. Is this going to screw me for the next few years, I just spent the last half hour crying and it took my mom to tell me that there is a point at what I'm doing. </p>
<p>I dont know how to study hardly at all, the only thing I really excel at is putting out a really good paper quickly, and the two classes I am doing good in are paper classes. I'm not sure how to feel right now. I feel as if my life is coming down on me, and on the drive back to campus from my hometown I considered just driving off the road, im not suicidal or anything, I just wanted something to distract me from finals. I realize now that was stupid to even think of at the time. I just feel like this is the end of the world for me, and I dont know if this is a hole I can get out of in the future, I still have 3 more semesters after this, and I may only get a 1.8GPA for this semester.</p>
<p>Everyone has a bad point in something in their lives. The best thing for you to do is to analyze why you can’t study, what you should have done differently, and then apply it through the rest of your college career.</p>
<p>It doesn’t look good, but a semester of bad grades followed by years of good grades is still pretty fine. It shows that you’re not incapable of doing work, hell if anything it shows you can identify what your weaknesses are and then improve upon them.</p>
<p>Well I’m doing better today, realized that one of the classes im doing terrible in will drop my lowest exam score after the final, so if i do decent on the final then maybe I wont do too bad.</p>
<p>The reason I am struggling is because this is my first year at a big college. My college has almost 30k students at it and im not used to it. I also have never been away from home either. I am starting to get a hand on things such as my grades, this was because I was really lazy at the beginning of the semester.</p>
<p>I would really urge you to visit the study skills center if possible, though, because talking to someone about what you’ve been doing and what you need to change can be helpful since you get an outside perspective. Things don’t change overnite, but if you commit yourself then you can do it!</p>
