<p>I got accepted into a university this past fall and unfortunately made the decision to focus my time primarily around partying. As if my reflected grades didn't do it, I got suspended for alcohol related violations for the spring semester (private institution, a semester is the smallest duration of a suspension). I had my intentions set on becoming an engineer, but deterred away from that to become a business major to suit my lifestyle (which didn't even work.) It's definitely going hand and hand with my depression, but I'm trying to turn my life around for the better. I took a couple classes this semester, but dropped a few to accommodate a job. More likely than not I should leave my CC with a 4.0.</p>
<p>I don't want to attend CC again because I am an only child and my parents focus too much negative energy on me at home. I can't keep a clear head here for more than a day. Basically my plan has come down to applying to a school which I have 3 alumni relations (2 being my parents, 1 my uncle) and had been previously accepted. I do however feel like they will look past me with my GPA and my past fall semester. Basically I want to go to an institution more centered around academics than social life now, because I know me. </p>
<p>After dealing with the school, the court system, myself, my family, and the police I'm ready to move on and take the positive out of this experience. Academics were always my pride and its almost unreal how my perspective has changed from this. I'm so down and I'm just looking for some advice for the future. If i have to attend CC I will, but in truth I don't know if I can spend another semester here. Fortunately I have some money, so I'm curious if you guys think it would be a better idea to attend a lower ranked school for a year or 2 to work on my GPA. Any advice would help I appreciate it all.</p>
<p>Thank You</p>
