Struggling in College. Need some advice!

<p>Hey, everyone. I'm a second year engineering major at a UC, and I've kind of hit an all-time low. I've been doing pretty badly academically, barely passing my math and failing practically all of my physics classes. I've been warned about my poor academic performance and have been given the option to change majors assuming I maintain above a 2.0 GPA until my transition to a new major is completed.</p>

<p>However, I was given this notification late in the quarter (around Week 4 of 10), and it was already too late to change my schedule. I failed my Physics final and I did decently on math, but I'm afraid I might be kicked out due to my F in Physics.</p>

<p>I'm troubled on what to do next. I was planning on sticking around and continuing my education under an Economics major or something, but the possibility of me being kicked out at the end of the quarter brought me to a new realization: should I just drop out, take CC classes to avoid the hefty UC tuition, and re-enroll in a university? Or if prompted to leave, should I appeal and continue my education at a UC under a new major? I'm really lost, and it's been bugging me over the past few weeks, and I'd really like some advice.</p>

<p>I just realized this is the wrong subforum. Trying to figure out how to delete it…</p>

<p>I think you reevaluate your academic objectives. Do you really want to be an engineer? Or was it just an unmediated choice? If you really want to be an engineer, stick it out and study very hard for your physics exams. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.</p>
