<p>I've always considered myself a smart student, and I believe I could get all A's. But my academics show otherwise. Freshman year my GPA is around a 3.5 with 2 honors classes. I slacked off the majority of the year and really got off to a bad start but vowed that I'd change everything around during the first semester of Sophomore year.However I've failed miserably.</p>

<p>Every time I come I procrastinate and then sleep telling myself tomorrow I'll do better, Or I'm worried about other issues and I struggle with depression. I'm capable of doing so much better and I realize that but why can't I improve. It's really frustrating me to see my future slip away with it being all my fault. I'm so much better then this. </p>
<p>Even with a rough start, if from 2nd semester I start to improve my grades and get above a 4.0 is a UC college still realistic?</p>
<p>What are effective changes that you suggest I can take to turn around my academics?</p>
<p>Thanks guys, I'm really stressed at the moment and I just need some help.</p>
<p>I can’t sleep with all this stress, bump</p>
<p>Hey dude, what I want you to do first is calm down. Settle yourself and focus, you want to get into a good college and it IS VERY POSSIBLE. As reiterated about a million times, colleges love upward trends, and you most definitely can do it. Your grades have room for improvement, and I have confidence in you to fulfill your goal, because you’re taking the initiative to make it possible. Let’s do this grassroots style, as you’ve stated, you procrastinate. Let’s start there, what has worked for me is a schedule, be frank with yourself and complete all your homework in 4 hours or less. Your classes are not too advanced, so I can’t imagine it would take more than that or even come close to that. If you want, PM me, and we can work it through together. Next is depression and your other issues, PM me what the problem is, and I’ll try my best to advise you in order to rid you of those problems as I’ve been through plenty of crap. Keep settled bro, don’t go on trains of thought that you know will crash. I have to go now, but please I want to help get rid of your stress. I’ll be in touch. :)</p>
