<p>I agree with you. It’s never just about grades, everything else just seems to have fallen apart as well. But I always try to make things better and do whatever it takes.</p>
<p>I was gonna say…wow that’s amazing that professors at berkeley gave you extensions! but I guess you’re not here yet. However, you should register with the disabled students program, and get your doctor’s documentation so that you CAN get extensions when you need it and they can’t judge on whether they believe you or not if your in the program. Some people abuse it though, and if you do, they find out. So don’t do that 
but anyway, I’m really glad you’re bro did that for you. I’ve always felt like my sibling and I have kind of acted distant from like middle school-high school for me but i feel like he/she would be there for me more than my parents ever would. </p>
<p>I never used to understand why parents would become parents if they never really wanted a kid or if they’re not going to love them with all of their heart, and then my parents ended up being like that. I’ve gotten over it for the most part now, but boy was it hard when I first came to college. I still struggle with personal things sometimes and then I realize, I’m in college and nobody thinks of me that way anymore. Those people trying to bring me down…and I get that sometimes friends get jealous and try to break you down, but I don’t understand how your OWN parents would do so. But it’s cool. People are going to see others for who they are, as much as they like to try to put on this happy, perfect family thing. They have nothing figured out, which is a shame.</p>
