<p>So, I just found out what my grades are and out of 6 classes I have a C in four of them. I have an A in English and a B in my Biology Lab class. C's are like death to me and I can't help but feel depressed with a 2.5 GPA when in May I graduated with a 3.7 in high school. The C in my Biology lecture class is entirely my fault for lack of studying and note taking but the others just feel unfair when throughout the whole semester I've kept a B in each class. I don't know...I'm just feeling blue right now, I don't even care for the month long winter break, just want to go back and have a better second semester.</p>
<p>THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL! I took 17 credits and got an A, an AB, and 2 C’s, plus an A in my 1 credit class. my GPA is a 2.9. I am soooo frustrated by my grades and can’t wait to get back and give my classes hell next semester and do better! I think if I do worse than a 3.5 next semester I will quit college 
My classes will be slightly easier next semester 'cause I won’t have a math class so I am hopeful though</p>

<p>I laughed out loud.</p>
<p>Quitting is definitely not an option for me as I’ve had only one job which virtually gave me no experience. My classes stay the same as I have to continue taking general biology and general chemistry with labs but I will no longer have English or ethics; instead, I have sociology online and a speaking class.</p>
<p>How were you studying for your classes in general? Did you read chapters before class and review notes/homework often? Why did you do poorly on the finals? Was it lack of studying or were the exams inherently tricky?</p>
<p>Well, in biology he had us do online chapter homework as a way to become familiar with the material he will be teaching the following class. In my chemistry lab class we always had a pre lab to complete before the scheduled lab time, in chemistry lecture class I mostly just wrote down what she had on her power points including the practice problems and the quizzes she assigned online. If a test in chemistry was coming up I usually just practiced more. There was never a test in biology because we had a quiz every Monday for which I prepared for by answering the learning objectives for the week. Ethics is a philosophy class so even if I did the reading I had no idea what it meant but I did do well on the one and only test we took before the final. My C+ in ethics took me by surprise the most because I had a solid 84% in that class without my B on the test in the grade book. I assume I did poorly on the final for it to drop so many percent but I don’t know my actual score. </p>
<p>This turned out to be long, I’m sorry.</p>
