<p>I'm a second semester freshman and next year I am moving to Ohio. I dread the university I am at right now and this past semester has been complete hell for me. I made the dumb mistake of going to college 45 minutes away from my place I call home. It is where I grew up my whole life, where my family resides, where 90% of my friends are, and where I have a year long relationship with my girlfriend. I have spread myself too thin on multiple levels with trying to balance my family, friends, and girlfriend and it has effected my schooling. Instead of making college my life, I made it a part of my life putting everything I left behind at home before college. </p>
<p>So because of that, I ended up flunking every one of my classes 1st semester. I'm not dumb by any means. I've been on debate teams since my freshman year in high school and have a scholarship to debate in college. I work as a professional light designer on my off time, or like last semester, I worked on college on my off time. </p>
<p>Any ways, I know I screwed up big time and I plan on attending college in Ohio (or atleast trying to) and I know it hardly ever happens to have your academic slate wiped clean. It follows you into the depths of hell. So my question is this: What can I do in this last semester to make it possible to attend college in Ohio and/or not destroy my chances of having a decent career?</p>
