So I’m a transfer student. I transferred to a larger university after my second year and finishing up my second semester at the new school. My first semester was pretty rocky and I ended up failing one class and barely passing another with a D which caused my GPA to drop tremendously. Winter break provided some relief and I began making plans to try and do better, but I have ended up in the same situation with the possibility of failing one class and barely passing with a D (finals have not been taken yet but the final examination period begins really soon), I tried my best to get my grades up but I feel like everything I’m trying isn’t working (tutoring, proper time management, etc.) and now that I’m stuck at home I feel like it’s making things worse. There’s a lot on the line with my upcoming finals and it is overwhelming me and I just feel very alone about the situation and I feel like I’ve failed everyone and my worst fear of flunking out of school came true when I transferred.
Hey, don’t have much useful to say but I hear you and am sending you good karma. Having you been reaching out for help? I bet there are those who would help if they knew and you’d let them. Of course a cliche but maybe pick something easy to accomplish/do/finish and let that help you feel a little bit of satisfaction/accomplishment. Also, I there is research that says forgiving ourselves for our failings actually helps us get it together for the next thing.
