My first semester at college I was enrolled at a university, and I did pretty well. Got okay but not bad grades, and then the next semester I moved in with my father and decided to go to a cheaper, community college.
It was such a change, and apparently I didn’t get the memo enough. Instead of doing most of the work in class and having the rest as homework, all of the classes I took notes and did everything else at home unless it was exam day. I’ve got a bad attention span, so it was difficult. Also I don’t like asking for help and keep everything to my self so I was suffering in silence.
Then, I got a job. I needed the money, but that just added to my problems. Now, instead of doing my homework at night, I went to work 4-5 days out of the week. And it was all just straight downhill from there. I couldn’t get myself to try, I was so burnt out of everything and I ended up failing all of the classes besides one.
So now my GPA is a 1.82, which isn’t enough to put me on probation, but it is enough to stop financial aid from coming in.
I really fucked myself over. Luckily I have this summer to take a breather, I haven’t had one in a couple years given I went to basic training and AIT the last couple summers for the Army Reserves during high school.
I’m really worried I’m not gonna be able to fix this, I know it’s possible but I’ve got to figure out how.
Tl;dr I failed some classes and now I’ve fucked my GPA over.
