amiami19 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I failed....4 classes....this semester! I am not going to be anything! I failed...and I thought ..it's okay I'll just start over and do this and that..but there is no WAY I am getting into any other school to be anything decent.... what am I going to do ? This is MY LIFE.... I am nothing... now.. I feel so alone... anywhere I turn too I just get kicked while I am down.. I don't know what to do... When people say "you can do anything, don't let others get in your way" they ... didn't mean it. =( Link to comment
stingray Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 You will be put on suspension pending most often and allowed to take classes next semester but if you do bad then they will kick you out. It all depends on your school... Link to comment

amiami19 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 I know that... it still doesn't make me feel any less of an idiot and looser. Link to comment

dreamwarrior Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Perhaps if you talk with a school couselor about your personal issues it might help you be able to deal with your school life better and perhaps they may give you another chance. Link to comment
Keyman Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Well, you have a choice... 1) Wallow in self pity and negativity, which will end up leading you to nothing. 2) Grab hold of the positive and work your way out of the pit of despair you say your life is in. Here's a story of how I failed my tertiary studies... After high school, I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I was good at maths and crap at English. I liked technical things and sport, but also liked scholarly past times like chess. My parents decided to help out and put me into a tertiary institute to do a business course, as I was good at accounting. I did really well in accounting, but failed in Economics and law twice! I had a choice, I could wallow in the fact that I was a failure and just live with it, or try to find something I could do. I decided that accounting and business wasn't where I wanted to head, so I transferred into an IT program. Now, almost 20 years later, I'm a project manager earning nearly 6 figures. In my spare time I am writing novels and I am enjoying life (except for a recent spate of bad relationships). I know likely you are just venting... But as my mother always used to say, when one door closes, another, better door opens. Go find your better door... Link to comment
Nkaleidoscopic Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I did too. But its okay. Talk to an academic counselor about your depression, maybe take a break, try to treat and assess the problem, and come back. The college wants you to succeed, and if you have a problem they will try to help you. If not, there are lots of other opportunities out there. Link to comment
rainyday Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 listen, it seems like you've recently begun university/college i've had the same experience, and was placed on academic parole. the next semester i smartened up and pulled my grades up. i was seriously depressed, like watching the sun in the morning until it sets, doing absolutely nothing. i would also wake up feeling emptiness and not even go to class. for me the solution was removing myself from dorm. find a source of your depression, or reason why you are not doing well in your courses. and fix it.

Jambalaya Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I never graduated and I make 120,000 a year. School doesnt define you, you define yourself. Dont let a bunch of stuck up college * * * * * s tell you what you can and cant do. Yes it does suck to fail at courses but it doesnt mean you will be nothing. You go to school to learn, and you learned that you dont like school. That sounds like you acomplished your goal. This way it wont always be a question in the back of your mind. If you take some time off school, work and do some research into the field that you are interested in maybe you can come back to school with a new purpose, or if you find a job that you like, they may even help you pay for it. I know its haard to deal with depression and sleep usually seems to be the only time when the pain is gone but if you learn to accept your failures as learing experiences your life will be a lot better. Most of us spend a lot more time fixing our failures than basking in the glory of our success. Dont get caught up in it, keep your feet moving and dont let people bring you down, and dont chase too much. Just enjoy the opportunities that present themselves to you and you will get through this.
