I'm seeing this a lot. People not doing well in school because they don't care enough. Eventually I've decided the easiest advice to give is also the best!

Either improve your work ethics and lead a successful life or play games, go to parties, and work some horrible menial job that you hate. Up to you.

More appropriately let me offer that your college should be advising you on what you need to do in order to get back in. Do you want advice on that or changing your plan entirely? If the latter, then we can't help you based on the OP since you didn't give us any idea what else you might be interested in...

Delete all your games, sell your consoles, trash your "party stuffs", and eliminate all other distractions...

You will be getting A+ in no time!!!

Hi Micronesia:

The advice they gave me is to take fall classes and they will determine it based on my fall grades. I don't want to change my plan entirely because I want to still attend school and see what I could do besides Engineering.

Thanks illu, I will definitely game and party less...hopefully I have learned my lesson.

Only you can decide if you've learned your lesson or not.

Good luck!

If you feel like settling down and working go ahead and go to community college. If not take 1-2 online courses for a couple semesters and go crazy. No reason to commit half ass to community college if you are not ready to quit partying.

There is more wrong with going back to school again, wasting money, and failing out than just partying for another year until you mature more.

If you don't wanna put up with school right now, don't, just make sure that you have something to offer the world on a daily basis that can get you $$ to live on, even if its just physical labor.

I decided to not put up with school unless I wanted to and so far it's worked out great.

If your thinking of changing majors then go around and read descriptions of classes for areas you might be interested in and take what you think you would like. Then do well at those classes so you can be readmitted. Become more disciplined in your studies and if your problem is that you just don't care hopefully you can find something that you can study without feeling that its a burden. If your just not a good student and get discouraged study a lot and do anything you can to get better grades like going to profs for help, study groups, etc.
Never Knows Best.

games are terrible for your study habits, get rid of them. it's really easy to get bored while working and just say "I'll just play one game and get back to work" and end up wasting hours. parties are ok since its not like you can just start partying whenever you're bored. I'm assuming you mean going to actual parties not just "hey lets play beer pong" with your roommate, otherwise you need to stop doing that too

to OP. Look dude, Screw community college. Go get a job in menial labour or retail. Do that for 6 months then go back to College.

Your outlook on life will totally change after taking crap from walking failures every single day.

I recommend swimming as an exercise but seems like you have a breathing problem.

If you arn't passionate about your major, then you are obviously doing the wrong major

If you cant find a passion in academia, then don't bother with academia and get a job etc. If you cant find passion in your job, then its going to be tough shit because everything you get is only going to come out of the effort you put in.

One day you will need to find something that you will want to put effort into, even though it is difficult and extremely hard to do.

---

Different people have different ways of going about this. I do maths at uni, and in my year i really see some people who just geniunely love maths. They can't get enough of it, and i am sure they will go onto to do phd in maths and then become professors etc.

Some people just have a passion to live and survive - they know that they need this degree to move on with life and get a better job, and so they put their ass in and work the hours to get their grades. Some of the foreigners i know get very little financial support, and work their asses off all day for extra jobs, money just to pay for their university and then they work really hard at uni because it is their money that is paying for the degree.

Even in your job, if it is a shit, menial job, that pays minimum wage, if you love the job and put in the effort that is what will count. My mate works as an apprentice hairdresser after leaving school, and he gets paid below minimum wage, works rediculous hours but he LOVES hairdressing. He doesn't want to do anything else - this is his life.
