The class I failed in was physics my first year. The class had a really great professor and the students were really bright. Unfortunately(or maybe fortunately) for me, I found my love for starcraft the semester before that. I discovered iccup, met some friends that kept me up, and my attendance plummeted. I think I missed about 2 months worth of class, out of a total of 4 months. Anyways, had to retake the class the following semester, realized I didn't want to major in physics, and got a B+ in it. I'm kind of sad it wasn't an A but oh well, done with that road. I wouldn't recommend it, but it's an experience nevertheless. You should be fine once you just put some effort into it. To a bio-filled summer. | ||

I hate when that shit happens, I ended up getting a C. I wasn't mad at the professor though. He was great. Well I haven't failed a class yet in College. I did have to drop my remedial Math 99 this spring. I'm taking it again right now. Hopefully I pass this time. I have the mathematical capability of a 8th grader =/ My best advice is to buckle down, and just pass man. | ||

Pity passed since they were advanced hahaha. Even fell asleep during my algebra exam. I feel some of your pain, there were 2-3 weeks where I was sure I failed. | ||

I don't regret screwing around and not doing any work first year. | ||

So our first year on campus, we was introduced to the wonderful world of fraternities(AKA sluts and beer). Basically that entire year, we did nothing but drink and fuck unattractive women(nice bodies and ugly faces, but not all were so bad)! Needless to say, we both flunked our first two semesters. We both got put on academic probation, so we figured we needed to clean our shit up. I stopped drinking, but Allen still drank until it made him fat, but only after he did his homework, lol. Allen got his degree in engineering this year and I'm working towards my second degree. You failed one class and we failed an entire year, so don't worry my man! You're not alone . | ||

 I screwed myself up pretty good 2nd year of school; freshman year was ok but sophomore year I just ran out of steam or something. barely scraped a C- in physics, failed calc outright, dropped another course... and that was only first semester lol. second semester I got unofficial withdrawals on 2 classes cuz I didn't show up enough, didn't finish a final project, and missed a final exam. all without the help of either sluts or booze! so yeah. I took this year off to sort things out, trying to transfer to another school. one F though? you have nothing to worry about my friend | ||

Course #1: The final project seemed impossible to find research material for. I talked to my proff and she was like "wtf are you talking about? just check here, here and here, there should be loads of it". Problem is, I had already checked in the aforementioned places, to little avail. I pretty much just put it off, told myself I'd do it after I did all my other projects, then never did it. Course #2: I should have just dropped this course by the withdrawl date. I missed a bunch of school due to several consecutive illnesses. My other courses were ok, I could catch up easily as they came naturally to me (poli sci / economics). This course was a human anthropology / evolution course with some biology in it (never even took bio in high school, did chemistry and physics instead). I fell behind, had my exams deferred until later in the year. Realizing that I could do this gave me no incentive to actually catch up until the very last minute. I actually studied very hard near the end of the term in the hopes of passing, but due to a miscommunication with the proff and gross laziness on my part, I thought certian marks were being deferred that actually weren't and even though I did fairly well on the final I still failed. I was really, really afraid this would kill my gpa and fuck me over in the future, but just today I got accepted into the college I applied for anyway (didn't shoot TOO high, lol), so all is well. It's not like I'm rolling in money, so I wouldn't want to go to a prestigious institution until I'm working on a post-graduate degree anyway. I've just been trying to forge some mental discipline to get myself to REALLY put in maximum effort in the coming years. | ||
