[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 388820, member: 57"] where to start. ok first off. do you know what you want to do? Like are you deadset on a specific major and career? i still to this day dont know what i want to do. what is your major anyway? if you dont know what you are in school for, you can use your electives to explore areas of interest OR just take some time off and figure it out. work a while. i wish i had done this. i was just spinning my wheels trying to figure it out and never did. second, it has seemed to me for a while that you are depressed. ive hinted at this before, encouraging you to get out and meet people and make some new friends that can help keep your mind off home. when you are at college you just have to put home behind you and focus. believe me i know. i was totally depressed in college (now i'm severely depressed but thats a different thread) and lots of people get that way. you are no good to yourself or anyone else like that, buts its not as simple as just getting over it. i wish i had seen a counselor or somebody about it. instead i went from straight A's and eventually wound up with a 2.3 and by that point it was nearly impossible to bring up any b/c i had accumulated so many hours. need a 2.5 to go into education, so that didnt happen. physics and chemistry seem to be the courses that people fail most often. it seems as if people are only good at one or the other. i must be a physics person because [b]CLEARLY[/b] i am not a chemistry person. [b]CLEARLY[/b].in fact my sophomore year (which by the way is the hardest statistically-- people go thru a lot of changes this year) i was failing chemistry miserably as was my roommate and best friend. we all had Fs. one of our good friends who went to college there as well got killed in a car accident and we had to postpone our final so we could attend her funeral. the night before the final we were all studying and i was like this is pointless. so i got drunk off my butt and went to bed. they stayed up studying all night. i had no idea what the final was even talking about. i came out of the course with a D and they both failed. dont ask me how. lol, i have been there. i even had my mail routed to go to my address at college so my parents didnt have to know about my grades. the way it works here is that if you fall below a standard gpa you get put on probation for a semester. if you dont bring it up that semester, then you get the boot. so were you already on probation and if so why? i dont think you were partying too hard. and you seem to be smart enough to cut the mustard. so i lean toward the depression/preoccupation with home. and maybe some lack of direction.probably a little bit of non interest in core courses as well. once you get into your major course you will enjoy them a lot more. i have several more points to expand on but i'm sorta rambling now so i'll submit and think on it some more. i can totally relate though.
