college tips from someone who survived their first year, and got themselves off of academic probation

study every day ( reread your notes, run through your flashcards)

it helps to avoid cramming around finals season

do assignments when you get them, it doesn't matter that its not due until the end of the semester, you will forget, you will get busy, you will get caught up with doing something else so do it when you get it, so you won't have to worry about it later

don't study in your bed, its a bad habit, it will make it harder to study and make it harder to sleep

go out at least once a month, to a party, to a club, on a late night walk

carry a knife if its legal ( not just for safety reasons)

join class group mes

go to office hours, even if you don't need to, lie and say you didn't understand something so the professor knows your name

its okay to skip a class occasionally, just never two in a row, and don't make it a habit

Story time: College / American education

To start off, I am a person who loves to learn and I have to have more time on a subject because most times I don't understand or it just doesn't click to me.

I understand the importance of education but my issue is how it is being delivered and taught to people.

In high school I was an a-b honor roll student and sometimes I struggles and other times I excelled. When I graduated, everyone and society told us that "college is your next step, you have to go through college if you want to be successful" and that's what I thought so I immediately went to college.

Everyone hypes it up so much, so I thought it was gonna be just like high school and it would be fun. At first when I was learning and doing my work I thought it was cool until I started failing and I thought "hey I'm just struggling and it's gonna blow over" but it didn't! At this time, I was going through family issues. Still if I said something, they would probably say "sorry but homework is still due"

It kept continuing! Then I had to worry about financial issues and how I was going to stay at the college... they don't tell you about how much you will stress in college about money or having good grades in your classes...

after I kept failing I was on probation and I tried changing my major from radiology to art and psychology which was great for me bc I love art... I thought again it was going to get better,  I even started seeing my school therapist because I seriously needed a therapist but... it wasn't working... the school therapist wasn't working... she didn't help me nor did my situation get better.

I was doing great in my drawings classes but in graphic design and history and other classes, I was doing terrible! Again here we go, I was failing and so was my love for learning, mental health and my self esteem and confidence.

I was on suspension at this point and I legit did not know why this was happening to me! I wondered why my roommate who slacks off the most, watches Netflix all the time and does other stuff continues to get straight a's in their classes while i am trying and continues to fail no matter what I do....

I honestly think our American education is a joke, a waste of time, and a waste of money. Yes I understand why we need college but what am I supposed to do when I and so many other people feel so uninterested in core and other classes....

if I fail or do not get/understand something the teachers and other people think I'm stupid, lazy, and/or there is something wrong with me. I'm at a community College right now and some of it is happening again... sad part is that amid all these things going on... I thought about doing the unthinkable... and still to this day... which is devastating but... after years and years of dealing with this stuff it starts to take a toll on you

why does school teach us things to remember and pass tests to be ready for the real world? when we graduate we either don't remember or it doesn't apply to our daily lives.

I've been watching so much videos about how school is making us lack critical thinking, creativity and other stuff  and how we waste our lives, our mental health, and money for a piece of paper that tells us what kind of title I have. Not to mention the debt that are gifted to us...

I honestly feel like a dollar sign and not a student or young adult who is trying to get to get dream job and learn and go through life at the same time.

Why not teach us something useful like how to change a tire, fill out taxes, how to build credit or something and anything that we can use in the real world.... in some videos other countries are doing better than us in education related stuff, they even have better benefits like free college, free school supplies like textbooks and other stuff. 

Instead wht I've seen so far is money hungry people (some) who don't care about us and just want students to do it no matter what it takes! Why can't it be better? Why can't it benefit students and our health at the same time? Why can't college be free? Or our text books? Think about my story and about all the other students who have to go through this.

Another thing is that when I was in my first year of college... 2 people on my residential floor dropped out in the first year. It could have been anything but my question still stands... why? Why should we suffer? Why can't we learn from other countries? And help our students actually learn....

Again I know the importance of education but why should we suffer? Change education... update it, do something better.... but... when will it change?

You can overcome failure

When I started community college, I failed most of my classes and was even put on academic suspension.

I was a straight A student in high school, and I remember how embarrassing and frustrating it was to be forced to take a semester off because my grades were so bad. I was so humiliated that I didn't even tell my older sisters about it until years after the fact.

I easily could have used that experience to write myself out of academics. I could have told myself that college wasn't the right path for me because I wasn't even good enough to do the beginner courses. But I didn't. I went back and now I'm at my dream university studying what I love with a degree in my sights.

When academic probation or suspension or even just a failing grade hits you, it's really easy to feel alone in your experiences. Nobody likes to talk about their failures. I'm here to share my experience and tell anyone out there struggling that those failures do not define you. They are a wonderful teaching experience when you face them and assess what you could have done differently. What's important is that you remember that there are no dead ends in life. Be flexible in your goals if you absolutely must, but I believe that with determination there is always a way to make your dreams come true.

Let yourself grieve if you've lost a battle, but don't give up on the fight. Talk to someone you love, and talk to a counselor about your options. Even my inbox is open if you want to talk more about what you're going through. You're not alone, and you are capable of great things. Failure doesn't define you.

I was not expecting to do so horrible in college to warrant being placed on academic probation...
