I just failed a class for the first time in my life and I’m going to go lay in the street now, how does one cope with this?

Student [handing in his quiz]: “well I’m taking this class again”

Where do I begin? Well, first off last semester kicked my ass. I failed two classes, got two C’s, and a B+. I wanted to mention this because I feel like a lot of people in this community don’t talk about the bad semesters that they have had. They only talk about the good. But sometimes shit happens, and that is okay. It’s okay to fail, but it is not okay to give up.

There were many problems, one of the big ones being that the one of the classes that I got an F in was a time sink. The teacher didn’t like me and he made my life hell.

So many things went wrong...like EVERYTHING ALL OF THE TIME.

But I am going to change how I do things this semester.

1) I am going to make sure that I understand the concepts that were covered THAT week. This seems like such a simple thing, but it is something that I have never done before, I normally put it off or realize that I don’t know something right before the exam. To ensure this I plan on meeting with the professor every week and review my notes frequently.

2) I will start the homework the day that it is assigned. Another simple thing that I tend to over look.

3) Study groups from the very beginning

4) Eat, sleep, exercise! During one of the exams I actually fell asleep. I have no idea how much time I lost. I didn’t eat before my exams so I wasn’t able to concentrate. I did exercise some, but I need more! This helps my brain take a break, but it also helps it process information.

5) Track my time. I need to know where I am investing my time and how much I am time I am giving certain tasks.

I think that this is a pretty good list. Oh yeah, my classes.I am taking comprehensive physics II+lab, orbital mechanics+lab, grown up linear algebra, and oil painting. I need to talk to a professor and see if I can get into the matlab course, (light load). I hope that everyone has a great semester, don’t be like me! Good luck!

1. Don’t Panic: If you’re reading this, you’re upset that you failed the class, and it’s good that you care. Don’t freak out, it’s not the end of the world. You either did or didn’t try your best, but there’s not much you can do about that now. 

2. Meet with an Advisor: There will be two options - either re-take the class, or move on (if it’s not an essential one). The plus-side to retaking is that it’ll be easier the second time around, the downside being that it’s going to take up time you could be using for another class. Moving on is a good option if it’s not going to mess up your GPA. 

3. Make a Plan:First of all, there’s a reason you failed. Figure out what that reason is. Was the class hard? Did you have extenuating circumstances? Or did you just not work hard enough? Regardless of the reason, figure out how you’re not going to fail again. 

4. Don’t Feel Guilty: It’s hard not to feel bad when you’re using your parents money for college, or you’re dealing with insane loans. But, you have to just move on. Continually stressing about it won’t change the failing grade, it’ll more likely contribute to future stress.

You how you feel, when you know you fucked up. I don't mean failed a test, or even an entire course. I mean REALLY fucked up. The kind of fucked up you can only know, if you've been there? Man, that feeling feels really fucked up

I have to fix a problem in my schedule because this school didn't inform me or my study hall teacher I was switches into a class to make up for failing it last year and I was told I was supposed to be in it for over a week and never showed up and I didn't know. This school is so horrible with helping students out.
