Messed up severely first semester of college

[Uninspired123]

lmao OP, you're a failure

and 140 pounds, do u even lift?

[Fire8085]

Freshman courses for any major/undeclared are relatively easy.

Hardest being involved in the hard sciences.

Get a 4.0, no excuses. Don't **** your life up.

[Engineer_Mike]

I know a few people who did bad at the start and are doing very well now.

Ignore these asswipes OP. They're just jelly they have no friends and didn't get to party/smoke/drink. It's easy to act hard online without having a social life like 80% of the misc.

[CCAurora]

I had no intentions of giving some bullshiit excuse. I'm gunna man up and just tell them exactly why I failed, and what my intentions are for next semester provided they keep me enrolled. If it's not good enough for them I belong else where.

LMFAO

"I failed because I drank tons of alcohol and smoked tons of weed... and I'm 18. Obviously, I deserve a second chance for no apparent reason over tons of 18 year olds who would never fuk up half as bad as I already have."

[Trapstar4.4]

hang in there OP
my first semester of college i got straight C's. feltbadman. I continued to treat it like it was high school. I quickly learned that college required studying if i was going to do anything significant

almost never got a C again. if you eff up next semester also (after this realization) then you probably wont make it

[jmack549]

Good luck in your bowl game this year brah.

[castleinvestor]

op if youre still checking this, you can recover from it. i completely destroyed myself my first semester, came back and recovered b/c i got my priorities straightened out. that first semester was amazing though lolz.

[cncman]

Good luck in your bowl game this year brah.

Alabama: the most overrated team in the country this year.

I turned down a $65,000 scholarship to texas A&M and now I have a 3.77 GPA at a better college.

U mad?

Gjdm.

I turned down 70k at A&M, finished first semester at a better college with a 3.94.

[Starred]

I dont feel bad for op at all. He was egging on some miscer that clean streets for a living.

lmfao

OP IS A ***GOT

[faddy5624]

This could damn well be the best thing to happen to me, however if I get back in it won't be a waste of my time and money.

I'm not getting a fukking geology degree. You get as much out of college as you put in. Slide by with a 2.0 in a geology degree and I'd end up a fukking geology teacher. Bust ass and get a solid engineering or business degree, intern, and it's not a waste of time.

need at least a 3.0 to even have your resume looked at for a business internship. Need at least a 3.5 to be seriously considered.

[judowrestler1]

u mad OP

[ChadDawson]

Me too brah. First year I ****d around first time living on my own went crazy got into all types of sh!t sold drugs and made ridiculous money living in student accomodation as everyone wants ket or weed. Got mugged at knifepoint and my ass kicked in a lift they took my keys and robbed my room with over £5000 worth in there. Luckily I didn't buy it on tap. But, yeah lost a lot of money and ****ed up my first year. I applied for 'mitigation' claimed my grandparents from overseas had died and I could not focus on my work and let me re sit.

Now this year and I still have been ****ing around having fallen into a bad crowd and gonna try and learn and revise 3 months of work into 3 weeks for 3 key exams. FML

[smurrfy]

Last year I got by doing almost nothing, just taking gen ed classes and got a 3.53.

BUT this year, my sophomore year, I moved off campus into a house with a bunch of friends and did nothing but smoke erryday and workout. I had to withdraw from my calc 1 class (easy as hell, just didn't go to class or do the homework), got a D in biological psychology, and a B+ and B in my other two classes. This was the biggest wakeup call of my life, now I'm motivated to do nothing but study next semester. Be glad it happened early on and you know how hard you have to work to get that stupid ass piece of paper

[davidkap]

cool story bro, i'm acing everything.

(nelson laugh) HAW HAW (/neslon laugh)

[vil]

I did the same thing OP. Was on academic probation after my first semester. I got out of it and have been pulling 3.0s since. You can retake those classes too, depending on your school the F's will be replaced with the new grade. After 2 years my GPA has gone up from a 1.8 to a 3.6. It comes down to owning up to your mistakes. Recognize you messed up and you can change things if you put the effort in. Don't let it get you down too much, just focus on what you can do next semester to make sure it doesn't happen again.

i was for like 15 minutes. lmao

^This op. you phucked up bad and you don't deserve another chance

the only way you're getting readmitted is if the dean smokes a few j's before he reviews you

[DangerDan]

Get back on your horse and un**** yourself OP.

I ****ed up pretty bad my first semester, made a 2.25 at ACC. But 4 more semesters later I've brought my **** up to a 3.0, have half my schooling paid for, and I'm going to Tech in January.

You can do it bro. If I did it, you can.

[GermanBB]

I too f*cked around bad my first semester... but I am not a complete dumbass, so I managed.

[Fitzwell]

experience > some piece of paper

Lol nope, not in this economy especially. You are nothing without a degree these days.

[LightForce]

u mad OP

Nice spread of courses and good GPA, well done.

Made a 4.0 both semesters freshman year OP.

Eeek.. good luck brah. If you had problems at ACC you're going to have a **** ton of problems at Tech.

(<--- former Tech student)

There's nothing to do but drink and smoke weed. Plus Lubbock is depressing as FUUUU and none of the teachers are worth paying attention to. If you can avoid it, do so at all costs. It's a party school.. not an educational school.

After fawking up 3 semesters at Tech I transfered to CC and started taking 40 hours of class/week (10 hours per day 4 days a week). I'm making a 3.67 now and plan to make straight A's until I get my assoc's, then transfer to a satellite ASU for my BSE/BSME.

A lot of people don't appreciate this but it is probably too early for you to take classes OP. Once you start taking classes at college you can't party like everyone else. There are some freaks that party a lot and still manage good grades but I'm not one of them. It took some time for me to appreciate how important it is to work hard now for the degree so I don't have to bust my ass later for less money. It isn't too late to get your act together and study but you have to want it.

This. 100% agree. Repped

Nah, I had problems at ACC, but I'm good now. I learned what studying was. First semesters I did bad because I was still in high school mode.

Also, I'm from a smallish town so I don't think there will be much of a difference, although the geography of the region is pretty depressing. But I doubt that Lubbock is much worse than College Station.

I've never heard anything good about ASU to be honest. But I've heard a lot of good things about Tech. Plus, big 12 football and a recognizable name is a pretty good thing. My only other realistic option was Texas State, but Tech hit me up with some transfer schollys and swayed my choice.

[PlasticTrees]

frosh year is the easiest (srs).

got a 4.0 and a 3.6 frosh year.

im a soph year, sh*t got real, classes got hard, got a 2.84 this semester.

gunna get like a 3.5 next sem tho, won't party 3x a week and fool around all day every day like last sem.

My GPA went up by like .2 this year (2nd year too). It takes a little bit of time to adjust to university.. I did more work this year but it found it more manageable/easier because I am used to it.
