Basically, life turned south second semester but whatever I’m not here to make excuses about my grades and I don’t plan to write about any of it in my college apps because I know they’re tired of those stories. My life is just a mess and I just want to move forward.

What I’m concerned about is how my college admissions to UC’s and CSU’s will be affected?
I literally have to apply to college next fall, but my guidance counselor is on summer vacation and have no one else to talk to. So I’m screwed.
My plan so far is to retake precalc online over the summer, but I don’t know if I have to retake the whole year or only the second semester. Does anyone else know about this? If I retake and get a better grade, how will my UC/CSU GPA be calculated? Someone told me that CSU’s only consider the better grade if you retake the course, but I can’t find a source.

On top of that, does anyone know what my options are? I feel like everything is over, I don’t even know what to do.
