I made a stupid and terrible mistake

I’m sorry to hear this happens. It stinks. The same thing happened to my son last year as a freshman (though in his case I’m not quite sure if he slept through the exam by accident or just forgot his final was that morning and missed it). He re-took the class in the summer term and his new grade (an A) replaced the F. Yes, the F is still on his transcript, but at least he fixed the GPA part as the A replaced the F.

He was able to move on from it and recover, and while the whole situation stinks, all you can do at this point is move on. And just know that you are definitely not the only person that this has happened to.
