Good Evening Everyone,

I would like to give you all an update about my recent experience at Purdue. Since I’ve been complaining about my constant depression and anxiety during my first semester things are getting worse. I studied for my chemistry exam three weeks ahead for numerous hours each day and still failed the exam ( I skipped going to work for so many days to study), the exam content was fair and I had confidence about passing it but I didn’t. I checked my grades in my other classes and they’re slipping and I’m trying my absolute best to raise them. I am at risk of being on academic probation and offsetting my CODO process until the end of the Fall 2022 semester. Now I have to take summer classes to raise my GPA. I’ve utilized my resources on campus to end this semester on good terms but it’s still not working out. My experience at Purdue has done nothing but traumatize me and destroy my self-esteem. I am not proud to be a student here and this university doesn’t care about me at all. I am at the point in life when I am about to have a mental breakdown. I am not living on campus for the summer because my dad suggests I stay at his house to save money and quit my job before the fall semester so I can focus more on my studies, have a lot of free time, and take a break from working. But I’m worried he’s going to prohibit me from participating in my senior activities (graduation ceremony in June, senior picnic, grad parties, senior trips, etc) because he’s the reason I wanted to rush into adulthood and he was strict and unnecessarily uptight for no reason when I am a good child who does everything he tells me to do and help around the house when asked to do so. I am so fed up with life and I am so tired of feeling unhappy. It doesn’t matter what I do in life I am never satisfied with how the way things are going. The only thing that made me a happy person this semester was my spring break trip to Houston Texas and the week before classes started because I made friends and I was happy to start my next educational journey at Purdue.
