i am taking AP macro and have been doing rather poorly this quarter - as of yesterday I had about a C average (average for everybody in the class is 89) - but I bombed a test today, and the quarter ends this Friday - I figure that if this is college level work, and I am unable to do it (when technically I should be in college right now, although I wasn’t held back a grade (long story, but i never failed a course/year so far). I have been working relatively hard at this and still failed, so should I even bother wasting $40k a year going to college when I will likely fail anyway, especially considering that at my age, I should be doing this level of work anyway? I screwed off for 3 years of HS and have to make up for it this year, e.g. straight As in everything, and that is not about to happen. This will only make it even harder to get into a decent college (my GPA right now is 3.0, and if I ace everything 1st semester itll be 3.2), but even then I will likely fail

What should I do?

(Running off to a commune/3rd world country/suicide/work at a minimum-wage foodservice job for the rest of my life are seeming good options about now)
