The title explains it all. I’m very angry at myself over what happened and for pretty much letting the opportunity for good grades slip through my fingers. I’m a working student trying to support myself and thought I had to pay for school all in cash. I left a job where I worked 8 hour shifts and when I quit I was almost at the point of no return as far as grades though. I had hoped for As and Bs going in but I screwed it all up. I can’t stop beating myself up over this and grieve at the loss I could have had. I feel like my future is ruined.
Your title. THIS semester was awful. Plenty more to make it better.
Consider this-many students have a tough time their first year at college- even if they don’t work. So stop beating yourself up. Beating yourself up over it makes you seem like you thought you were too good to struggle. So, take yourself off the hook. It is too self centered! Figure you are just like everyone else-you were bound to struggle at some point. Now you can put that behind you and move on!
Realize it may not be your first year but my statement still stands-most people have a bad semester or bad year at some point.
Okay, learn from your situation and figure out how not to repeat your mistakes. Don’t wallow in regret, but use what you learned and go forward.
