Help Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Athalia]

help!! I am afraid I am going to be kicked out of college. I have been homeschooled my whole life and then I went to a junior college where everyone was at least 20 years older then me. Last semester was my first time EVER around a bunch of people my own age... anyhoo I FREAKED and then there were some major problems invovling my ex roomate, sucide, and my parents and the cops, anyway it was just nasty... my GPA dropped to 1.5 and then this semester...well I am already on acadmic probation...and I am scared! I don't want to flunk out, but I am having trouble and and and.................... It's scaring me. I am almost a senior, I don't wanna get kicked out I like it here!!!!


*puts head on the desk* I need prayer....

Don't get freeked out, We don't want anyone freeking out in here....

Here are some steps I use:
Just spent the next semester focusing on your education,
limit going out to 1 or 2 times a week,
set aside study time and stick to it no matter what happens,
Improve your living situation so you are more comfortable studying.
Have some form of stress relief, whether it be sport, exercise, movies, painting, singing what ever.....
Control you stress by identifying when things are going of the rails.
don't focus on your GPA just work on the assesment needed to boost it..

That and maintain your quiet time with the Lord to keep your focus in the right areas of life.

Be positive some of the greatest people in the world, failed at uni, then succeeded in life.

I'll be praying for you!

Take the advice of sledger24...it's wise.

BTW...I had one semester where my GPA was 1.8. I'm 51 now...I worked hard the next semester and in the long run, that 1.8 GPA taught me a lot.

Now you have to make some major changes. Don't look at anyone or anything else or try to make excuses. Just change the way you are doing things. Spend more time studying. Force yourself to concentrate. Drop the things that cause your GPA to fall and focus on things that will improve it. Do the best with the time your have left.

I'll be praying for you! I know the level of stress you're going through. Stay strong!

I'm sort of in the same boat as you are, except my problem is that I have a sleeping disorder that caused me to miss at least half of last semester, and I ended with a 1.75... this semester that sleeping isn't as much of a problem, but I am taking three classes and I need a B in at least one of those two classes to get that up, and I am on the border line of C and B in two of them... so I am pretty stressed. I get suspended if I don't get it up, but I will plan to appeal if it does happen.

I will be praying for you sister. Maybe you can talk to your teachers so you can do some extra credit to help your grades. It sounds like you are having a hard time. Remember that no problem is too big for Jesus to handle. Pray and ask God to help you in this situation. He knows our needs. You do not receive because you do not ask. Remain faithful and try not to worry too much. Your life is in his hands. He has a plan for your life and he will get you through this semester. Trust in him and try to hang out with the right crowd at school. God will direct your steps. God bless!

I had a medical excuse to miss my exams last semester but they still put me on academic probation. (I was hospitalized) Anyways, I was ready to write my exams when I went back in January and I was able to write 3 in like Feb/March but there are still 2 that have never been scheduled. I did fine last semester and I don't think I should have been on academic probation.
This semester I went through a serious withdrawal from medication I stopped taking (I was misdiagnosed) and I didn't do my term papers. I was able to get extension on one of them so I wrote it. Anyway, if I get 100% on my exams I am still going to fail and I really want to come back in September.
I really need some prayer!

ok, quick update,

(first thanks for the prayers they really worked)

I actually quit my major declared myself undecided and marched over to the freshman adivsors office and said look - i need help and wala! I am getting the perfect degree for me B.A.i.L's with a focuse on advising and photogrphy and I am not going to get kicked out either.

 

[awesome liver]

last semester, my gpa was 0.98. i didn't care then and i don't care now. my cumulative is 2.3 or 2.4. i have a year to go. my goal is to just pass. i lead a very fun life otherwise. you have to figure out what career you want before you can choose to "just get the degree" as opposed to working hard for it.

 

[Brother_Justin]

Yeah I started off ruff. I kicked my little alcohol fase of college and pulled my head above water again. Just keep at it. Glad to hear things are looking ok again.


..............as we speak the drunks have decided it would be best to pass out and make ALOT of noise lol. *thanks God he isnt one of them any more*


Just keep at it God's got your back




Love brother ~Justin~

I am so happy and excited for you Julie!

Photography hmm? You and I might need to talk!

I often have to tell myself, usually after a bad test, that God doesn't care about my grades. He'll love me no matter what. It is sometimes hard for me to stay focused and therefore my grades aren't the best. You'll make it. We'll all make it!
