Wow, I suck at life...

[iamwiz82]

My first term sucked too. I was completely unprepared. I passed all of my classes, but one of them by the skin of my teeth. 70 was the minimum and I got a 70.

Damn you guys!? 0.5 GPA? 1.4? I'd be sh!tting in my pants if I dipped below 3.0. :shocked: I guess it depends on how you were brought up, maybe? I'm not the nerd that studies 24/7, but I put in my two cents and pull out OK(~3.3-3.4). I really don't know how you guys can get that low...you guys party animals?

I just wasn't prepared for college and I didn't receive accommodations for my learning problems until my 2nd year(some paper work snafu ). I did well in high school sorta...finish with a 3.57. Needless to say I lost my scholarship after my freshman year.

I finished freshman year with a 0.75, anyone able to beat that? I'm now at slightly over a 2.0 four years later.

You can get another shot at a final :Q

Though I was referring to a written exam, yes I do get a second shot at most finals too. A third at some, too.

Where do you guys go? I don't think you get a second chance at any exam here at MSU.

MSU? I am going to NDSU, just across the border.

Yup, good old Michigan State University.

Opps, I was thinking of MSUM -> Minnesota State University Moorhead

NUBCAKE! I'm going to NDSU too, mate. Cheers! :beer:

We should have a Fargo, ATOT meetup....

Thanks for making me feel better, even though I don't feel any better...

With that aside, there was no drinking tonight... :frown:

Sounds good! You going to the LAN party at the Country Inn Suites this Saturday night? I'll be there!

its ok, there are many kids who actually flunk out.. if you are still in just hang in there. I have been slowly bringing up my GPA, aiming at the 3.0 sometime soon.
things I learned:
1)do some research before picking a class or a prof
2)dont skip all the classes, show up at least once in a while and the last day before tests/exams
3)get in a network of people from the same class so you can help each other out on homeworks, projects, test preparations and whatever
4)dont be shy to drop classes, its better to get Ws then Fs
5)First year can be pretty tough with "weed out classes" where they show no mercy with ruthless grading criteria

The cold, brutal truth at college is no one really cares if you fail a class. No one pushes you to do stuff to turn in, study for the tests so you are on your own.
Whatever happens, just remember it isnt too hard to bring your gpa up if you havnt gotten too many credit hours down yet.

This saturday night?... I might go... Whats the expected turnout? A lot of the Designlogic lans got really gay....

 

[american trash]

don't even worry about retaking classes - after my first semester i had a 1.7 GPA and was on academic probation. I'm a senior now. Retaking classes is no big deal - ****** happens to everyone.
