college confession

I’d appreciate it if I recieved help here okay?

Okay. So I’ve been enrolled in college for a while now. I started last fall, and things went downhill fast.

My first class was in the summer, online. It was an introduction to college course.

It’s really easy, but I literally didn’t do anything on there. Online classes are not for me.

Then in the fall.

I took english in the evening. I begun to skip classes for english because I forgot to do a homework assignment. Soon, it all piled up to the point where I didn’t show up or had to make excuses to my mom on why I didn’t have to go.

Psych was the same thing. I went to each class but stopped doing the work, causing me to eventually skip.

History was a bit different.

I went to every class, but never did the essays. The essays were assigned each month, and were counted as a grade since my history teacher didn’t give out homework or tests.

so I basically flunked all three classes in the fall.

I decided to take English again, this time around twelve in the afternoon.

I kept skipping because I forgot to bring my book and homework.

Now, here we are again. summer classes for the same English.

I’ve gone to a few classes, but stopped immediately after I didn’t do my essay.

I’m failing again.

My mom took the online class for introduction to college for me during the spring so I can get my gpa thing straightened out.

And my financial aid is gone because of my failings.

I haven’t told my mother this at all because I’ve already failed and I’m lying to her enough, saying that I’m passing this class.

What do I do?

Please, help me.

I don’t want to end up dropping out.

I want to do better and I want to get my education.

Please help.

college tips from my first experience

1- If you have to bring lunchables to school, do it. Please, do not spend 3 dollars on the pizza at the caf. It will add up eventually and you will realize how much money you wasted on food alone.

2. Show up for class, even if you don’t feel like it. If you skip one class because ‘I really don’t wanna get up from bed today’, then you’ll get more loose and make it a habit. skip a class when you absolutely cannot go. and ‘i didn’t do my paper’ is not an excuse.

3. If your professor has a website for your class, check it often. Sometimes, you’ll get more information online than in class.

4. don’t write down whatever the professor puts on the board word for word. summerize, put it in your words, draw pictures, whatever. Also, don’t just pull out the notebook when the professor writes on the board. Listen, write, repeat.

5. turn the phone off. You will miss SOMETHING if you take a minute to text on your phone.

6. Don’t wait until the last minute to do your papers.

7. If you take one of those once a week classes, make sure it’s something you will enjoy.

8. Join clubs and don’t be afraid of talking to people that might be older than you.

9. Don’t stare at disabled students in the hallway or in the classroom.

10. If you come in late, wait until class is over before handing in a paper.

11. Bring small snacks if your class crosses lunchtime or dinner.

12. Don’t take morning classes unless you’re a morning person.

13. Get a coke or sprite from the dollar store.

14. GO TO THE RESTROOM BEFORE CLASS.

15. Do your assignments.

16. don’t be afraid to ask the professor anything you don’t understand.

17. make sure you have all of your supplies and books.

18. 4 classes is recommended for those who don’t plan on working at the time

19. people CAN hear you talking loud with your friends in the hallways.Try to be considerate and lower your voice.

20. again with the people, please do not be afraid to talk to ANYONE. If there’s a 60 year old woman who seems to be having trouble with algebra, go help! If you want to ask an 18 year old if there’s an exam question, go ahead. Age isn’t an issue here.
