Hey stressed head!
Sorry, no disappearing acts here. If you figure out one, I suggest to patent that shiz and sell it for a high price to desperate students.
There is nothing you can do about those grades now, so there is no point thinking about them constantly. Many … many … maaany first years have terrible marks. You still have 3-4 more years to make up your CGPA.
Now about repeating those courses! If you got hit by a car and hated it, would you step in front of another one to see if the second time was better. If you said yes, stop reading … and maybe go seek alternative help. If those courses are not a requirement for your prospective?field?of study?and you did not enjoy them, then don’t take the course?again.?If they are required courses and you?have to take?them again, take it with a different professor.
Im a huge fan?of ratemyprofessors.com ?to find out what other students thought of the profs and the anti-calendar?can tell you what students thought of the course. Trust me … a little research can make or?break the courses that you choose.
The school has multiple resources to help you through the first year … because if they didn’t they would lose a lot of tuition money if everyone dropped out of school … academic advisors, career center, writing center, alcohol (I’m?joshin’ you?about one of these, you choose which).
And if worst comes to worse start a band because Stressed Head seems like an awesome band name to me.
forever and always babe,
