doing sooooooooo bad in school

[penguinabc123]

...i dont know if its because i cant keep my head straight because of relationship issues and a recent death in the family, or if ive just turned into a dumbass, either way im close to screwed for this semester, i did fine on the last semester, this one is going downhill, might actually have to retake a class, im not happy.

anyone get this way when they have to much stuph going on and cant concentrate? i dont know how to get out of the slump.

i wish i had a really good answer for getting out of the slump........mine was just time.

i got really far behind in the fall and i'm still paying for it. i'm just doing it one by one..........try not to focus on the big picture and set priorities! do one thing at a time..........its seriously the only way i was able to make up for lost time. i tend to super stress out if i focus on everything as a whole instead of course by course!

hope things work out for you

A death in the family seems like something that can weigh you down emotionally but usually leaves you some closure after its all said and done.

Relationship problems even if not as severe as something like a death can still rack your brain more. Relationship problems are always making you think why? how? fack! Its super hard to concentrate on textbook questions when you're confronted with real life questions/problems.

I don't know the specifics but if the relationship deal is with a girl then cut the bitch off and get your school on! if not then I hope you work everything out try and find a solution AFTER the semester is over.

Might help to find a friend in one of your classes to study with or something.
That way you can talk and joke around while working without focusing on all the shitty stuff going on...

i did make friends ryan, turns out there doing as bad as i am lol.
i should have made better friends.

and ya i think ineed to end the relationship, come to think of it we were having problems last year and my marks went down. bye bye!!

thanks guys. sometimes you just need to hear it from someone else.

i have been there. it is hard to focus on school when something more important isnt leaving your mind. it may help to speak to the instructor. i was in a similar situation and on of my profs was extremely helpful and understanding. i ended up scraping together a b+ from a likely fail.

[penguinabc123]

i tried, he told me maybee i should drop it then, no help unfortunatley, some profs are good though.

Totally agree with you there, if you just take it little by little it's much easier than when you look at the whole picture and panic. Just think of it all in lil increments like single chapters you need to read/assignments you have to do and get something accomplished every day.

And don't get so hard on yourself if you're having trouble focusing! It sounds like you've been through a lot, so give yourself some well needed breaks between study time so you aren't distracted when it is time to study.
Good luck!

High school or College? I know i had a hell of a time tryin to juggle high school and the real world a few years back.
If its really that much of a struggle, save yerself the unnecessary stress. Get the G.E.D. certificate.
I got mine six months ago and now I am enrolled at Vancouver Film School for next january.
