Some thinking to do

Tweet

So I recently had what you might say a revelation, I realize that my life was going nowhere and I felt like I was really falling behind in school and life. I ran into an old friend at the mall, he was doing pretty well going to a good college and moving along and that made me think about where I was. It also occurred to me that I been in college for two years yet I haven't done much. It hit me when my dad asked me when I was going to graduate. I was behind on my credits due to the fact that I didn't pass some classes. I suppose I was kind of screwing around and not worrying about my grades. I should be getting my associates by the end of this semester but that won't be happening. My parents expect me to be at the 2 year mark and moving on to work on my bachelors. This semester I decided to take 6 classes to make up for some of the classes I didn't pass. Right now I'm around 50 credits or so, I completed most of my core classes but there are some that are blocking me from moving on. I failed my english class once with a D, today when I checked the final grade for the english class I took this semester I also got a D. It was pretty depressing, I asked my professor about my grade before the end of the semester and he told me I was going to get a C or a high C if I do well on my last paper. I turned the paper in and met all the requirements to my knowledge yet I still got the D in the class. This will be the second time I failed this class. I also need to take around 3 math classes in order to move on as well, I always hated the subject and never did well in it even in high school. I know that I need maybe another semester or maybe 2 to meet the requirements. Right now I'm paying for my tuition with my own money, I'm 19 years old and living at home. Starting to feel as if I'm getting nowhere and that I'm just wasting my money. Also I don't know what I will tell my parents when they ask why I haven't gotten my associates yet.
