You know, final exams are a bit like death.
You know it's coming the whole time. You're constantly reminded of it and told to prepare for it. But you can blissfully ignore it up until it's right around the corner.
At that point you scramble to get things in order, to make some coherent sense of everything you've done up until that point. But it's too late. Sooner or later you're going into that room, and you won't be coming out until it's all over.
You accept that you should have done things differently as the day finally arrives. All you can really do now is wait for it to happen, and to pray God for his mercy. After a few painful hours it will all be over, and then you'll be judged. And you can only hope that maybe you'll get a next time to do better.
This is what you deserve for placing all value on your life on some arbitrary shit test instead of taking initiative and doing anything else besides getting yourself in massive debt.

You're right. That's why I'm quitting next semester.

Good man!
If at first you dont succeed, give up! Maybe kill yourself? Nah that's probably too much, there's plenty of work for the semi-educated out there.

I tried that, am a second year tradie who decided to go to university. Granted it got me in with a lot less debt, but that tradie life just isn't for me. Too easy.

Anon, school holds nothing for me. Just a lonely path to a lonely cubicle. I choose another way.

This was at a pretty decent school, too, at UCSD. This will be my last post until the 17th. I'm going all out. I've never been so motivated in my life. I'll never be a shitty student, ever again. Don't give up, and talk to your professor. He might give you a second chance as well. I believe in all of you.
Good luck.
>tfw created a nice little uphill battle for myself to remain mediocre and not slip into being a complete failure
Feels good man. I literally can't do things until I have to when I have to I get unreal amounts of motivation.

Just fuck my shit up senpai. I've never had a science professor actually give a shit. I'm glad your professor was cool but fuck you, literally every chemistry professor I have had has been an anal piece of shit.

Fucking faggotry, go see the department head don't let that shit fly

Believe me, I know. I've been thinking of changing my major to geography or something, because Im supposedly good at it and it relatively interesting, but im just not sure. I guess I have some time to mull over it though.
