    I have one more midterm this week and I’m pretty sure I flunked the three last week. Oh well.

      I failed first year math once and physics twice. I now have a physics degree with a math minor and engineering minor, and will be submitting my master’s thesis in physics this month.

      So it sucks.

      But it’s not the end of the world.

        Edit: I forgot to say that this comment is quite inspiring really. Knowing that you’ve accomplished so much even with a few slip ups, it does make me feel less alone and at ease. So thank you for that.

        This is sort of the mindset I’m trying to have. I only really need a C- to get the credits (I’d rather get higher so my GPA doesn’t suffer) but I know failing these first exams isn’t the end of the world, I have other exams/quizzes/assignments to make up for it. Thankfully after this term I will be done with psychology and I can focus on History and PoliSci.

      This is one of those comments where an ‘acknowledgement upvote’ could be misconstrued – I’m sure you’ve done fine!

        Maybe but even if I did horrible I’m not to stressed about it, those three classes have a second midterm (my online course has four) to make up for it plus quizzes and assignments (that make up a huge chunk of the overall grade) and the final of course. Maybe I did surprisingly well but considering I had to guess a lot I’m thinking not lol (I’m not stupid I just didn’t study as well as I could’ve since they came too fast). Thanks for the vote of confidence!
