College problem. please help

[ROOKIE OF THE YEAR]

hi, i am a freshman in college. so far i am doing pretty terrible at school. i am flunking a lot of my courses right now. I promised myself that from now on i will not be lazy. but the problem is that my semester is almost over, and i dont have much chances to pass it right now. my major is psychology or business. But my career goal seems to be fading away.

so i want to advice you guys that is it too late to catching starting from the upcoming summer school? if so, will i have to sacrifice a lot of time of my own such as suceeding on hb, and my part-time job? any advice from on you experience or smart men.

thanks, i really appreciated to give me some pointers.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but how in the he11 do you flunk out of college. The higher education system is so dumbed down, they are practically handing out degrees.

Seek out help from your professors; this works wonders!

Stop the excessive partying. Stop drinking on week nights.

Go to your classes, do your hw, ask your professors for help, and if you need a tutor, find someone in your class who can help you, or ask the prof to direct your to an older student.

What the hell are you talking about? Have you been to college?

Anyways, read your textbooks and do all the assigned reading. Go to all the study sessions or review sessions or tutoring. Do the homework and find old exams and study them. Don't drink or get high when you have a test in the upcoming 2 weeks. Go to class.

Are you asking if you'll have less free time over the "summer" if you go to class during the summer semester? The answer to that one is a no-brainer. However, it looks like it's going to be necessary. What you need to do is look at how you're living your life right now - obviously it's not working out too well for you. If you don't change what you're doing now, then all that will happen is you'll make another post just like this one come the end of the summer semester.

By the way, I'd advise you to drop the classes you're failing. A "W" doesn't go against your GPA - an "F" you'll have to make several "A's" to recover from.
