Haley, that sounds like you are having a hard time with it.
Do you have a specific major you are trying to complete for a particular job?
If not, you may want to consider an alternate way to get your BS or BA. You get credit for courses and work experience. It could be a fresh start and you could take classes part time. If interested you can explore this here:
Excelsior College | Excelsior College
It originally was part of the state University of New York but it may be independent. If you just want to finish your degree, this could be a way out of the troubles you are in. After you pay them the application fee you send them transcripts of all your college courses even ones at other schools you may not be currently using. You also can include work or military experience, possibly even volunteer work. Then they will send you a report with how much more credit and what level courses you need.
The other option might be doing an evening program at your school or taking a semester to finish the incompletes.
You can do this somehow, it just isn't easy. But you have it in you.
If you know why you are finishing school that may help you.
Even if you just complete college, that makes a big difference getting a job.
If you feel lost, what about doing a volunteer or internship for a semester or two?
Just some ideas.
