but the thing is, i think considering taking your time to get through college is the better option. it took me 10 years to get my four year degree. i just did it at my own pace.

dont push yourself into failure. set goals you can succeed at. it may take longer but you will be happier with the results.
Yeah, over here colleges are cheaper and you end with a 2 year diploma but you also have the ability (sometimes) to go to university and complete a degree. I wouldn't say it's easier though; everything seems tough for me so i guess thats my own fault :/

and yeah, I was already taking a lighter course load (4 in each semester instead of 5 and making up for the lost 2 in the summer. because of this I was told my graduation will get delayed and pushed to November instead of June). But with this failed course I guess it's getting pushed even further to the following June *if* i dont complete it in the summer.

Should I reduce my course load to 3 in each semester? hmmm

The thing that scares me is that what if i fail more courses? I'll get kicked out. All my hardwork will go in the gutter and I'll be back right where I started but with more debt. It'll also ruin my GPA and it'll make it tough for me to transfer to college or any other university.
