Can you sort of recalibrate your thinking? Did you enjoy your courses (for the material, not for the professor or fellow students)? Did you learn anything? What was it? Was there anything especially interesting or enjoyable in the courses that really attracted you? If any of the answers are yes, try to focus on that. Learning brings lifelong enjoyment; grades bring only stress and maybe a momentary victory. And if you did learn something that intrigued you, or deepened your knowledge of the world, does the grade really matter?
I really enjoy my course and I just calculated my marks and the only possible way I would fail the course is if I got a 0% on all my exams. Which I highly doubt. Thanks!
Thanks for this!
