So I had my math exam yesterday and I KNOW I failed it. Just as an update I went in with a 63.75% (my professor took my best 2 out of 3 tests so she took my 72.5% and my 55% and dropped my 30%). anyways I think I got a 5% on my exam. I completely blew it. I was so close to passing the class and failed right at the end! (50% is a pass) I'm just really dissapointed with myself though I did see it coming. Now I don't know what to do anymore really. To continue or not to continue.

I'm already taking 2 courses in the summer (I was taking a lighter course load during the school year because I mentally couldn't handle it) and if I take 3 courses in the summer I might just break down because it might be too much for me.

I don't know what I should do at this point. Continue *some how*, transfer to college (I'm in university currently), or drop out of school and live in a box.

I'm just looking at what's going to happen next year if I decide to continue. It's only going to get harder (people say 2nd year is the toughest). I don't want to go on with something if I know I'm going to fail again. It'll just make me feel even more worse about myself + put me in a lot of debt + waste my time and completely ruin my GPA even more!

Suggestions on what I should do?

P.S this is the Canadian system so universities and colleges are a little different

are colleges easier? cheaper?

in the states we have community colleges that are cheaper and you get a two year degree which is all the basic classes and then you transfer to the university and take the specialty classes to get your degree in your major for the next two years.

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.

I think if there is a fear of failing and things being difficult for you now reducing your courseload as much as possible would be the wisest choice. With less stress you will be able to keep up on your studies and do well in your courses and maintain your GPA. Don't worry about when you graduate just the fact that you graduate successfully
