Failing Your Classes? Don't Be Ashamed, You're Not The Only One

Failing a college course is something students don't even think about. It's something that's considered a silent rule when going to college and starting your classes. Failing a class can feel like you're throwing your money down the drain and failing your future self. However, it's something that many college students do experience whether they like it or not.

As many people say, college isn't as easy it's depicted in movies. There will be times where you're going to be hit with classes that are going to be harder than what you're used to. Whether it's because of the teaching style of the professor or the way the readings and work are set up.

Failing a class isn't something that never happens. It happens to a lot of students. Although it isn't a good thing, it's good to fail with knowing that you gave it you're all. You put in the work and you tried the best you could. It can be hard to believe, but there are people who fail while trying their hardest. There are people who can put in 100% effort into the exams and papers, but they just won't get the material. In some cases, it can be because a teacher may have a certain format on how they want their work.

If the student doesn't do the format, then most likely, their professor will deduct points from their grade and make them get a low grade. Sometimes it can also be because students just don't understand the material or only grasp a little bit. They don't grasp the key points or get material mixed up. It's stuff that happens.

So if you fail, it's not the end the of the world. It will seem like it, but it won't be. It's something you can make up or learn from for the future. The important thing is to fail for the right reasons and not because you didn't try hard enough or because you tried to play the system.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
