I wasn't going to tell this story because it was embarrassing for me to admit that I failed after I worked my to get accepted, but I decided to just go ahead with it because perhaps it could be a good lesson to those who are entering university.

So, my first semester of uni was really bad. My grandpa died and that kind of left me a little shook that all my grandparents are gone now. So, I didnt really study and I went back to my normal study habits of studying an hour a day and not really doing my best.

So I failed two classes: Bio and Chem.

I was then placed on academic probation because of my low GPA.

Second semester rolls around and I STILL continued my bull of "I'll do bare minimum and call it a day" and when March came around and I met with my advisor, she told me that what grades I needed to stay because if my GPA fell under a 2.0 then I will be disqualified from taking anymore classes. So that freaked me out because at the moment, I was failing Bio/Chem/and Calc.

So I put my into gear for the last month.

I knew I wasn't going to pass Calc. I never understood it to begin with. But I used a GPA calculator and discovered that if I got my E in Calc and a B in Bio and a C in Chem (the rest of the classes I had A's in) then I could stay at the university. So I completely gave up on calc and focused on Bio and Chem only.

Finals came around and I BOMBED both finals.

I managed to pass both my Bio and Chem class, but I didnt get the B I needed in Bio to keep me at a 2.0 GPA. So, I cried. I was going to be kicked out of school for my grades. 

The advisor told me that I could go back to community college for a semester and bring my  back GPA back up to a 2.5 and reapply at the school and I would accepted back in. So, that is what I had planned to do. I signed myself back at my comm college and I dropped all my classes I was gonna take in Fall at Uni and I cancelled my housing contract.

I think it finally struck a core once I cancelled my housing contract because I cried a lot. I knew I failed and the only one I could blame was myself because I slacked because I hate studying. I cried knowing that I got kicked out even though I have a year and a half left.

I accepted my fate and called it a week.

Friday comes and I remembered that I had a phone appointment with my advisor that I made to discuss deadlines for next semester with so I knew when I needed to submit transcripts to be accepted back into uni in the Spring. I logged into my uni account and I noticed that my status went from "Disqualified" to "Continued Probation". I literally did one of those dog sideways head turns.

She called and I asked her about it. She told me that she didn't know why the status changed either. She said that I should have been disqualified since my GPA is at a 1.9 (PATHETIC, I KNOW). She asked me if I recieved a disqualification letter in my email and I told her no and she looked through an email with a list of other people who were disqualified from school and my name wasn't on the list. So she called the register office to see if they knew why, they didnt. She called me back and basically told me "I dont want to sound like I dont know how to do my job, but I seriously don't know how youre still in the system. Since it says you can continue, add classes back. I will call the director when theyre free and talk to them about it and see what they say and I will let you know".

My heart skipped a beat because like, I GET TO STAY?! YEAH.

I do think the reason why I am staying is because I am retaking two classes, and that boosted my GPA. Plus some transfer credits came into play. I really dont know the reason, but whatever it is- Im thankful

Overall: Granted, I am still waiting for a follow up call for after she talks to the director because that could break me in the end. I learned my lesson. Uni is not community. Things work differently here and I know what to expect. I will work harder than I ever have to graduate on time next year. I am not proud of my actions, but I consider this as a gift from the big man upstairs for giving me a second chance to work hard.

Now I am scared to make another housing contract just in case because since I am passed deadlines- if I cancel a contract; I will be fined $200 and I definitely do not have that in my pocket or bank account.

DO GOOD IN SCHOOL KIDS.
