My original graduation was supposed to be May 2015, but due to some mistakes on my part I had to drop a class this past Fall 2014 semester. I have to retake this class next semester pushing me back to graduate December 2015.
I feel so horrible about myself and that my life has been put on hold for 7 extra months.I have many friends going on and that will still be graduating in May. I also feel that these friends have been super standoffish since I told them my graduation date has been pushed back. We used to hang out all the time, now I can barely get them to text me back (yeah sounds stupid but it upsets me). I've told them I will be at their pinning ceremony and graduation, but I honestly don't know if I can handle the emotions because I should be there with them.
Have any of y'all ever been held back a semester?
Do any of you have some advice on how I deal with this?
Sorry if this all sounds dumb, I've just been feeling down about this situation.
I'm in my forth semester as we speak. I finish all my nursing classes but I ended up having to repeat nursing seminar. I'm not really upset because I really want to be a good nurse and if there is something that I am lacking then, I'm willing to take this class over. I look at it like this, the more knowledge, the better chance of me passing the NCLEX. I have no regrets because I know God has something in store for me.
from experience, it may have sucked at the time yea, but repeating a class worked out better than i thought, because i repeated the class i absorbed the material and understood it more than my cohort, this was maternity btw haha. you WILL graduate, you WILL become a good nurse, you guys have the same goal, some just take different routes! stay positive and focus on the real goal: graduation. Good luck!
