    I've probably just lost it all....

    You definitely have three more semesters to prove yourself. Being a 4.0 student is fantastic, but maybe you're being a bit hard on yourself. Focus more on improvement rather than any past faults and...

    Worst Day of School EVER..Please help

    I would be devastated too. Your story reminds me to check the work when it's finished completely. This way I can be assured that my grade isn't affected by someone else's mistake. I'm sorry you had to...

    Failed first Chemistry test!

    Vent away! :) We're all reading. I'm going to side with other posters here and suggest that you just got nervous. Chemistry can be an intimidating subject, if you let it. I've bombed those first tests...

    Failing! & want to be a Nurse :(

    Slow down!! I get the feeling (just by reading your post) that you're hurried and hard on yourself at the same time. Take a deep breath, drop a class or two if you can and focus. If you are passionate...

    I caught a cheating classmate

    Tough subject! Nobody wants to be involved in drama, we all say it. It is horribly wrong that this student can blatantly cheat and pass through without being caught though. I don't think you should...
