Thank you, so so much for your encouraging words. I've been in a slump all day and I just told my mom I can't apply for nursing school just yet again. I was thinking of majoring in Psychology or something in LAS and then apply for an ABSN program. I am planning on retaking Anatomy 1 next fall so I can fix my GPA. I am determined to finish, it's just taking me a little longer than others.

Thank you so much - I have always felt alone and frustrated about not being as "smart" as my friends. I wish I could have just transferred to a community college when my grades started drooping, it's too late now because I'm afraid I hit the 60 credit mark. You've given me wonderful insight on how to view college and nursing, thank you.

At this point in the semester, I'm considering to change my major from undeclared to Psychology and aim for an ABSN program. You mentioned that it would be extremely difficult - may I ask how? It is true, I do need better ways to study. In the beginning of the semester, I tried tutoring and it was helpful for me, but as midterms came in I could not find the extra time to go.

I usually juggle around 4 classes, but this semester I had 5.

I still have lifespan development and anatomy 2 left. I guess time management is my biggest issue - I tend to learn at a slower rate than others and I spend a little more time trying to understand a subject. I'm scared I can't turn anything around because I can't stay at my university as undeclared for another year + nursing applications are closing..

So it's my third year at a university as an undeclared major (with pre-nursing set as my educational goal) and I got a D in anatomy. My GPA is currently a 2.52. It seems that no matter how hard I try, I can never be as smart as my classmates/my friends who have already gotten accepted in. I can't find it in my heart to tell my mom that I can't apply for nursing school AGAIN and that I'd have to stay another year - making it 4 years as an undergrad and accomplishing nothing. I feel like I've hit rock bottom and that I've run out of options.. I don't know what to do.
