sophomore slump
So my actually grades turned out to be A, B, B, B, C, D from last semester. I got an email from my advisor telling me that my GPA was lower than the one required to be in the teaching program. They’re going to let me stay in it though because I had a 4.0 from freshman year. And then I started thinking about my scholarship getting taken away, and my car insurance discount for good grades going away too. POop!!
I blame my shitty-est semester ever on my terrible classes (advice: don’t save the worst gen-eds for one semester), my awful job problems, and the adjusting to the commute. I’m trying to let it go, forget about it, and work harder in the future, but it just keeps coming up.
Here’s my theory on the sophomore slump: Freshman year of college you have so many new experiences and emotions, you don’t hate school. But sophomore year, you realize that you’re still in school and your senioritis comes back and you’re like wtf. But then (here’s the theory part), by junior year you’ve realized you’re halfway done so you might as well finish.
Hopefully this semester is better. It has to be. I hate this pressure I feel :(
