I tweeted a series of tweets that went like this “I'm ready to drop out. Or at least transfer. I feel like I'm not learning anything in my classes and I'm not passionate about my major anyway. I feel like I was rushed into college and now I'm being rushed out. I freaking stressed and behind on classes because of trash advisory. At a school that feels like it doesn't care about it's students in any aspect from classes to extra currics.  But now I'm a junior so if I leave I've wasted three years of my life and I'll have to basically start over from scratch.”

Also a tweet left untweeted... “J’ai envie de me tuer à nouveau je pense vraiment que j’ai besoin de conseils.” Translate it if you want.

I’m in a really weird place right now and I have no idea what to do or who to talk to about it. I feel like I’m going to fail all my classes even though my grades don’t even look that bad right now.

Hey. You may or may not remember me, even if you actually follow this blog. Let me reintroduce myself. I’m Coco. I’m a twenty, soon to be twenty-one, year old college junior majoring in Entrepreneurship at an HBCU in Mississippi. I have had this blog since the 4th day of May in 2015. I have used it sporadically since then to motivate myself in my study efforts. I am going to try again now.

Since the last personal post I made during midterms, a lot has happened. → I fell off in my classes, caught up on all my work for every class in less than a week because we had temporarily shortened band practices, then got sick the very next week and fell behind again. This is when I decided to finish out my last season marching. → I never started 100 DOP because I always missed the day I wanted to start and told myself “I’ll start on Monday.” → I received a letter from my very first penpal! Which, I never responded to because I lost my original response letter and never made time to write a new one. And I was too self-conscious about it to even respond to her messages online (I’m so sorry Anna) → I received 2 As, 2 Bs, 1 C, and 1 D on my final grades, giving me a semester GPA of 2.645 and a cumulative of 3.072. I will be speaking to my professor regarding that D. →My spring semester started on 14 January 2019. I’ll be making a first week post this weekend.

Midterms week is over!! Yet I still have two midterms to take. Grades have been posted but not all of mine. I know I have two Bs and one C and I’m waiting for two grades (in the two classes I still have tests in). I’m actually doing better than I expected to be doing, the two B’s are in classes I thought I was failing and the C is easily fixable. So my goal, from now until Thanksgiving, is to pull everything up. It’s 4.0 season baby. So I’m Finally starting 100 Days of Productivity (I’ll tag it Grads100DOP).

Practice. And class. Mostly practice.

     My classes are going pretty okay, I had to drop my night class because we only met once a week and had only met once for three weeks. I wouldn’t be able to pass the class without the teacher actually teaching us. 

     I’m currently looking into switching my World Literature class too, not even because it’s hard but because there’s honestly too much work. He assigns an essay almost daily and my practice schedule doesn’t afford enough time for me to write a five page essay every two days. Also, regrettably, I haven’t been to that class in a few days so I know I’ve missed work. It wouldn’t be such a big deal if he wasn’t so strict on late work (the highest grade you can get is a 60 if its not on time unless you have a doctor’s excuse, even if you weren’t enrolled in the class the day the assignment was assigned. He’s honestly an awful teacher.) Like, I understand that you’re trying to push us to be better writers, and I appreciate it. I would appreciate it more if I actually had time to do the work and wasn’t in class from 10 or 11am until 4pm then practice from 4pm until 10 or 11pm.

Ahhh thanks!! Also I’ve totally been there. When I first made my studyblr I had like no interaction with people whatsoever and I thought I should’ve just deleted and pretend that nothing happened LOL but trust me friend it just takes time ❤️
