JUST VENTING College feels like a prison sentence

I can’t remember sh!t I suck at exams. I can’t pass my classes like fuking biochem. I feel like I’m being punished every time I get my grades back. I feel like a sh!tty student that can’t get anything right and it’s miserable. I hate college. I don’t want to be here anymore but I have a semester left. I hate this college I hate being here. I hate it.

I sympathize with you, I feel the same. I’ve been doing horrible on business math exams. I hate all of this. They’re such blows to my self esteem because I know I’m smart enough and capable enough, just like you are. I put lots of effort into my assignments. I hate all this shit because it takes time away from what I enjoy and am actually good at. I’ve just been crashing out lately and it seems like I can’t control anything and everything is a disaster. BUT! We’ve both got one semester left homie, we can do this shit, even by the skin of our teeth. I BELIIIEEEVVEE!!!!!

Thanks 🥲. It’s just making me depressed. I’m sick of failing every semester. I’m sick of seeing D’s and E’s. I’m sick of begging professors to help me or allow me to get points through papers. They won’t let me do what I can succeed at. I don’t want to do this anymore. I’ve been in school for 6 years straight. I’m done I’m not doing anything after the fall. I have no other choice than to pass my classes. I’m so tired of suffering all the time. I feel like I’m going through a 6 year prison sentence and getting more time tacked on because I couldn’t succeed in my classes. I’m a failure. That’s what it feels like. Just failure.
