Fall Quarter 2019
I was definitely in a very bad predicament during this semester - my grades were failing in a course for my major - and I was constantly anxious and worried about it, but I couldn’t seem to do anything. I felt powerless, I couldn’t sleep, and although it felt like I should be doing something, I’m doing nothing.
It started when I received my first failed exam score. I was slightly worried, but I failed an exam before and I just had to do better with the next exam and everything would be okay. I also turned in homework and papers - anything for the class - on time, but truthfully, my heart wasn’t in them anymore. Although other courses were not affected as much, I was losing focus and interest in studying. I did not want to admit it at that time. I just want to do nothing.
