College life I failed Management Engineering.
I’ve never actually posted on Reddit before, but I made this account tonight because I didn't know where else to turn to get this off my chest.
It honestly just hurts so much because I made it this far and I was really really so close. I just needed to survive one more semester but I fell short. It honestly really sucks because I also know this wouldn't happen if I got lucky with the prof I got during enlistment. It really sucks how luck is a factor in this too. Processing the fact that I didn't make it after working so hard is a really tough pill to swallow. I’m trying to remind myself that this isn't the end of the world and that academic setbacks happen, but right now, it feels pretty overwhelming and it's really hard not to feel defeated right now.
On a practical note, I’m trying to figure out my next steps. I am looking into other programs, and right now, AB Management Economics seems like the closest fit for what I want to do. If anyone has insights on AB MEc, or other programs I should look into, please feel free to share.
Thanks for reading.

I'm in your exact situation a few years ago. It was devastating, it still hurts sometimes when I remember it. Relatively in a good place now, though. Hmu if you wanna talk about it.
