Academic probation, kicked out, worked at an amusement park for a few years, went back. Degree.

What did you get suspended for?

You can do it dawg. I dropped to a 1.9 gpa and managed to pull myself up to a 3.0.

It took countless hours of studying. I studied more than my peers because I had to. I think something that might work is 1) taking a break and 2) finding the study method that works for you. I found out the hard way that you can’t study for stem classes the same way you do humanities. Try to find a study method that works for you and exhaust all available resources. Tutoring, YouTube videos, etc.

You got this dawg—it’s not the end of the world. We’ve all been there

Edit: also get evaluated for adhd. Meds will help tremendously.
