Failing Your Classes? Don't Be Ashamed, You're Not The Only One

Failing a college course is something students don't even think about. It's something that's considered a silent rule when going to college and starting your classes. Failing a class can feel like you're throwing your money down the drain and failing your future self. However, it's something that many college students do experience whether they like it or not.

As many people say, college isn't as easy it's depicted in movies. There will be times where you're going to be hit with classes that are going to be harder than what you're used to. Whether it's because of the teaching style of the professor or the way the readings and work are set up.

Failing a class isn't something that never happens. It happens to a lot of students. Although it isn't a good thing, it's good to fail with knowing that you gave it you're all. You put in the work and you tried the best you could. It can be hard to believe, but there are people who fail while trying their hardest. There are people who can put in 100% effort into the exams and papers, but they just won't get the material. In some cases, it can be because a teacher may have a certain format on how they want their work.

If the student doesn't do the format, then most likely, their professor will deduct points from their grade and make them get a low grade. Sometimes it can also be because students just don't understand the material or only grasp a little bit. They don't grasp the key points or get material mixed up. It's stuff that happens.

So if you fail, it's not the end the of the world. It will seem like it, but it won't be. It's something you can make up or learn from for the future. The important thing is to fail for the right reasons and not because you didn't try hard enough or because you tried to play the system.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
