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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
