And Succeed The Second Go Round

What It's Like to Retake A Class

You put your heart and soul into a class but maybe a little too late and this equals failing said class. According to the University it is passing, BUT when further looked into it isn't considered acceptable for your major. For a class that you already struggled with, effort isn't there anymore. You stop caring what grades you get in said class and you understand there isn't anything to do to help. While this is disheartening at least you can focus more on other classes. That was round one!

You accept your fate and you failed the class

While you never wish to see this forsaken class again, it is required for your major, (even though you'll never use this info in your life again), you must retake it, tears!

Round two: You go into the class with high expectations that this time around you'll get an A, you'll do extra questions, you'll reread all the notes from the class after each class even when it is an everyday class, you'll get a tutor, make sure you'll go to office hours and with high hopes wish to get it over with. Well in a perfect world, you'll do all those things but that isn't always how it pans out; other classes take up more time, work schedule, family time and friends plus just not wanting to put that much work into a class.

You end up going to ever class but two, you never work extra questions but you do try paying even more attention, more than you wish to and you end up with a B, not the A you initially worked for but at least this time you succeeded!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
