When My Grades Fell Apart: A Dorm Room Meltdown
Last night, sitting in my cramped dorm room, I stared at my report card, heart pounding. My grades had tanked. I felt like the world was closing in on me—anger, shame, and confusion tangled up inside. Why did I let this happen? Was it the late-night parties, the endless scrolling, or just me not being good enough? I wanted to blame my professors, my friends, even the noisy guy down the hall. But deep down, I knew I had to own this mess.
I tried to calm down—deep breaths, telling myself, "I can fix this." I scribbled down every class I was failing and why. The list was longer than I wanted to admit. My roommate found me muttering to myself and suggested I talk to my professors, set small goals, and maybe even ask for help. I hated the idea of being vulnerable, but maybe that's what I need. Have you ever felt so lost you didn't know where to start? What would you do if you were me? 😱🤯
Honestly, I need your advice. Should I just drop a class, or fight my way back?
