First year failure
Hello everybody. I am a first year student and I am halfway through my 2nd semester at the moment. During my first semester, I took 4 classes and my GPA was at a 2.25..... that's awful, I'm aware. I know what I did wrong, and what I need to work on. I'm not doing so well in my 4 classes right now either. I didn't have any motivation until now. I'm a little worried that I'll be put on academic probation since I'm really close to dropping under a 2.0.
My question is, do I still have a chance for grad school? Or did I mess up too much already? I want to get a Master's in psychology, since a BA in psychology is almost useless. Do you think there is still hope for me to reach a 3.0 GPA if I put all of my effort into it? Or is it too late now that I completely screwed up my first year? :( I feel like a failure and it's only my first year. It just hit me how difficult and heavy university is compared to high school. I'm ready to buckle down.
