    Oh no !!

    I have a tiny bit of a problem. I'm failing school. Did everything in my power to make it but with a combination of bad luck, total inability to grasp anyting electric and others, I am failing it. I'm so incredibly down right now. How the **** am I going to take care of the 11.000€ debt right now ? Im going to be kicked out of the parental house as well.. im completely lost without a good map where to go..

    first of all as they say, you have to lay in the bed you made...

    and second, either pick yourself up using whatever is neccesery such as tutors and friends or go work for a nice McPoop restaurant and enjoy your new life
    I am easily satisfied with the very best.

    1. Stop with the drinking. Beer costs valuable money that eats away at your savings.

    2. Try to make some money off your car(s) that you bought recently (Escort, Alto)

    3. Welcome to the club.

    Anyone who thinks this doesn't belong in here raise your hand.
    If i get 10 raised hands I will lock it down and delete it.

    On the second hand, it's quite funny to listen to your misery.
    You brag about how much you drink and party, and how hard you study and how much experience you got with this and that.
    But in the end, you are just a flunk.

    I agree that partying was sometimes a bit too much, but overall I tried to keep it to Saturday night only. I did everything I could and dont feel I can blame myself anything. The taste of failure is a bad one though. What does flunk mean anyway ?

    Im afraid my hand is raised to.

    Yes you have an interest in cars but it takes more than that to get through studies. You just have to put the hours in and learn from your mistake. Part of maturing is pulling through stuff like this. I would suggest a change in lifestyle, hang out with the brainy students, get to lectures 5 mins early and study 12 hrs.day for exams. Perhaps you have to leave UCP as its a distraction and put that time into studying.

    Im afraid this thread is only perpetuating some peoples fear that you are attention seeking(like this). Id be careful. You should really be speaking to student councellor or similar elk.

    Though im all for seeing UCP as a place to find help, this is more of a complaint than a request for help.. so sorry dude.*hand up*

    Things usually seem much worse than they really are. Only advice I have is to try your darndest, and if that doesn't work, try your darndest to deal with the after-effects.

    Just don't stress out too much, that doesn't help anything.
