No one is perfect and that’s okay. You are at fault sometimes and that’s okay too. Try again, do better next time and accept that you can’t change the past.
It’s finals season and I’m almost positive I’m going to fail one of my classes. I don’t fail classes, that’s not something I’ve ever done before but here it is and it’s my fault. Last semester I blamed my grandmothers passing for the classes I dropped and it would be easy to blame my break-up or the transition to a new school. But it’s my own fault. I didn’t plan enough, or study enough, or work hard enough and I skipped too many classes because I didn’t want to go. It’s my fault that I’m going to fail and that’s okay. It sucks, but it’s okay. I will do better next time and I won’t let it happen again and that’s what matters. I let my idea of self-care get in the way of what I needed to get done and I am going to fail. But I will retake the class and I will remember that what I want and what’s best for me are two different things. It’s a lesson I’ve already learned but I’m learning it again.
Happy finals prep college students/professors! We’re nearly there! I’m planning on getting a support dog this winter break as my surviving-the-semester-reward, what are your rewards?
