As a 3rd year anal retentive Computer Engineering major, I keep having to tell myself these 7 things.
-
Grades aren't everything in college.
-
For an engineering major, I have a very respectable GPA.
-
GPAs don't matter as much as experience.
-
I have never utterly failed a class. I might've had to retake one due to a lack of transfer + not having the prerequisite grade for another course, but I have never failed (as of yet). (Ds don't count as utterly failing, right?)
-
Failing a class is not the end of the world, unless I lose my financial aid, and
-
Even if I lose my financial aid, I can petition to get it back.
-
I can always work my way up the corporate ladder of the McDonald's next to my house if things don't go well this semester.
