As a 3rd year anal retentive Computer Engineering major, I keep having to tell myself these 7 things.

  1. Grades aren't everything in college.

  2. For an engineering major, I have a very respectable GPA.

  3. GPAs don't matter as much as experience.

  4. 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?)

  5. Failing a class is not the end of the world, unless I lose my financial aid, and

  6. Even if I lose my financial aid, I can petition to get it back.

  7. 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.
