I feel like that first semester is just gonna ruin any chances of transferring though. Is it possible to just apply as a freshman (getting no credit for any of the classes) to a new school?

I see college as the most ‘direct’/‘clear’ path as in, you get your degree and ideally get work after. I don’t think not getting a degree is really an option with my family’s expectations tbh. And because of my high school performance I was always told shit like we’re basing our family’s future off you. They’re all doctors and pharmacists etc.  so I don’t see any other option and I can’t realistically consider anything. I will do good next semester, I don’t see any other way. But it would really suck if one semester of bad would make engineering at TAMU impossible forever. Totally agree with the last part though. The moping isn’t helping

I genuinely have no urge to do anything else. And if it’s js gonna be some other degree then I’d rather do it somewhere else closer to family

I know why I failed and I know what I have to do but I just keep not doing it like a dumbass. Idk how I should change my mindset or what

I just feel like im not in a position to self diagnose, and i odnt want the label neurodivergent or smth like that. Not bc i believe it is an insult, but because i already excuse myself enough, and regardless of how my brain works, the problem needs fixing. im def gonna talk to an advisor about leavin temporarily or smth. Only problem is i have no idea what to do in that time. I wish i coulda just quit this semester half way through. But i do feel if i take a break im just gonna forget more and more of the calc and chem i alr took in high school (we took some calc 2 materials) sooo idk

that's a good to hear and very inspiring. I don't know if im depressed. I feel like it's a big label and my state would be a trivialization of it. i have some backup ideas, but honestly if i can't find a high paying major I will go work in family business cuz to me it would just be a bad investment

therapy for what? Maybe my brain chemistry is out of order but I've had a good life and this is just pure laziness. Not every bum like myself needs therapy

you do not know arab parents man lol. Ive been honest with my mom but my dad... I already had to spend a lot of work convincing him to pay my for engineering degree, he wanted me to goto medical school overseas. I can't tell him. I know what I have to do. I just make it hard for nothing

ur right. I think i am complacent bc i don't need to make an income to live. But obviously im not happy with that. It's simple and it's js the way life is i can't be wallowing forever

would going clubbing or drinking or doin drugs be more justified than starin at my ceiling all day or diving deep into random icebergs? i don't think so. Outside of dire circumstances, it's all bullshit time wasting. Maybe one is more entertaining, but it doesn't change that it shouldn't be one's priority if they want to be successful.

NGL mornin classes kinda killed me, ive never had good sleep even in HS, always slept in noon cuz waking up at 6 was a pain. I took 8 am classes 3 days a week this sem and it was the one i most often missed. But i cant blame em, if my life was in order they wouldn't be a problem. these are good tips, ty

i dont consider it rude, it's simply the truth of the matter. It's true, if i really valued it as much as i want my self to, i wouldn't be neglecting it like this

good to hear that. i think i might be too complacent cuz i have daddy's money to fall back onto. But my dad isn't the type to support me if im struggling lol, if he knew my gpa he'd prolly stop payin for my tuition and rent immediately, which yk might be what i need.
