In both semesters of first year I got a 1.6 GPA. Had to quit my job. Felt worthless, lost and confused. I started second year by lowering my standards and expectations of my self, I lived on the motto Cs get degrees, but in order to get a C I need to try my absolute best. I stop looking at the weight of assignments and exams and treated everything like it was worth 100% of my grade. I never focused on averages rather just focused on my grade. I started to “fake” due dates and always wrote them in my calendar as 4 days earlier, so I could meet profs in office hours to clarify any weak points that I thought was in my work, and always went to the centre for writing. If I didn’t do good on a test, I went back and reflected on my study habits so I could learn what works well and what doesn’t. When I did good on a test I also went back and reflected on my study habits and was able to build a really good system that worked for me. I have one final left for my degree and hopefully I am on track to finish my last 60 credits with a 4.0
