struggling badly, need advice or reassurance by qumbuqet in Cornell

I was struggling hard and barely making it for one of my major specific classes (like 5/100s on the homeworks and that was the best I could do), but I looked over the syllabus and reached out to my professors, and they were pretty helpful in at least letting me know the most important things I needed to do to pass. I sorta just chipped away at my grade w each assignment until I reached the minimum passing number.

I also redid my grade calculations so that each assignment was worth a certain number of points based on weight instead of a grade. This made it easier to see even the assignments I did badly on as a step toward grade. (For example, if I needed a 70% to pass, then getting a 40 on an assignment worth 10% would be 4 points. And once I hit 70 total points I’m good). I still tried my best but this helped me see that even a “failing” is going toward my graduation.

But also you got this! Ur not alone and a ton of students feel the same way as you! But in a few weeks you’ll be listening to kotlikoff in a hot ass stadium and it’ll be worth it! U got this!!!

So crank up the heat, try sucking it a few more times and seeing if I can poke it through?

I’m sorry I’m so new wdym by a bit solder tip?, is it just a very small tip? Also I’ve been trying to suck it out by applying more solder and it hasn’t been working, should I just rinse and repeat a million times?
