I recently realized I royally fucked up my chance at finishing my degree and I have no idea where to start on getting it back on track.
Last year come time to fill out my FAFSA, I completely missed the deadline and still haven’t filled out the form. Because of this my financial aid hasn’t distributed for this quarter and there is a hold placed on my account so I can’t enroll in future classes for this upcoming winter quarter.
My grades have also slipped to the point where last spring quarter I got F’s in two out of three of my classes. And this fall quarter hasn’t technically ended yet but I spent basically all of the ten weeks bedrotting and only completed homework for one out of my three classes, went to only five class sessions for another, and completely have ignored my assignments in my asynchronous third class. I’m fearful for my grades as I know I haven’t been putting in the work I need to succeed. And it is currently coming up on finals week which I’m completely unprepared for.
I almost lost my job last year from showing up late everyday/ having several no call/no shows from being too exhausted and unable to get out of bed.
I’m really scared I will flunk out of school or if I can get my grades together I’m not even sure I can afford to keep going to school without the help of cal grant and other aid that I relied on in the past years. I’m a fourth year student and am supposed to graduate this year. I can’t help but feel like I’m about to throw away everything I’ve worked for these past years because I can’t get a hang of shit.
Also on top of all this I had a failed attempt recently that I’ve been keeping secret from my family. Not only do I feel like a failure in school, I feel like an idiot who can’t even commit fully.
TLDR; Need help building a plan to get back on track. I failed to submit my FASFA, have let my grades slip, and don’t know how to get out of it.
