My schedule:
GCU 121- World Geography
BIO 100- Introduction to Biology
MUS 355- Survey of American Music (3rd time taking this class  )
SOS 320- Society and Sustainability

You are never going to get a degree with that attitude, you might as well drop out now. You wont be able to get anywhere if all you are willing to do is online work

What are degrees really good for? Honestly, what exactly does going to school do for you? Are you aiming for a house? Are you aiming for a high-paying job? What is it?

Not having a shitty job your entire life, getting better pay, and gaining more knowledge.
If you can't get a 2.0 in junior college at the very least you're probably to stupid to expect graduating in the first place.
Also cheating in HS just shows how stupid you were in this first place. I got a 1.8 in high-school but that was just because I knew my ACT/SAT alone could get me into whatever college, and I already had a hand full of scholarships offered. 
I'd keep my mouth shut if this could be considered flaming, but I'm pretty sure it's just the truth.

Then gtfo of the "fellow students thread." 
Btw, Online degrees are more difficult most of the time because there is next to no lecture and they have less credibility.
It will be especially more difficult since you seem to need cheating to pass high school.
I'm 90% sure you're just trying to troll bait us with you're post. I really don't think you could possibly be real.
An Hero plz.

Upper division Chem courses can definitely get challenging, especially O-chem but drawde is just taking Intro Chem which is a cake course
I dont really know what the education system is like in the states but I think it varies a little from here. I already took intro college courses in high school that are equivalents so you do not have to take the intro in college.

If you can't do college, ut a fake degree on your resume or sell dr00gz.
Or, spend your life working a minimum wage job and spend your salary on alcohol and cough syrup.
Life's full of choices.

I cant wait to graduate. I still have a full 2 years left, all going well. I just hope they dont cut off my financial aid, this semester is a huge make or break 6 months for me. Right now my GPA is a 2.15 after failing all my classes last semester when I got screwed up in drugs and shit. I simply cant let ANYTHING stand in the way of me getting a 3.0 this semester

When I was hard into drugs, I didn't take school seriously. I ended up skipping classes
and failed all of them since I didn't withdraw in time. I ended up starting with a 0 GPA.
Now I have a 3.1 GPA.
I think if I talked to a counselor and explain the situation on why I skipped my classes,
they may drop those grades on the transcript. You may be able to do the same.
Anyway, you can do it!

I'm aiming for a degree so I can have a job/career that I love doing.
With that career comes money that I can use to buy a house, drugs, food, video games, and
sweet top of the line ownage computers. Not to mention, I'll have money to travel to
different parts of the world, and be able to vacation in Hawai'i or Fiji like it ain't no
thang.
It's a better alternative than being stuck with a crappy 8-6 job that doesn't even pay enough for rent.

Thanks man, that is exactly what happened last semester. The good ol' 0.00, which luckily only dropped me to a 2.15 meaning I was still eligible for financial aid and loans since I wasnt even put on academic probation. But I did get an email warning from FAFA saying that I must complete 67% of my attempted credits this semester or ill be cut off. Basically got to pass 3 of the 4 but that isnt even acceptable to me. I need to pass all of them
I thought I had 70 credits already and turns out I only have 48. Shitty.

Time flies, you will graduate in no-time.
You could probably get A's in all four of your classes if you put your mind to it.
Also procrastination is a bitch, it's best to get thangs done ASAP, so that they are out of the way.
This helps reduce stress which can be detrimental to your overall grades.

Yea that's what us people that fuck up a semester have to do. I feel you on that. Even though mine is a 2.8 at this point i'm pretty much in your shoes just i've gotten my gpa back up some. I've had 6 semestors, 4 recovering for my shitty first year.

I feel this is one of those things that you really learn by failure like a bitch sometimes. If you're someone who cares about having a degree failing a semestor will either make you drop out or scare you straight.
At least that's how it seems to me.
