I don't care how cheesy or dumb this is, but I'm gonna pass on a certain quote that actually helped me get through my darkest years of college.
It seems odd that probably the most hilarious line from Gamegrumps is one of the things I've carried with me through serious times, but its a god damn powerful one and something that none of us ask ourselves enough in our life.
Sometimes we go through rough spots in college and even life, it totally happens. That's why you need to kick back and relax when you're feeling at your lowest and get a good nights sleep and when you wake up tomorrow, ask yourself how you're feeling. If you feel like the shit you're going through is not worth it in the long run, then grab a big ass cup of coffee, sit your ass down in front of a computer and start looking for fucking anything that might interest you. A job, internship, different courses, etc. because you never know what you might find and its not fucking worth it to be depressed, or even in my case, suicidal over some fucking college courses that probably won't even matter 10 years.
If you really are interested in what you're doing, then its time to get help. Go to your professor and just tell him what you have to do to pass this course and what will help. Tutoring, spending extra hours doing extra homework, coming to every office hour. Email your professor about every single thing you're unclear about. Just fucking do something.
You might be right that you can't do stuff by yourself, that totally happens in life. Your friends and family can help you all you want, but nothing is gonna change unless you decide to help yourself. And just doing something different will help you.
Don't let something as small as some dumb letter grade on some dumb class for some dumb college make you feel as shit as you are now.

SkLa I can't add anything but sappy as it sounds that actually made me feel better. Thanks. Hope anyone who feels the same takes it to heart.
Nah, I gotta take probs and stats along with those
Sorry about generalizing. Just didn't want to worry about doing more math after I'm done with community college so I can focus on CS
I'm sorry to hear that, unfortunately I don't really think I have anything useful to tell you other than shit happens, just because you have a run of things not going the way you want it doesn't mean you're a fuck up, it means you're a regular human being who makes mistakes and simply hasn't found the right mindset yet.
It sounds like you're not doing something you care about very much, if I had bothered to take courses in things after highschool then I'd have probably ended up failing them and so on too because I wouldn't really care. I mean I know that I'm not stupid, it's just not my passion, I can't do anything about that fact, I'm not going to kill myself over something I frankly don't care about just because it's the "normal" thing to do, not to be all rebel and all that, but your life isn't over if you don't follow a schedule exactly, it especially isn't long enough to be wasting time on things that make you unhappy.
It's a no wonder you're not happy. With that kind of family pressure put on you, whether they've done it to you or you've put that pressure on yourself I don't really know.
I think maybe you just need to take a step back and re-evaluate what you want to do in life, what you really care about, not what you think you should be doing, or what other people think you should be doing.
You're saying all these things about yourself that you feel like this or that, yet no mention of anyone forcing you to feel that way or do anything.
And with that, bed time.

I'm not even talking about tutoring or anything, even in huge classes of a student expresses sincere interest in not wanting to fail a class they usually have some kind of extra credit work you can do. Sometimes just the act of showing you care enough to ask will get you a passing grade.
Stats isn't bad. It was the easiest math requirement in my school.

Fuck sake where is my crack. It should be dispatched already...
Sorry for not helping out realGAF. I don't think I'm in a state myself to help
Ahhh, okay. I gotta do Differential Equations or Linear Algebra.

Hey man, you're a cool guy here. Don't be cry! Drinking to get over sadness is a bad idea, so right now is one of the few times I will ever recommend sobering up. Drink to make happy occasions more fun. Don't associate alcohol with sadness, that leads to alcoholism. If you think they hate you, then fuck em. Go make new friends and be happy!
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's easy compared to the shit I'm going through. Why do I need so much math bullshit.

Do it man. Take your mind off this shit for awhile.
That's what I did when I failed my chem exit exam. I was able to clear my mind, but I had my mom to help me out and get me ready to take the redo test. Ended up passing. Felt so good.

Do that, and get some snacks/food.
And I'm passing out. Good luck to everyone with everything. Later nerds.

When I was homeless, nearly broke my leg and had absolutely no prospects, I listened to Homemade Kazoku's Nagareboshi while on a walk. That shit got me through it.
Holy shit dude, you were homeless?
What haven't you been through at this point?
Now it's going to be hard yelling at you next time you start moeGAF. I don't even deserve to anymore...

I've been homeless twice before. I forgot I told those stories threads ago and that people probably don't know about it anymore.
It's part of why I always try to be positive, talk about things I like and help people whenever I can. I've had enough bad shit in my life and don't want to dwell on that shit anymore.
You don't know real until you talk your mom out of suicide.

This is why I don't usually contribute to realGAF. I got shit on that level of bad for days. Don't want to bring the thread all the way down like I just did.

Sorry I didn't respond. I had to take an online quiz. I give my condolences and being the weakest link in your family sucks, but dedication is a good thing to have and I wish the best of luck.
I'm probably not helping. Sorry if I made you upset.

Why would a school make an online anime character quiz part of their curriculum?
Aaron-Lagann
Banned
Because I'm the teacher. I need to know to determine your grade.
Maybe Trainer goes to one of those anime schools.
You know, the ones with the tsundunders.
I got Kirito. Does that mean I get all As without trying?

No. I'm Kirito. Because I give all my students the D.

I gave up on that when I was 15. Just don't have the patience or talent for it.
Pretty much you just gotta, you know, do it. A lot.
