Hey there, I'm also a college student but I took this semester off. No grades to worry about for me for another month. If the worst that happens is you get a C- you're still doing amazingly even if it doesn't feel like it. I've had semesters where I've gotten straight A's and semesters where I've failed 3 classes. And nice job on being sober, it can be really hard especially in college. The way classes and the grade system is structured is that you do end up obsessing over grades at the cost of truly learning things, I don't think that is totally on you. What's your major? 
it turns out my grades very good this quarter! but our TAs/graders are on strike so i won't be getting some of my grades back until there demands are met, which could be a very long time. my majors are anthropology, history, and art history. fully loaded, but i really enjoy it. good luck when you start school again! if i've got this so do you

I completely relate to the GPA-related feelings. I’m a senior in college about to enter my last semester. Just got all As and a B+, and the B+ highkey bummed me out. I’ve even been going through the process of becoming more anti-academic-overachiever-y over the past few years, and nevertheless, the guilt/disappointment still gets me. 

However, it really just gets me because I f*ckin HATED the class I got a B+ in and dreaded dragging myself out of bed twice a week for it. It was an advertising class, an elective I had to choose for my Communications major, which I also hate but tolerate because I just have to get an undergrad degree.

I double relate to you on the topic of w33d. I actually quit in January this year because I started smoking late 2017 (because my shitty, cheating, emotionally abusive ex insisted that I smoke with him) and then  throughout 2018. I started smoking to try and numb the pain he put me through for months, but it was only hindering my ability to feel, process, and move on from my negative emotions and trauma. Smoking was definitely making it harder to remember things, function, and grow as a person, and I’ve gotten like 1000% better since I quit. The damage is not irreversible, I promise. Quitting was a huge gift to myself. I’m a very different person than who I was a year ago, and I only continue to get better over time.

In terms of where I’m at now, I’m just trying to really patch up any damage from past trauma from childhood and college and become the most confident person I can be. It’s hard not to get discouraged or depressed, so I just let those emotions come and go sometimes. But I’ve found that counseling, exercise, and lots of honest self-reflection time has been really really helpful.

Sorry for writing a novel here. I’m just really thankful that you made this post. Best wishes to you and everyone else who reads this <3 xx
far from a novel!
i totally hear what you mean about hating a class and then feeling bad about yourself for not performing well. that was me all through high school! haven't had to go through that really in college yet where the stakes feel so much higher.
i'm glad to hear you're in a better place than you were a couple years ago with that pos ex! i was hoping for a similar experience after stopping smoking for a while but i don't think i felt much of a difference. i guess three weeks is just a drop in the ocean compared to the 5 years i've been regularly smoking, but i'm still proud of myself for refraining for such a long time. the main thing is now i don't feel like i need to smoke and drink in excess every change i get, which is definitely liberating.
it sounds like you've come a long way as a person with everything you're working through! i hope that one day i can find the strength that you have to expiate my own healing process. it's not an easy thing to do, especially to admit that you need help or are in the wrong. godspeed!

Feeling wack as fuck tbh. Disappointed about last nights primary results and worried that leftists will continue to put all their hopes on electoral politics as opposed to direct action

the world is in such a strange place rn and its kind of getting me down! i’m also really disheartened by the results of the primaries (hot girls for bernie!) also my uni went online due to coronavirus so I will definitely be missing a lot of my independence and my friends (although it’s definitely a good thing that corona is being treated as a true threat + that we are protecting immunocompromised people from possible threats due to students traveling abroad to europe and such). also since im a humanities student (anthropology, english, and modern and global studies) idk how online classes were going to work. I was supposed to curate a museum exhibition by the end of this semester so I guess that’s just... not happening anymore? it sucks :(

I've done a couple museum exhibit assignments online . . . maybe you could make the mockup and actually put it together after this whole thing blows over? that totally sucks though, that sounds exciting and i'm so sorry you might not be able to do it anymore. i applied to 2 museum internships for the summer (only 2 in my area - glad i stuck to local places now) and just got word from one that they're completely cancelling all their like 15 summer programs. :(

Ughhh I feel everyone on the school shit.  My school is a mess and they announced the end of in-person classes before they warned any of the teachers so now we have two weeks off till all our profs learn to use the online system and convert their lesson plans but given what I've seen It's gonna be a disaaaasssster.  Got my acceptance letter to one of the schools I applied to transfer to but now idek if I'll finish this semester.  Plus my motivation is at rock bottom cause of the pandemic so the thought of doing schoolwork makes me physically recoil.  Like my grades have been really good but it's only cause being in class physically forces me to focus I get sooo distracted at home.  Now my city's on lockdown too and I can't even buy flour anywhere so I can't cope with all of this by manic baking.  Just waiting for shit to get real once people realize they're gonna be required to pay back rent.

i have a study permit to go to university in canada but i’m an american citizen, and i’m currently back in the us for a funeral. i was supposed to fly back to canada tomorrow morning but they closed the border today and it’s very possible that they won’t let me in!! i understand that this is a crazy time and that travel isn’t the best idea but i’ve been isolating while here and have arrangements to quarantine for two weeks when (if) i get back. if i get stuck in the us i don’t know what i’m going to do lol

Honestly I'm not doing so great, next term at my uni has been cancelled and that means I won't see most of my friends before they graduate. I lost my job and am left very much dependant on my not-so-great family. Basically yeah, I'm really not vibing with 2020 right now

I'm a college student with 3 jobs 2 of which i no longer am receiving income from and i'm extremely stressed bc a) i deliver groceries and am trying to limit my runs to 3 times a week bc i live w/ someone immunocompromised but we don't get benefits bc we're contracted workers so i really need to be working more than that but can't and b) i'm a senior and now much of the research material i was using for my thesis is unavailable bc quarantine so now i'm scrambling to find enough primary sources for my paper which is still due in a month. i took 22 credits this semester bc i'm a masochist and weirdly this quarantine has made much of my work harder to do. in conclusion i'm Not Great.
