I somehow forgot I had a class. Just found out today I’m failing it. No excuse, who does that? I’m so ducking dumb. I’m not going to be able to graduate in December now. I’m not going to be able to leave. I’m stuck in my stupidity. I can’t even breathe. I’m so tired

@Ember_Simone I did this, that's who does that. University did not want me (or any student I think) to fail for this. I was required to do a certain minimum amount of coursework for it at an acceptable standard before the semester end/the exam for the class and to pass the exam for that class. Which was doable with access to the class materials and notes. And cramming.If you are otherwise doing fine, I think you will be able to get past this. If you have other academic issues they may be less willing IF they show evidence of you not paying attention/slacking but that's by no means guaranteed.Like other posters have said, take a deep breath and do not panic. Don't put your head in the sand though either! What's done is done. Contact your personal tutor, the person teaching the class, academic lead, anyone suggested once you start talking to people. Express regret, and determination to do whatever you can to pass the course and graduate in December. Offer any reason or excuse that feels right if they appear to need that but your focus should be on progressing and sorting it out rather than trying to be excused for the fault. 'i don't know how it happened, I seem to have forgotten, this year has been crazy, *what can I do to go forward? This, that, or the other, will it help?*' is much easier to work with then an endless litany of woe (let's face it the last 18 months have been batshit crazy for everyone I'm sure there's plenty of legitimate woe you could offload) and just sitting expectantly at them. You can do this. I believe in you.

@Robotpuppy I tried talking to my counselor and my teacher. I’m on the honor roll but have attendance and other issues due to just everything. The teacher said she can’t help me and it’s late. The counselor seemed done with me because of other issues in the past. I would receive a 68% if I aced everything else. Maybe if this wasn’t a half semester summer class, I’d have time but I don’t.

@Ember_Simone You are not dumb! Take a breath ok. How bad are you falling behind? I assume you have a way to speak with you teacher/lecturer. Sit down with them. Make a plan. Have I said breathe!

@Funsizescot1975 it’s a one month class with only quizzzes. I really can’t make up the 90 points. I’m dropping it but that still sucks

@Ember_Simone @Funsizescot1975 correct.It's a horrible feeling, realising you've made a mistake with consequences, but it's still a mistake. You learn from those. Own your own shit.Never own anyone else's shit.Aim for less shit overall.And in this case, ask if you can earn the points, while owning you made a mistake. Good luck. Have a hug.

@Ember_Simone @FeartnTired @Funsizescot1975 a year may feel like forever, but it's really not very long at all! It sucks that this one class is preventing you from graduating but you will still graduate one day. You may even benefit from having a bit more time to apply for jobs/internships etc :blob_cat_snuggle:
