Question for people who failed a year in college
| I failed once. It was fine. Finished it later.
| It sucks. You need to make changes in your life, reflect why you failed, and either try again or change course. I got medication and the help I needed but wouldn't admit that I needed. Took an extra year to finish, but it worked out.
| I retried, failed that, dropped out, took community college, failed some of those, then got into college and passed that. I wasn’t a super happy thriving person then and I’m not now, but I grew enough to get by over a long time, without my life really changing.
| I failed, then I dropped college/uni completely and decided to become an indie game dev
| It was fine. Just need a little more time. It's not like you unlearn what you learned in that year.
The extra school fee hurts a little though, yea
| It fucking sucks, if you care about what you're studying and continue to stick with it though don't let the thought of failing once weigh too heavily on your mind.

My experience is basically a mix between these two posts. Planing on going back once I take ADHD meds.

I was told to drop out literally yesterday. I don't really feel anything, neither did I feel anything after enrolling.
| i failed out of software dev during covid, doing shit remotely just didn't work for me and it was devastating.
i'll probably go back at some point and try something slightly different, but i got a job supporting neurodivergent peeps and it's been a lot more fulfilling than anything i would've done with a degree, even if it's just kinda barely keeping me afloat
you have plenty of time and it can be an opportunity to try things you otherwise might not've. school isn't goin anywhere

| Im probably gonna fail and have to redo everything, how did you cope? did you think about changing majors?
