My Final Stats Rant

I've always tried my best in school, and for the most part, I've always had pretty decent grades. Yeah, some subjects (English, History, Government, Etc.) was better than others (Math), but I've always maintained my GPA. College was no different, and the past 3 semesters my GPA has been higher than high school.

This semester however, I have been stressed to the max on Statistics and Philosophy, both which I thought I would do (somewhat) well.

Statistics has been hell on earth for me. The first few chapters were easy, all about mean, median, and mode-things I learned in elementary. I didn't need tutoring because I felt like I had a decent understanding of it, and I was getting 10/10 on all my homework, and passing all my quizzes and tests. Then everything started to fall, little by little. I realized I needed help, tutoring, advice, something. I've spent the past few weeks researching books to get, like Statistics for Dummies, and finding out tutoring times at my college. Then I found out this week that I have another Exam, plus a huge project due in less than a week.

What I was afraid of happened. It's too late to catch up. As I was trying to take notes tonight for my exam tomorrow, I had no clue what to do. None. It is so far over my head that it hit the Orion Belt. (I'm passing Astronomy!)

I have decided to drop the class. However, since I'm dropping the class so late, I will receive a "W" on my transcript, something colleges don't like to see. But what is worse, failing the class, or receiving a W? Failing the class is going to bring down my GPA.

As most of you know, I want to transfer to a 4 year down south. But to be perfectly honest, I don't know how my grades, GPA, and transcripts will allow for it. I am at a point where I have no idea what's going to happen. I have no idea what I want to do. I am unsure about a lot of things right now, and all I can ask for is your prayers that God will help me through this, where I will still be able to accomplish my Dreams and goals in life. I'm still very determined, and I won't give up. I'll go down with my Dreams if I must.


Your prayers are much appreciated. And thanks to all those friends out there that have stood by my side. You'll never know how much you all mean to me.


As for tonight, I will sleep well. I will not worry about Stats; a huge stress ball has been rolled off me. Goodnight.
