Re: I fucked up what do I do

[(Anonymous)]

First, anon, you gotta chill. It's okay. Yes, it happens. People fail courses in grad school. It sucks, but grad students have disturbingly high rates of mental illness stemming from the intense anxiety and sometimes people just burn. That's throwing aside the sadly common asshole professor with an ego up their ass that fail students for not licking their balls enough.

After you realize it's not just you, talk to your counselor/adviser. Get it all off your chest. They have heard it before. You are not the first one to fail and your life is not ruined.

Your other credits could well be enough to let you pass your program just fine, depending on the type of program. You may also be able to retake the course to get a better grade. You need to discuss options with your counselor first. A lot of the possibilities depend entirely on your program, school, and your country's education system.

So try to get a hold of yourself and don't battle it out alone, the counselor should help give you some perspective and advice so you don't feel so helpless. The worst thing you can do is let your anxiety take over you so you aren't able to finish your other courses, too.

It's seriously not the end of the world to have one failing grade on your transcript. Yes, people with one failing grade can still get a scholarship, and there are plenty of scholarships out there that don't look exclusively at your grades. You are going to be okay. Do your best in the courses you have now, and try to get involved with any research/extra projects your professors have, honestly, having one good relationship with a professor is worth more than grades because having a good reference is important.

(For perspective, I had a friend who failed a course and got "provisional fails" on two other courses and still passed the program; she was able to retake the course she failed for a better grade, too. And I do think she just got into a post-doc program. not saying grades don't matter at all, but, don't despair too much, OP.)
