So, I've screwed up a bunch of times in life...

let's go through them...

Got into Purdue, went there for two years.
first semester, Freshman year; got B's and C's
second semester, C's and D's
third/fourth semester, C's D's F's...
I'm not going to make excuses like "i was homesick/depressed/etc" i just didnt focus, and began sleeping all day long.

So i dropped out (didn't fail out) and went back home... upset that i failed myself, and my parents.

Went to a local school, and completely bombed it, i wasn't motivated, didn't do anything, and just didn't do anything...

so i took a year or so off, sold some cars for a job, did decently, but the store itself was slow and is no longer there now (it was a brand new location selling GM... now sells Kia)

so i went back to school...
Did meh, B's C's D's... been on academic probation most of the time I have been here... but I am moving forward, slowly... dissapponting myself, but doing better...

This summer, i got thrown into an internship at a new startup, managing their warehouse... I was trained for 2 weeks, and then the manager left, and i took over... I had never managed anyone, let alone been in charge of a warehouse... Looking back, i feel like i did decent to average, i didn't do it perfectly, I didn't do it horribly, but i did okay. I wanted to do perfect, but the weight on my head to do it perfectly made me over analyze things and try to get things done... I mis-shipped many items, had some go through with damage, and more...

So, let's come to today...
My grades are coming in for this semester, and other than Acct. I have an A, a B and a B-. my fourth class I assume either an A or a B. and for Acct, an awesome F (fuck this class).
I also took a look at some information from where i was this summer... I now realized i was interim warehouse mgr for the BUSIEST MONTH they have had all year... yea, my noob ass, was trying to keep the warehouse going during THE BUSIEST MONTH THEY HAVE HAD, I am talking, I accounted for 18.5% of their warehouse activities, this year in which they only had 8 months of operation... sort of makes me feel better, but wish i had done it perfectly instead of just moderately...

end rant/rage/brag/depressed/wtfever you want to call it.

So basically you're not very smart and you want to tell everyone on here about it?

Your post could have simply just been "Hi, I'm not very smart."

i realized skimming through this that you're still in school.

just think, you still have your major "screwing up" to do, later in life. enjoy school while you can.

everyone knows this is the proper response to this rant.

Oh, i know this... Life is about learning from mistakes and continuing... you look back, but you don't regret what you did, you just learn what you did that made you fuck up and don't do it again...

I have an idea, start trying in school. I suppose I'm not one to talk because I skated by with nearly no effort, but most people can't. How do you get an F if you're trying?

Sometimes a swift kick in the arse actually helps people. However, I see in your case you'll need something stronger. :colbert:

Less work, money, and pain if you just do it right the first time.

So you're pretty dumb, but you're honest about it. Hey, at least you're not deluding yourself. That's a good thing. Admitting is the first step toward recovery. So what steps are you taking to turn things around? Or are you just winging it and destined to fail at life?

I'm not dumb, never have been, never will be... I definitely have above average intelligence and intellect. Don't associate grades with intelligence...

I have begun actually GOING to classes, it reflects in my grades this semester.
