So I'm 24(f) graduating this spring semester and I'm basically working on overdrive to fix my chances for grad school. Unfortunately, I lost my grandma and father while in school and simultaneously dealing with my mother that needed me to pay half her bills. Which is fine as I lived with her, but working full time really took focus away from my coursework. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and I'm medicated now, which has helped me so much! With that being said, instead of taking a break from school I just held on no matter my grades or situation. I even switched from Psychology to IT then back to Psychology. (I only wanted to be financially secure but hated IT and my grades reflect it). Anyway, so now that I've moved out, and have enough money to graduate without working (thanks dad) I realized how much damage I've done. A 2.1 gpa.... but it'd be a 2.3 if I get all As this semester and I'm on track for that! I'm taking the GRE to show schools that I'm not dumb. And working on volunteering and internships. But I know how bad my transcript looks. Yet I fully believe there's still hope, but is there anything else I should consider doing? I want my masters! And eventually a PHD! But I need to get through this 'oopsie' first...
I'll be retaking a few classes next semester since I only have 2 required classes left! But I'll aso be looking into post baccalaureate programs! I'm the first in my family to get a college degree, so I really had no clue about most of this! So thank youu :))
For now, I'm still working on a relationship as the 2 individuals I had prior have left my school. But I think I'm making a pretty good impression as of now! And I'll be looking into past baccalaureates today, thank you :)
That's a great idea! Thank you! Did you just go straight up and ask them? Or would an email be more appropriate?
I'm proud of him! That's really inspiring for me <33
I was also in denial and convinced my brain feeling like it was being rubbed by sandpaper was normal! (It's not apparently, lol) I've really been gliding through classes ever since being medicated, and it's kind of upsetting that I didn't know earlier. And I will be taking that checklist idea down, I'm sure it helps brain fog immensely ha Thank youu
I did think of postponing graduation, but I don't believe it'd get me to a 3.0 unfortunately. After spring, I'll just barely be hitting the 2.5 mark! I'm having a meeting with my academic advisor on the 3rd, so hopefully they send me down the best direction! Thank you <3
Oh, that's wonderful to hear!!! I'll be looking into this ASAP :))

I want to be a therapist/counselor for starters. But I enjoy researching the way humans perceive the world and why! I'm currently writing a case study on psychosis and its relationship with spiritual awakening. Reality and the many ways we live in it (and break it) are my cup of tea. I'd like to further pursue research like this as a psychologist!
