I always knew this moment was coming but now that its here I'm over whelmed. I'm heading off to college in the fall and I've just took my placement tests a few weeks ago. Now my planned major is mechanical engineering, for that major track I'm suppose to start with calculus. The problem is that I did poorly on the placement test and have to take an extra semester of precalc, something i should have been done with in highschool. So because I more or less failed the test I'm now taking precalc over the summer which is costing an extra 2,000 :/ and its all my fault. While my parents are willing to help me out I feel terrible for putting them in this situation.

TLDR: Did subpar in highschool now my parents are paying for it in college.
