Hey that doesn't make you a failure :( hugs ):

*sits down on a stack of old used textbooks and notebooks*

A lot of people get dismissed or put on academic probation or what have you... it's not the end of the world. Would it make you feel any better telling us the whole story? If it would, I'm open ears :) If not, that's OK. But try put things in perspective, you're young and there is always hope for a better tomorrow~ It might be a crushing blow now, but maybe one day you'll look back and this will be a time where you got knocked down and got back up even stronger~

Those who turn their failures into successes are the ones that will go far in life ....

I'm going to google a list of famous people who also failed out of college, to give you inspiration.

It's important now to not fall into a depression, but fuel yourself to go forward.

Read my "Dear Diary" post for ways to succeed, posted about a day ago.....BRB

You're not a failure. Many people get dismissed or are put on probation. I was on academic probation during my first year of college. It's awful to feel like a failure.. i understand. But, remember that you're not, there is always tomorrow. Move forward and don't let this get you down. I know it's hard, but you can get thru this, be strong. Hugs
