Failing all classes this semester and it gets worse...!!?

[hawiovi]

I'm a 2nd year university student and it's the final exam period right now. I've been really unmotivated to do anything this semester and now I'm failing all 4 of my classes. I sat for the first two exams, and when i realized that i did horribly in them and was definitely going to fail, i started to feel really stressed and panicked for the third paper, and did something really unforgivably stupid. I decided to cheat by bringing notes into the exam, but i was caught. Now, i'm feeling really regretful and wish that i could take it all back. The third paper was the only one that i had a chance of passing, but now i screwed it up by cheating and getting caught. My last paper is tomorrow and the chance of me passing is really low since i need around 90% in the final exam to pass the course...

What should i do now?? I know i just screwed up my life and i'm really scared!! What can i do?? I feel horrible and i'm regretting my actions. My parents are paying for my education overseas, and i just wasted around $15k of their money by failing this semester. Not to mention, since i got caught cheating, i don't even know if i'll be kicked out of the university, and that'll be wasting all the money paid for my first year... I know i should at least try to study for my exam tomorrow but i can't concentrate because i keep thinking about what will happen. I don't know how i'm going to tell my parents everything, and I feel like i should talk to someone in the uni about this, but i don't know who to talk to, and i'm afraid that when i mention about my cheating in the exam, they won't want to help me anymore. Please help!!! I'm lost and scared and i don't know what to do anymore!!

CRAM CRAM CRAM! Do your best on that exam, and come back next semester and show your parents and the school that you can do better. If your parents cut you off and you have to pay for your own education, that will just motivate you more and if you get kicked out, your credits should still transfer to another univ.
Good luck.

Man, you ****** up. If you're going to cheat you at least have to be smart enough to get away with it. Honestly the only thing you that can save you is if you get your **** together. You're really screwing up. I'm not a psychologist or motivational speaker but unless you're a total moron you KNOW when you're doing the wrong thing. You KNOW when you have papers due and should start early, you KNOW when you haven't studied, you KNOW when you haven't touched the text book the entire time. If you KNOW when you're doing the wrong thing then just STOP DOING IT.

Its time to stop being a child and learn some responsibility. Maybe getting kicked out of school will show you a thing or two and wake your lazy *** up to the realities of life. At some point you're going to have to pay your own way and its about damn time you grown up and realize that. Start working towards a future.

The only saving grace for you is that it sounds like you haven't put in 1 ounce of effort thus far. The only good news there is that if you finally get it through your thick skull that you NEED to grow up and learn some responsibility you might actually pass a class or two. If you had been trying and failing then I would just say you're not cut out for college and to drop out now and go learn how to say paper or plastic.

Take a long breath,and Be relax.
You firstly have to decide what you want to achieve .
If you don't have very mush interest about this course then you must take admission in new one.
forget every thing,and start new life .
Being a failed in examination is so bad,but no one makes us failed without our mistake.
Dear you have to pass the examination .
You have to live your life .
One thing remember no one with you in this world apart from your parents ..Don't let their head down.
take care,and think from today..

lol you didn't screw up your life. Just take them over again....go to talk to an academic advisor and a counsoler..they won't tell they wil help you. Part of being in college is being able to use your resources no matter how bad your circumstances are.

Most universities will not expell students for a first offense of cheating, so long as the student admits what they did and follow the sanctions and the rules of probation. There's a good chance that you'll fail the course, so be prepared for that consequence. You have little chance to change the outcome of this semester at this point, but it is possible to reform your behavior and get back on a positive track if you use this experience that you've caused to learn that you must take your studies very seriously in the future. That means not merely doing things at the last minute or the minimum necessary to pass the class, but instead your goal should be an A with 100% in every class. You probably won't get 100% even if you try your hardest, but you shouldn't get less than 100% without trying your hardest. It is still admirable and worthy of respect to set the highest expectations, then work your hardest to achieve them, and yet fall short of the goal. You can at least be proud of your effort that way.

You need to live the life of a devoted monk or nun for the rest of your studies, with no distractions. Make a list of everything that held you back from studying this year, then give them up. You've made your life much more difficult for yourself. But likewise, you can make your life easier in the long run by giving up frivolous activities in the short term. It feels great to get an A on a final exam or paper as a reward for the pain, effort, and the loss of enjoyable activities to achieve it. Once you get straight A's at the end of the semester, then it's ok to briefly reward yourself with some of fun stuff that you've had to delay to achieve success. Afterward a brief one week break, to relax and sleep, then you should be studying in advance of classes to get ahead of the material. Get the textbooks and read all of the chapters the course will use before the first day of class, even if you don't understand everything, so that you'll be familiar with the material. When assignments are given, start work on them right away - even starting immediately after the class lets out. That will take a lot of pressure off yourself later on. Turn in assignments early, not on the due date. Review whatever assignments you have with the professor during office hours to see if you can get tips to improve your work before you submit it. Take notes of the readings and lectures, type them up, and organize them. That helps tremendously for exams. When the exam does come, you don't need to cram since you'll already be prepared. You only need to review what you've already studied and organized. Your performance will improve by several letter grades merely by feeling relaxed and prepared, instead of hurried, pressured, and unprepared. Get to bed early the night before the exam and get up early in the morning for a relaxing breakfast at a restaurant or cafe. Practice relaxation techniques.

These techniques work. You may learn some other techniques that work better for you, but these are a start.
