Hey all, this will be like a rant and it will be long. I will be 21 in 2 weeks and I feel lost. I am a junior in college my gpa is around 2.5 gpa and in last two semesters my gpa scores were above 3.1 so I was hopeful but this semester i failed a class so i will get 2.5 this semester. I have four semesters left and I have decent change to end up 2.9 3.0 ish which is again not great but not outrageous either. I feel like a burden to my parents I never told my gpa or anything because I thought I could improve which i did from 2.2 to 2.6 last year but this semester will be a setback for me. In my college there is a forgiveness program so i can take that failed class again and replace my failing grade which would bump my gpa to 3.1 ish for this semester. I never really worked that much, which yeah i know sounds unbelievable. I was suppose to start a on-campus job this semester which i was pretty excited about but they have been terrible communicating and by the time they reached out to me it was April so they said lets start your employment next fall. Hopefully this time i will start. The thing about me is that I am a dual citizen but was raised in a foreign country. And frankly I learned english on my own and while it is good enough to study in here I almost always behind my peers. When I have job/internship etc interviews I communicate poorly because of anxiety etc and unless they are stupid, every american college student is better than interviews then me. I have a unpaid internship lined up for next fall but it is pretty small non profit but ig it is better than nothing. This summer I will be flying back to home to spend with my family, which i am looking forward to but I don’t want to spend it with nothing but laying down all day. I secured two remote volunteering gigs that i will be doing throughout the summer but well they are just volunteering. I am interested in marketing/pr which is prob only thing i am not terrible at. I was thinking about starting 1-2 side projects and get some free hubspot and google marketing certifications and will do those volunteering projects. I sometimes feel like I am too late to succeed and frankly feel like a failure to my parents. They always supported me and funded my education, thanks to the financial aid it is not that much of a substantial amount for them otherwise the guilt would ruin me. Anyway, I am looking for some advice. I have exactly two years to graduate and I simply don’t want to look back and regret and end up unemployed and staying at my family’s home. When I look forward I can see myself with one shitty internship and 2 small volunteering projects with 2.9 gpa and I just want to change this, but not sure what to do. I think this is the first time i did let these all out I didn’t tell it to anyone and I am now telling it to thousands of strangers lmao. I just texted my family like nothing happened because I don’t want them to think I am struggling and pretty much Inal trying to buy some time, which i have 2 years of it. Anyways sorry this is the end of my rant. Looking for advice
