Burnt Out + GPA in a Free Fall

I don’t know what to do. I started so strong in my first year, and I joined so many clubs and started working on campus now during my second year I’m trying to carry on being strong like that. But my grades have been in a landslide.

So some background info: I’m trying to get a 3.7 GPA to apply for scholarships abroad (I don’t know the language of my home country so I can’t stay here, everyday is a humiliation ritual and I’ll never find permanent work off campus)

Last semester I got a 3.4 GPA because a war broke out in my country and we had to switch to online and it’s so unfair. They gave us the option to switch to pass/fail but it’s worse to have that to for major classes than to just take the low GPA. At this point I’d realized I was doing too much so I reduced club work, work hours, etc and took a mental health break after the semester was over.

Now we have the summer semester in person (Data Structures for Comp Sci), and today I took the midterm for what is arguably my most important class, and I missed all the easy questions. I’m so exhausted. I knew I had to review the specific easy sections but I didn’t have time and I can’t afford a B+ in this class because it’s one of the most important for my major. That’ll be a 3.3, bringing my GPA down even more.

My grades are by no means bad but they’re my saving grace to escaping this hellish country and my language barrier. I study fully in English so it’s easier but idk what I’m doing wrong. I know the classes are harder but I feel so burnt out and tired all the time, there’s so much family and work stuff I have to do on the side.

Any advice? I need to be more organized and study better :(

Safety tips for hooking up in a homophobic country?

Hi, M20 Iraqi here. I haven’t done anything sexual and I really want to.

I downloaded scruff yesterday and found a guy very near to my area. He sent me his body pics and I sent him mine (no face) and we both seemed cool with each other so he told me to come by at 6-8 PM tomorrow. He wants to do it in his car in a place just outside my city, since he lives with his parents and his apartment is even further.

We agreed on just oral sex and potentially some fingering stuff. He’s a strict top and I don’t want my virginity taken yet.

I know I sound paranoid and crazy but how do I know he’s not setting me up? He gave me an insta that looks legit but I really don’t know. Also what are some general sex tips I should practice? Do I need a condom for oral sex?

Anything helps. Thank you guys!
