Cause yeah, I'm about to have my worst grades in three years.

Yeah, calculus is pretty close. It's also bye bye good student discount on my auto insurance for three months if I get less than a 3.0, and I was kind of hoping to make the president's honors list, not that it will happen now, and I still need to get into grad school at some point and get scholarships.

Learn from your mistakes by prayerfully analyzing just how you got to this point, and then (prayerfully) changing your habits and lifestyle to make sure you don't do it again.

And don't sweat it, everybody makes mistakes. Just don't KEEP making them.

As a sixth year senior - I've made my share of them scholastically - but I do know that my future success depends on making sure I really learned from my mistakes enough not to repeat them.

Most of my bad grades came down to not having a system for managing my time properly, and this had myriad effects (not getting enough sleep, not reading the bible regularly, not eating right, getting too many speeding tickets and library fines, and generally being too tired, depressed, or stressed to summon the willpower needed to do quality schoolwork).

So yeah, just make sure you learn and change, and put this behind you. Who knows, you might be very glad in retrospect that you had a time in your life where bad grades exposed some things in your life that God was wanting you to change but you didn't (because He didn't have your full attention, or humility, or whatever).

I know I'm glad for those times in my life. I've learned a lot of things the hard way, and after all that, I'm striving to not have to any more.
Our lives are but a vapor, let us not let waste our time and breath on vanities, but let us spend ourselves for the Kingdom, seeking a better resurrection.
