Since there's already a thread for complaining about things at work, and schools pretty stressful, too!

Oh jesus christ, I culd go on and on about my chem this year. Most of the homework had to be turned in through an outdated program, the lessons were hard for me to follow, and to put the rancid cherry on top of the turd sundae, he changed the date of the final exam. At least the second professor was nice.

Right now I'm in Chemistry, and let me tell you, it's a bitch. I can do math. Math is really easy for me, but science in general is just horrible All I want is for science to not be a required class, is that too much to ask?

Ordinarily I love science, which is my I'm a biology major, but I'm failing Cell Bio. I hate Cell Bio, I never want to have to take it again, but I’m failing it so I probably will have to take it again, but I don’t even feel like I’m learning anything so if I do take it again I’ll probably just fail it again. I have every accommodation for this class and I still just can’t handle it. I should have signed up for tutoring, but it’s too late for that, I’m failing.
My grades are getting worse and worse because I don’t know any of this and I’m getting to the point in the class where I know less and less! Maybe I could pass if I devoted a whole semester to this class and nothing but this class, but I wouldn’t have enough credits to be considered a full-time student if I did that. I don’t know what I can possibly do, I'm not actually going to but it makes me feel like killing myself because this is it, this is where I fail. I’m starting to go through burnout, I’m failing a class that I never want to take again, this is the end of the line, this is where all my dreams fall apart.
I've been scared about the possibility of failing before, but this time it's for real, and in my major. I've sacrificed my health like I never have before for this class, and I'm still failing. I have a lot of talent in science, too, it's just this specific class that looks like it's going to destroy my future, I don't know what to do.

I have a lot of talent in science, too, it's just this specific class that looks like it's going to destroy my future, I don't know what to do. I felt the same way about Algebra last semester. I always hated math. It's my weakest school subject. I flunked my class and tried to get help but didn't understand much of it at all and I was sick at the final and wasn't able to make it. I had to retake my course this semester and it has been a huge difference with extra help, a great teacher who explains things very clearly, and I was very determined to pass the class to move on as it's a general ed. requirement. I had this class as my only class this semester, but that's fine with me because the most important thing is to get over that hurtle to transfer. It's perfectly fine to have only one class on a semester that you're struggling with so you can focus on passing it. I know college is a lot of work. Have you tried Rate My Professor? It's a site where you look up a school and you find the name of your instructors and you see the reviews on each professor by students and it really helps! That's how I checked right after I signed up for my class to find out because it was really important to know. Plus my current professor is more experienced than the last one I had. It could be the case for your Cell Bio teacher. I don't know about your school if there are any other teachers who teach that class, but it's good to check out for options. Also, tutoring is essential and if your school offers free drop-in tutoring, go for it! Don't beat yourself up.. The key is to never give up! Once you pass, you may not have to deal with that particular subject again and go on to the things you love in the science field. Here's an inspiration video for all of you at school during finals:
