How do you keep believing in your long-term goals when your current GPA or academic record doesn’t reflect your effort or ambition? #Spring25
I’m currently a college student working toward a degree in Marketing and plan to transfer to a four-year university next year. I’ve had some rough semesters due to burnout and personal challenges which affected my GPA despite working hard, especially outside the classroom (internships, freelance work, content creation, etc.). I’m trying to stay focused on the bigger picture and keep building toward my career goals, but it’s hard not to feel discouraged sometimes, especially when my transcript doesn’t reflect how much I’ve grown. If you’ve ever had to bounce back from an academic setback, I’d love to know what helped you stay confident and keep moving forward.

I'm thinking of taking the 2+2 route, starting at a CC and transferring to a 4-year for my bachelor's. What should I be prepared for? Tips? Advice? Is this the right choice?
I'm a high school senior, 4.3 GPA and going to a CC and transferring feels like I'm failing at life. Dramatic, I know, but there's a lot of pressure on me to go straight to a 4-year.

Please give ANY advice you have to work through this problem!
Is memorization important in engineering?
I'd consider math my best subject, but if it's been a while since I've done a specific type of problem, I usually have to reteach myself. Is this normal?

However, if I were given a problem from the beginning of the school year, I'd probably struggle with it. Would this negatively impact my exam grades in college or affect how well I perform as an electrical engineer?

How can I stop procrastinating and stay on top of my work while studying to become a pediatric nurse I know nursing school comes with a heavy workload, and I want to develop better time management skills now instead of constantly cramming at the last minute. Are there any strategies or habits that have actually worked for other students or professionals in high-pressure fields??
I’m a freshman in college finishing my second semester. For as long as I can remember, I’ve struggled with procrastination. No matter how much time I have, I always end up waiting until the last minute—if something is due on Sunday, I won’t start until 6 PM that day. I’ve tried different strategies, like locking my phone away or listening to classical music to help me focus, but nothing ever seems to stick. I really want to break this habit before I get into the nursing program because I know I won’t have time to procrastinate once I’m there. If there’s anything that has truly worked for others, I would really appreciate the advice.
