Senior Year

I'm a little down today.This is the last time I'll talk about it and finally just accept what has happened and move on.  I've done all that I can and yet it just seems I will not be graduating as planned in May. I feel like I overworked myself over the years and for what? To not even graduate "on time"

The story goes...

I ONLY need 4 classes to graduate this semester. Since it was my last year I figured registration would be smooth sailing. SIKE. This has been the most complicated and difficult registration. I was unable to get into three of the classes that I needed due to the class being full. I've contacted all professors--one even being the dean. I was able to get into 2 of the 3. The one class that I need is "over maxed" and there is no way I can get into the class. I just want to scream! I can sit on the floor! I just need to graduate in May as planned!

There's a somewhat upside. The class that I need will be offered in the summer, but even if I take it in the summer I'll be 22 by then. That plus my graduate application is due in July. I won't graduate until the end of July. How does that effect my acceptance? What am I going to do for fall semester if I'm unable to get into graduate school? work? move back home?

I'm not sure what I am going to do. I went to a four year school for a reason--to graduate in 4 years and not 4 1/2!

I feel like not only did I let myself down, but everyone who has supported me this far. I'm sorry.

  1. Mace, you are being wayy too hard on yourself. You need to stop, breathe.. Its not the end of the world and things will have a way of working out. 4.5 years is nothing compared to those that didn't even go to college or those that won't be graduating for 5 years!! It was out of your control so you shouldn't blame yourself. My question is does that mean you are not walking?? Should we or should we not look for plane tickets?? Cheer up, you'll be ok.
