Unless you're in the very small honors program at Catholic High, you don't learn any calculus and very little trigonometry. Its the one area that my education there failed me and made my first semester of calculus a living hell.

Physical Chemistry I. In a class of about 35, I was one of 12 to make it to P Chem II. When I found out I passed, it was the biggest sigh of relief I've ever had.

Spanish. Had to take 2 semesters of it and could never motivate myself to study. The teacher would only talk in Spanish since I passed out of the very intro one and I would zone out so bad.

I was good at science though.

Finance. Only class I failed in college, and failed it twice (had used both of my forgiveness grades on it). Third time was before graduation, and I still don't think I passed it, but I got a mercy C pushed my way when I exaggerated saying I had a great job in the bag but I needed to start in 2 weeks.

I should have gotten an F. Went into the final with a D, got a 50%, ended up with a C.

My first reality check that I'm not THAT smart. I actually have to study to make good grades.

Had her for both labs. That 207 right? Just do the homework and show up. You're guaranteed a C is you do that. Google all the questions and it'll walk you through everything.

I took honors calc 1 at 730 M-F my first semester of college... It sucked at first but I just had to adjust to college. I thought calc 2 was much easier.

Biology was a fricking foreign language to me. Never worked so hard for a D in my life.

I tried Spanish and French but everyone in there already knew some so I knew I was going to struggle. Decided to take Italian, which I ended up enjoying more than any other class. And it was easy as frick since no one went in with any knowledge of Italian.

Art Appreciation is kicking my butt. I have a 4.0, but I will struggle to make an A in this class. Just a genuine lack of interest and being forced to take it is the problem.

organic chemistry



I hated organic also, but a week after grades were due I got an email that basically said our teacher was terrible and everyone got 5 extra percentage points. Brought me up to a B

Art history only because the teacher was insane, unrealistic, and terrible

Graduated with degree in biology and minor in chemistry

Spanish.

Had to take four semesters to graduate with a BA in History.

First three were a joke. I learned absolutely nothing.

Fourth was the real deal. I earned an F, but spoke to the professora the first week of class and told her my predicament. She understood and gave me that D for the degree at the end of the semester.
