    hey guys, guess what.. I fucked up my grades college lol. I can't study well bec. of the noise from the vehicles and the stupid people who always drink and smoke in the dorm, and now I have failing grades. Now, how do I start all over again? I want my grades to be just like in highschool, lol I always get about 95% of the score in tests back in highschool, and now I suck at college, and I can't find good people that can help me lol. So... any tips? I am studying right now btw

    if you really want to make your grades high, then you have to do it .. I think it's also your fault to choose the dorm that was near in the road..lol..

    If studying in your dorm doesn't work try going to a library or some other quiet place.

    dude, if you listen very carefully in your professor, you'll have good grades.. I don't study alot in my house. I use stock knowledge. .

    Don't dorm at all. Rest a place close to campus, it should also be cheaper

    ^ lol, I'm only in HS but always have a hard time studying because everyone talks to me -.- in 2nd yr I had high grades because everyone around me were koreans so no communication w/ others, so I could listen easier

    Take notes in lecture, then rewrite them as soon as you can. Rewriting them makes it easier to organize what your professor just went over, and they're really easy to study. If it's too noisy in your dorm, go to the campus library, or even a coffee shop, to do your studying. If you go to the library, only bring the things you will need, don't bring anything that could be a distraction. Personally, I prefer the library because it's a lot quieter. Talk to your classmates, and try to form a study group. A lot of times, this can be really good, especially for subjects like math, or physics. That's just my advice. This stuff works for me. See if this helps. Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk

    problem of having failing grades is not because of these people. . the problem is yourself. .

    It helps a lot if you pay close attention and then do all your homework while it's still fresh. But it's not your fault to be in a rotten environment. Try really hard to get a scholarship and then gtfo.

    Read that from the preview, Im not reading anymore. Nigger. You need to LEARN how to ignore other people. You can NOT blame other people for your failures. Get some earmuffs, go to the library, go to the back of the library, the roof, SOMEWHERE where you can study. And stop complaining about other people, let them be.

    Go to the library, end of story. Get out of ur dorm if its really bothering you, and just come back to sleep and whatever. Personally, I'd never study at the dorm, drinking, partying, and whatnot. Im sorry but you can only blame urself on this one... gotta learn to take initiative and get the hell out of there, and study at a quiet place. Then marks will go up :)
