what's your major and cumulative GPA rn if you don't mind me asking?

Political science, 3.0 on the dot

I don't know much about political science academia/the field, but let me tell you that as long as you can keep your GPA above a 3.0 out of 4, it basically doesn't matter. that doesn't mean you shouldn't strive for more (more prestigious places will have a cut-off at 3.5), but don't stress out.

the factor that determines if you can get a job/internship and a GOOD one at that is your connections. talking to college recruiters, professors, smart peers, and keeping contact with them is the most important part about college. the GPA and classes are really secondhand.

going forward, just take your classes a little more seriously. do like 15 minutes of work, 5 minutes of play, until you've hit a quota of like 1 or 2 hours of work done. you can even space out how much work you do throughout the day since you have online classes. retake the class you got a 0 in, and if future employers question you about this period, just tell them truthfully that COVID really took a toll on you.

participate heavily in career fairs and recruitment events. even the most mundane boring s*** like dinners. the more recruiters recognize you, the more you'll be mentioned during the recruiting process.

this is from the mindset of an accounting major though. take it with a grain of salt.

Thank you brother!!! is building connections something I should start now, or should I save it for junior and senior year?

the toughest part about now is that it's hard to make quality connections since you can't meet folk face-to-face. I would 100% make a LinkedIn if you haven't and start connecting with people you know (make sure you send a note asking and thanking them).

recruiters will tend to ignore sophomores and freshmen, but there should be digital events reserved specifically for sophomores. ask your career center and see if you guys have some kinda college board i.e. Handshake. the key now is just to make your face recognizable and let hiring managers know that you're passionate to get working.

You have no idea how helpful this has been thank you homie!!!

Me! Somedays I don’t feel like ima graduate lmao.

Nigga It feels like I’m fighting for my life!! Fighting to graduate with honors, fighting to get into law school, fighting to find a job if I don’t go, fighting depression too

we will make it brother.

when it first went online yea, had to change a class to credit / no credit last minute cause it was looking dicey. but this quarter going solid

If you haven’t, I recommend reaching out to professors about extensions for major assignments you are struggling to hit. Or ways to makeup material you might’ve missed. Maybe some of your instructors will be more flexible in the age of zoom academy. Personally, and especially as I teach a class that students have to pass to graduate, I’ve worked w my struggling students as long as they’ve reached out to explain that they are making an effort to pass

Nooooo you shoulda been done that bro

Its f***ing COVID teachers are understanding

Send him or her a fat email and say exactly that, that you thought there was no point but you don’t want this to hurt your record

Even if you can’t nullify the class it’s not the end of the world, but you should def try it’d make things a lot easier

If not then f*** it bro you have one 0. All that means is one more extra class you gotta take next year or senior year. Aint s*** bro you got this

I love the KTT fam yall been so much help!

Woah your a college professor?

If it's just one semester or even year, you can't sweat it. Happens to the best of us.

If it's community College, you might dead ass be able to ask the prof if there's anyway for you to turn it around. Just be respectful and explain your situation. Make sure to reiterate that you don't expect anything just because you're asking and that you're merely wondering if it's possible.

Then again, if it's a hard class, you may as well say f*** it because there's no way you'll learn 2-3 months of material in this time frame.

Lol no just a grad student, but they got me teaching a pair of intro writing courses rn

Want nothing but success for all my KTT fam

Ayo thats fire

Also talk to advisors mine is so clutch and has came through for me so many times

I remember my math prof told me he would let me do all the past due homework for full credit with less than a mo. Th left til finals.

My b**** ass stll didn't do it, but some prof, especially in CC want you to pass if you actually want to.

and remember kids, after all this you will still be unemployed!

100% in tax rn

yup lol

feel like im not even gonna be able to finish this s***
