I failed my last semester, because I got depressed and just didn't go to class. That just made me even more depressed.

I started working without my degree, and got my hand stuck in the monkey trap, meaning, I had rent and bills, so I needed to keep working and didn't have time to go back to school.

Finally, a few years later, I realized that I was pretty much only missing electives, so I went to a community college at night and transfered the credits back to my private school. Of course, they had to be approved, but it was simple enough. Then I got my BA! I was so super happy and proud!

Another neat thing, was that I was able to transfer credits from my private school to the community college. This made me exempt from most of the mandatory classes, and I got to take what I want. Then it was just a matter of a few additional classes to get an Associate's degree. I enjoyed it so much, that I also got a welding certificate. I also did enough work to get a second associate degree, but they refused to give that to me (there was too much overlap between that and the associate of arts I already had), but the classes are still on my transcript!

It all came together when I was finally 30 years old! It was a long time coming. The entire time, it was eating away at me. But, I did it. And no matter what, you'll be able to figure out a way, too. Either take them again (which usually overwrites a bad grade), or maybe take some time off to get your head back in the game, or maybe they're classes you can take a different institution, where you'll have a clean slate and more motivation, and transfer back. Just keep at it and you'll figure something out!
