I may fail one of my college courses, and I feel like this is the end of the world. Will this greatly impact the rest of my life? What's something that you've tried your best at but failed miserably?

It may well impact the rest of your life but it is not the end of the world. Failure is not always a bad thing, sometimes we need to fail, need to hit rock bottom to clear things up and start again.

It will impact your life temporarily but you can always retake it for a better grade. If you retake it only your better grade will count. I sucked at college too. I took college algebra 4 times and failed EVERY TIME..just could not grasp it so don't feel bad. It seems like everything I have attempted in life especially over the past 3 years I have failed at but so I understand the feeling. Hang in there

I failed a few of my university courses in my second year of undergraduate studies, yet I went on to achieve three degrees (including my Masters degree) within 8 years. I remember feeling depressed and miserable when I failed my second year (and getting suspended) because of my low marks, but looking back now, I think it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. It made me take a step back, analyze my situation, and re-direct my goals and interests. It's times like those (I call them the "bumps" in your life) that are actually the most "constructive" times in a person's life. Don't look at this as the end of the world, but the beginning of something potentially good. Use it to re-analyze your situation and your goals, and then you will be able to make better choices in the near future. Maybe what you have now is not the "right choice" for you. It is a good opportunity for you to make a good change in your life. Believe me. Good luck.

Heck, I failed one college course (for my major, no less) twice. Once I got my diploma, no one was the wiser. They don't ask for your transcripts at job interviews. Now, I'm not ADVOCATING failing a class, but it won't ruin your life, as long as YOU can get over it. Good luck!

I failed 2 classes my first semester of college. I retook them and went on to graduate with high honors. It's not the end of the world...just learn from your mistakes and do better.

I hope you didn't fail it in the end, Ender. You can choose to allow this event to impact your life in a positive way, by learning from the mistakes you made that led to your failure in this class and choosing not to repeat them. Just take the course again. There was a math course I took once, where I studied and did all of my required assignments but I failed my first test miserably and knew I had to drop the class. I learned that I needed to find a way around the situation, and found a different math class where I was able to do the work.
