>>6529445i'm in a similar situation... i got terrible grades freshman and sophomore year that could ruin my chances of enrolling as an engineering major at uw. as an out-of-state student i'm lucky that my parents are paying for my tuition, but i'll be devastated if i do badly this quarter and toss my chance of graduating as an engineer.
maybe it's not for me, but i feel as if it's what my family of stem majors would want me to do.
keep your head up and don't focus on the past. i'm ashamed of what i did to myself before but i know that the only thing i have control of is what i do in the present and future. good luck.
>>6529762i wanted so badly to major in computer science before realizing that i was pretty bad at programming. i wouldn't say it takes an average person to commit their life to it.
and about what is "interesting to say about yourself," anything that makes you who you are is interesting. i'll be honest and say that it's not easy to really think about how i myself might be interesting, or whatever. but i don't think that's too important or anything to be sad about.
