I feel so bad. I was taking a math course this semester and recently dropped the class because it was getting too hard and I was obviously going to fail. In all honesty, it was my fault. I failed to show up to some of the classes and didn’t bother catching up. I was intentionally behind on homework and was failing every quiz that landed in front of me; I never bothered studying.

This professors is one of the sweetest people at my school and really made class interesting, as she is one of the only elder professors that still have some enthusiasm left in them.

Well, I got an email from her claiming that she noticed my withdrawal from the course and that she respects and understands my decision and hopes to “cross paths” with me again in the future if I were to ever re-take her course. After reading that, I felt TERRIBLE. I ended up emailing her back and lied claiming that I was backed up with too much work from other courses (when I’m only taking one on the side), and that I plan on re-taking her course again in the future. I doubt I will.

Professors NEVER email a student when they drop out of a class. EVER.

This really shows that she cares a lot and I noticed it a while ago. Not only that, but the girl I’ve been sitting next to since day one, was also sad to see me go. I hunted her down on social media to send her a message and let her know that I had dropped the course since I obviously couldn’t attend class anymore to let her know.

I don’t know. I just feel like a real p************ for not trying to stay in this class. I could have had a good time, got a decent grade that was enough to pass on, and stayed until the end with the girl next to me and gotten closer to her.

F***.
