      first, your GPA probably isn’t “ruined” by a single bad grade.

      second, it’s not “all because [you] wanted to push [your]self,” it’s because (with high probability) you slacked off in the class and didn’t really push yourself as much as you should have. even p/d/f classes shouldn’t be taken totally for granted.

      regardless, that sucks, yo, but you’ll be okay. it’s a learning process. just make sure not to do it again.

      I’ve been doing this year without any problems – just to talk to everyone else, and explain why exactly said person is toxic. If you have legitimate reasons, they will probably understand….well, under the assumption that they are decent people (otherwise they might be toxic themselves….)

        that’s terrible advice. why try to turn others against that person? dumping someone shouldn’t take any active work – you just need to work on the friendships you do value.

        • '12 8:38 pm on January 27, 2012 Permalink

          Did I say “turn everyone else against the person” anywhere in there? I don’t think so. And yes, you need to work on the friendships that you value, but when said friendships are tied to a toxic, draining friendship that isn’t doing anything but hurting you, you need to take steps (such as the ones outlined above) to both extricate yourself from the negative situation and maintain the good one. Obviously this won’t work well if you are acting like a Gossip Girl and just want to ditch the toxic friend for a shallow reason, but if there’s actually a serious reason behind your decision, then other (reasonable & non-toxic) people should be able to understand.

        But our mutual friends don’t understand why I can’t be around the toxic friend… they’d dump me if i dump the friend.

      • Bad advice 8:40 pm on January 27, 2012 Permalink | Reply

        Even if you have legitimate reasons though, if you tell your other friends straight out that you don’t like him/her for any reason, you’re kinda asking them to take sides, which could end really badly.

      Is getting one c actually average?

      • '14 8:17 pm on January 27, 2012 Permalink | Reply

        I’m in the 4th quintile with 3.23, so I’m guessing “average” is around 3.3-3.4, or around a B+. Assuming the “average” student takes 4 classes a semester, 1 C and 3 A’s is a 3.5. So unless most Princeton students blow off one class a semester while focusing on the others, getting one C is not average. This doesn’t account for PDF’s, of course.
