So did I. Don’t let it bog you down too much – you can turn things around and make the next few years better. Learn from the experience.

serious advice
So did I. Freshman year, I fucked up academically, socially, and with extracurriculars. Sophomore year, however, I resolved to turn things around. I made new friends and joined an eating club that I now love. I joined activities/clubs that I’m now proud of. And right now, at the end of junior year, my GPA is 0.2 higher than it was at the end of freshman year.
One bad year doesn’t mean much. You have 3 years left and you will turn things around. Seek out family, friends, advisers, etc for advice, which is what I did.
Look at it this way – it is always better to improve over time than to slowly fizzle out. Other people understand and even admire the person who, despite having one bad semester or year, is able to learn from mistakes and persevere.

I’m a freshman and I’ve always felt like Princeton is incredibly supportive and has a great social atmosphere for any type of person, the only downside is that some classes are horrible. If you transfer to another school there will still be horrible classes and you won’t even get the nice atmosphere/supportive system. Just pick classes wisely.

I take offense
Now who has the upper hand? Me or you? Don’t worry about it, though – it’s not your style.
-
Yeah
Who cares if you use words like “cripple,” “retard,” “yellow,” “chick,” “fat,” or “fag”? They’re just words.
-
umm..
what’s wrong with using ‘fat’?
-
Or
with using chick…
-
Well
Though they’re not all the same level of offensive, I do think that they all have derogatory (or at least not completely respectful) connotations. It may not be as disrespectful to call a woman a chick as calling someone in a wheelchair a cripple or sting as much to be called fat as it would to be called a retard, but that doesn’t mean we have to be disrespectful by saying such things.

The Dilettante
No, see, quite the opposite: your post is pretty transparently *not* me. It has the cadence of someone *attempting* to imitate the mannerisms of a pompous early-twentieth-century dandy, as opposed to somebody for whom that voice simply comes naturally as a result of bad reading habits. Not to mention that I’d never use the word “plebs.” Done properly it ought to sound something like:
These poseurs sound rather more like bad steampunk fanfiction than proper Dilettantes. Not that that’s surprising: one could hardly expect more of illiterates. Doesn’t make it any less disheartening, though.

On the contrary. It’s quite clear that your post is not me, for I am the real me.

This, so much.
During finals (I have four this semester) I’m usually very focused (I hate everything, of course, but still try to focus), so when I finally knock them all down (read: they knock me down), I suddenly have all of this free time and don’t know what the fuck to do with it. Should I see friends, watch an entire season of a TV show, read a book, awkwardly just sit in Frist…? It’ spectacular, of course, not being overwhelmed by work, but it just feels so fucking weird.
Usually I just fill that void with cookies or something.

Former 126 Preceptor
When they assign letter grades, they look for gaps between students. (For precisely this reason — is there a meaningful difference between a 89.98 and a 90.00? Doubtful.)
One or two points in total will be unlikely to change your letter grade assignment unless it drops you from the very bottom of one large pack of students into the very top of another large pack of students.

I don’t understand this. I’m a junior and watching my friends graduate, I’m thinking about how blessed I am to still have another year at this place. Yeah, the workload can be really rough sometimes, but I’m going to be heartbroken to have to leave my friends, the amazing resources we have here, such cool professors. Anywhere you go the work is either going to be difficult (sucks) or not challenging enough (sucks more) – what makes schools different is everything that isn’t papers/problem sets/exams. I love Princeton. I don’t think schools come much better than ours.

Why the fuck are you "blessed"?
The fact that you’re a Junior and not a Senior is purely incidental. Don’t thank your “God” for it.

According to your logic, OP must not like the things about Princeton outside of the papers/problem sets/exams (in order for his/her dissatisfaction of Princeton specifically to be justified).
Then you use extremely subjective terms to describe everything outside of papers/problem sets/exams: “amazing resources” and “cool professors”.
So, OP might not share your opinion that we have “amazing resources” or “cool professors”, or maybe he/she hasn’t been satisfied with friendships here.
“I don’t understand this.”

There could be TONS of reasons that people haven’t enjoyed Princeton… people come here with way different expectations, backgrounds, abilities, and needs than you did, and could face any number of challenges apart from the academics – sickness, social exclusion, mental illness, deciding that they hate elitism, that they miss their family or home country terribly, etc. No need to be defensive about the institution itself.

Usually, one makes a “jump to conclusion” that “fucking up” means you were …genentically predisposed to failing or some bullshit like that. It is almost always because of bad planning and I think you can make an improvement on that.
