I'm in my final (3rd) year of University, on track for a mid-to-low 2:2. I was given this estimate at the end of my second year, which I basically spent messing around. I vowed to myself that in my third year there'd be no messing around or slacking, because if I wanted to do a Masters I'd need a minimum 2:1. So I worked my butt off, tried my best, really put 101% in to my essays. I had to get 65 for each one to have any hope of a final 2:2.
I've just got them back and got 52 for one and 58 for another. Now there is no mathematical possibility of me getting a 2:1, which I was really aiming for, and will instead get a lower-than-average 2:2 grade. Whatever I do now, no matter how hard I try on my remaining essays, I can't get a 2:1; I got the same marks trying really hard as I did when I was a total slacker- I just have no natural talent for the academic task at hand.
I'm not going to quit Uni, and I'll see my course though- but to what end, in your opinion? I've wasted 3 years.
