I think i made a HUGE MISTAKE....that i can't take back.
See, I'm a freshman in college. I had VERY BAD start to college. My friend I was living with transfered after 2 days...they then placed a Jehovah Wittiness in my room.. she attempted to convert me...i moved out...moved in with a sports girl...girl's roommate came back...I was forced to move. Now I have my own dorm.
Up until....2 weeks ago i had VERY FEW friend's and I made no effort to make friends. NOW....I finally went out there made an effort and have tons of friend's who are sad I am leaving as am I!!!! I never thought I would be sad.
Now, also I'm very stressed....
I am failing my one class..criminal justice....he told me he has to curve the class because about 72% of students are failing. I'm transferring to a community college next semester...3 credits won't transfer and if I do poorly in my one class...I will only end up with only 9 credits!!
I think I made a HUGE MISTAKE by transferring back home!! what do I do now?

Many colleges have free counseling for students, and the insurance of many parents oftentimes covers such treatment anyway.
The questioner should get some professional help, and work to overcome her religious intolerance and scapegoating.

You need to calm down. I dont even see the huge mistake. You had a bad year-use this as a motivator for next year. You really did not do anything wrong. Just set your goals for the time you are at the community college and figure out your steps to get to those goals. If your goal is to go back to a state college, then go back. So you did not make friends. Start now. If 3/4 of the class is failing, I see that as a sign the prof is doing something wrong. You can made the grades back up. You can retake the class if you fail. There is no time schedule with college. Some graduate in 4 years, some more. I was on the 6 year plan due to only taking classes part time. I still graduated and I have a good job. Use this time at home to learn from the decisions in the past that you did not like, and make better ones. Stop beating yourself up. There are people who are alot worse off than you! Think of the good things you accomplished--you are in college. That is completely impossible for some. Be proud of yourself. So you stumbled, now you learn from it. That is adulthood. You will stumble a million more times, you get back up and go again.

You'll just have to make the best of it. There really isn't anything else that you can do unless you stay at college. Why can't you stay where you are? Just because you've applied and have been accepted at the community college doesn't mean that you have to go. Stay with your friends, straighten out your grades and keep working. The freshman year of college can be really difficult for some students. You'll be fine but I don't think you should transfer. Another option is to transfer to the community college for a semester, do really well in your courses, and transfer back to your first school after a semester. There are always options.

You don't have to continue the transfer if you have changed your mind unless you missed the chance to register for next semester. Go to the registrar at your current college and check your status.
However, it isn't as big a mistake as you think. It is a long life. losing a few credits is not going to be the biggest mistake you ever make, by far. Five years from now when you have gotten your diploma, it won't be that important. It may delay you a quarter at most. Perhaps community college actually will be a better place to launch your life as a grown up. We have all made mistakes.
Also, if we make mistakes and can learn from them, then we realize that this is just part of the process of growing up.

There's no way at all to stay where you are? I would be surprised if that couldn't be worked out with your current school.
If you are able to pull it off, in addition to making these news friends, you clearly have to buckle down and focus on your schoolwork.
Otherwise, I guess you have to bite the bullet and take that transfer, with whatever credits you get. Commit to focusing on your schoolwork and take that "friends" lesson with you. Put yourself out there a bit more, join clubs, get to know your fellow students and have a more enjoyable time.
Good luck, however this unfolds...

You can make up credits by adding online courses and they aren't that hard!! OR that expensive! Regardless of many thumbs down, I have helped some women in "battered" situations have a much better outlook on life by taking these courses and they now have JOBS!!! and make MONEY , are NOT living on welfare or foodstamps, or btw, our taxes.....
Keep up the good work and use your OWN intuition and your own best thoughts on to what you should do! This is just a thought, but online courses really CAN help you catch up!
Best wishes!

Don''t transfer, stick out where you are for another semester to give it a chance.
Secondly go to your professor and ask for extra credit.
