I am a first year student in college and I have failed all of my classes for the first semester. I do not have any health problems nor has anything tragic happened in my family. My only excuse for failing out is laziness and procrastination. After failing out, my life has been hell and I really regret this. I now have the chance to appeal to the school to allow me back in but I really don't know what to say. Could somebody please help me?

Write a plan as to what you will do to get acceptable grades and let the school know they can let you go if you don't follow this. Then take school seriously if you really want to complete it.

Just emphasise how you were unprepared for college life and had trouble adjusting to the demands of higher education. It's hard to adjust to college because professors don't remind you about assingments like high school teachers do, and they don't punish you if you do bad on assignments. In college if you don't do your work you fail, that's it. It's important to use big words in your appeal, and use them correctly. Stress how you will ensure this will never happen again, and how hard you will work to be an exemplary student. No institute respects laziness and procrastination, because it is your responsibility to work hard for an education you're obviously paying for. However even though that kind of behavior is frowned upon, it happens all the time and I'm sure at some point they understand how and why students fall into a rut. Use every tool in your arsenal to try and persuade them to give you another chance, but it wouldn't hurt to get the advise of someone you know that is good with words (writer/speaker). Start by appealing for reinstitution, but try to negotiate for a probationary period. If you argue for probation then you can work on improving your college performance, and showing the administration that you are taking college seriously. If they see you are working to improve your college career and keep it well standing they will take you off probation after a semester or so, and you can get back to focussing on what you want to achieve in college. Good luck with college, and remember that in college hard work really does pay off.
