Student Hopeful For Good Semester After Another Bad Semester

With the recent end of the spring 2021 semester, Texas A&M University students have had time to reflect on the discouraging results of the last academic term. Despite their lackluster performance, many of these students are still holding out hope that next semester will be better.

“Every semester I think that it’s not possible for another semester to be that bad, but it turns out it can.” Rose Goldenberg said. “I’m currently on a streak of six horrible semesters in a row.”

According to many students, registering for classes has been a great way to reframe their mindset about the next semester. It allows them to look past their failed tests and missing assignments in their current classes and gives them unwarranted hope that things might be better in the future.

On top of struggling with school, students also attribute their bad semesters to the complete absence of friends and happiness. For many, they have tried to make attempts at getting involved and finding community but have only been met with rejection from organizations and people.

“Even though this semester and every one before it have all successively been the worst semesters of my life in every conceivable aspect, one thing’s for sure,” Will Duke said. “Next semester will definitely be different.”
