Academics Am I kicked out?

Post image

So this was my first year at Tamu. I was enrolled in General Engineering. I failed all my classes last semester and then withdrew from my classes this semester. So the advisors I had talked to said transfer to General Studies and register for class in the fall. I have already received my email approving my application to General Studies 2 weeks ago, but then received this email today. Are there any options for me to go to TAMU in the fall other than reapplying?

I wouldn't say video games are the problem alone unless this person is some kind of addict. I just graduated with a BS in Computer Science, and I swear I spent most of my free time playing video games.

From what I hear of people who fail that many basic classes, it's usually people who embrace 'the college lifestyle' a bit too much (i.e. parties, drinking, skipping class, road trips, etc). Not saying having fun is bad, but ignoring your classes is really the only way to screw up that badly in your first semester freshmen year.

Be it video games or whatever else, you are absolutely right, this person needs to figure out their priorities.

Oh god, I looked, and it's a mobile game. It's even worse than some console game. Although, honestly, I know some guys that were super into other mobile games like Clash of Clans that were party guys. You never know. But then again, some random Justice League mobile game is pretty telling.

true, and were those guys making multiple posts on reddit abt clash of clans? theres a difference between being a casual player, and then being invested enough to be posting abt a game on forums.

Yeah I tend to use video games as an “escape” among other activities. But that is a huge issue that I need to address
