When A Dream Becomes A Nightmare.

Planet College presents the opportunity to turn your dream of a career in to a reality. Most students start off their college careers with very high hopes of a degree which will permanently enhance their earning power. Along the way often life stuff comes up. Relationships end. Money problems arise. Class requirements  accumulate to the point of being overwhelming. All this will be reflected in your grades and can adversely affect your progress toward your dream. Sometimes despite a students best efforts stuff happens; Incompletes, Ds, Fs, financial aid probation, grade probation and even disqualification. Gradually, with out any loud warning, a dream turns into a nightmare.

At some schools the semester is winding down. At others the second quarter has just begun. This is a good time to assess. Is your dream becoming a nightmare? Are you loosing ground in your quest for a degree?

If some of the above seems too familiar it could be time for a candid assessment of your progress. This will include exploring the basic realities of obtaining your degree in a timely fashion.

Finding someone to discuss this with is important. It should be someone with a perspective, a little distance from you and your current situation. Planet College offers a number of resources. Program advisers, academic advisers, former professors, even roommates. Just one person, doesn't have to be associated with your school. Someone you can talk it out with.

Talk over the possibilities. Cutting your load next semester? Withdrawing completely? Are there alternatives and if so what are they? Only you can decide, but you need an outside view to make sure you are not loosing track of some useful options.

If you are, in fact, loosing ground and in danger of your dream becoming a very expensive nightmare find someone qualified who can talk it over with you.

Your future is worth this much consideration.
