Build a support system. Get friends who are studying the same or very similar things. Basically you want to be around people who will either pull you into studying or shame you into it.

when you list
>traumatic experience
and
>not being organized

in the same list. you know you are bull shitting. you failed school cuz you didnt care enough to do good.

>hwo do i ensure that i get great grades this semester

by sitting down, studying, and doing your homework. that or blackmail all yuor teachers.

>what can i do for myself besides the obvious
i think you mean
>what magical options do i have

none. the only way to ensure you do good in school is to apply yourself.

>BUT WHAT IF I GET DEPRESSED BTU ALSO FUCK AROUND

thats your choices. even when depressed you still have the choice to do your homewokr

>BUT ITS HARD

yes. hard. nto impossible. the moment you say that doing your homework of all things is impossible, is the moment you claim you are no longer human. you are just a tool that some higher being is using, and his plan, for whatever reason, involves you flukning community college.

you are simultaneously NOT important enough to be part of said god's plan.

again, you may not have a good choice, but you have a choice. no advice will help you combat a 'traumatic experience' or 'fucking around too much'
