Am i fucked for life if I did really, really badly for a semester?
I started off last year and got a 3 GPA in my first semester. My second semester my true self showed up again and I got like a 0.8 GPA. It's obviously set me back a lot already since there's classes I have to retake but will future employers look at it and go "no fuck you" even if I get my shit back together in the future?
Tomorrow I start semester 3 and I only have 13 credit hours and I'm hoping to use that to get my GPA back up. If I don't graduate before I'm 24 though I'm going to just straight kill myself. (I'm 20 now, some people even graduate at fucking 21)
My life is a mess, I was given everything and am so incredibly privileged and I just squander it.

Not if you can a) get your GPA back up and b) be able to explain why it was so bad in the first place.

At least you know you've learned a lesson.
Stay focused OP. Do your homework. Go to class. You can recover.

Use it to your advantage, employers love to know you can get over tough times and come out better. Just say it was mentally hard for you to initially adapt to the demands asked of you but you persevered to become a better person.

What were the courses you fucked up in? I got a 3.0 overall but a 3.6 if you only looked at major (finance) relevant classes. I only had to explain it a couple times and I was honest. I was not that great in soft classes and electives (speech, art, pol sci, biology) but I was great at the math classes,
Tbh though nobody cares about your gpa except maybe the first 1-2 people who hire you. Completing a degree is more proof you have some dedication and are not retarded. It does not guarantee that 60-70k job right after college.

man you're saying 3.0 like it's a bad thing
Noone gives a fuck about your GPA unless you're going into med
