Dazed:
I was put on academic suspension for a year from my first college, with the option to reapply. I decided I hadn't really been happy there to begin with, which sort of contributed to the suspension to begin with, and just took the year off, and then applied to a different school. I'm happier now, academically anyway.
Anyway, don't feel too embarrassed. You're certainly not the only one this shit happens to, and it doesn't make you a failure, or stupid, or any other shit like that. There are always options, and ways to pick yourself back up.

it's not even a matter of feeling stupid, more a matter of feeling smart but lazy and unmotivated. and i know my parents are pretty disappointed that this happened, which doesn't help matters any.
but i secretly always thought i'd end up dropping out of school at some point and end up doing something more awesome, anyway.
nevertheless, thanks for the support. <3
Dimmukane:
Same deal here. I knew I was smart, but I had no drive to study or attend most of my classes. My social naivete (sic) was causing me to be ostracized by a lot of the kids in my hall, and I hated the way classes were structured where I was. Found out I was going to be inavoidably put on academic probation the following year, cried for a good hour, and pretty much stopped going to classes. I broke down for a week or two trying to figure out where to go next, found an alternative route, and took it. I was kinda sulky for the first 3 months or so, but once I got adjusted to the effects of my new decision, I became a pretty genial dude and have been since.
Lines:
Today, a girl came into my store and tried to insult my coworker and I by asking, "If you have a degree, why are you a clerk in a shop?" Generally, she was pretty condescending, but hey, she was trying to build a catbus costume for an anime convention. I guess that means you're entitled to be rude to the people who are helping you while in said shop. It doesn't matter that I'm taking a year or so off to work before heading off to grad school in art history/museum studies and that my coworker does freelance web design and also owns two organizations, one for hiking and the other is a non-profit for orphaned kids, it just matters that we're working in a shop. Nope.
Professor Snuggles:
Yeah but see, my grades are good, I am totally engaged in my school, and absolutely don't want to not be taking classes. I took my time off before starting school, and definitely don't feel the need to take any more time off. Plus, there's no way I'd want to go anywhere else, I'd have to take more than one class at once and couldn't go bouldering after lunch every day. I just got arrested while on campus and the school is all agro about it.
Fuckers.
