Best course of action?

Current cs student in US, I am failing my classes this semester and my gpa will probably drop below 2.0 and that means i get kicked out. My parents dont know about this, and its slowly killing me inside( the thought I might not get either one, and be jobless and homeless), waiting on fb and aws results for internship , I feel so hopeless idk what to do. anyone been there?

Calm down first of all. Solve the worst case first somehow - avoid getting kicked out. Then, tackle each problem one by one. Remember, it will all be fine at the end. Common, you can do it

Take it easy and take a step back. Try not to let your thoughts be self damaging but reflective. If you drop out, you drop out but was there a reason why? Maybe there is something you should change? Most of all, understand that you’re in America and you’ll be fine. Finish school online and at least get your degree

I will follow this and be reflective and hopefully improve

Successive events that led into this, started commuting b/c I could not afford school, skipped classes except my CS ones, failed multiple interviews, rejected a lot

Apply to another school asap as a second option. You're getting exam result jitters. I guess your results might be posted within the week? Apply to another school as option 2. Just incase something happens. Trust me.

It’s not about a girl, but guess this could have been one that started my downfall 😒
