Imagine what will you do to compensate for the opportunities that you would lose. And they are not that many, believe me. You clearly not into academic career, so not being able to obtain PhD should not be a big loss for you. In terms of career, you probably will have to start with a more modest job than the one you could get graduating at the top of the class. I'm not even sure it is a bad thing. And I'm not even sure it will be the case. There are zillions of great jobs out there that do not care about your GPA.

I can still get at least a B in all of my classes (maybe even an A in 2 of them even though I failed horribly on the exams). But the thing is I don't know what to do to get there. I'm going to try as hard as I can, and I truly believe I can turn this around.
I do have a positive attitude, just because I made a few posts about me failing a couple of exams doesn't mean I'm going to blow my head off. There are just certain times throughout the week when I get very frustrated (as positive as I want to be, can't deny reality), but actually I am a very calm and collected individual. I feel If anyone else were in my situation, they would have probably done something really stupid already.
