Multiple F's on my Transcript

I am in my last year of undergrad and I have had a hard time in college. From entering while not being prepared for the academic rigor of college, being the first generation in my family to go to college, having some pretty difficult family situations happen during my time at college, and also sometimes just being straight-up lazy, I now have several F's on my transcript. Some are in my major and others aren't. I want to pursue grad school to do music therapy and maybe even become an opera singer. However, with several F's on my transcript, I fear that I won't get into grad school at this point.

You won't get into graduate school unless you retake those classes and take them VERY SERIOUSLY. Keep in mind also that retakes are noted on your transcript and you may well be asked why you needed to redo those courses. How did you screw up a wonderful opportunity to improve your life so badly?!

You can do anything you set your mind to. If you ever need someone to chat with feel free to message me.
Can you retake those courses?

@InvictusIndigo what does your counselor advise?? i think you answered your own question, you cannot give it 100% effort and you dont have natural aptitude maybe.
be realistic and cut your losses. enjoy performing with local symphony, choir , etc

@InvictusIndigo Make sure you look at academic probation for what it is, a second chance. You get to decide what you do with that chance, and it sounds like you're in a good place to make the most of that chance! You've already done one of the hardest things - separated the mistakes you've made vs those outside of your control. Everything that's come before has the potential to be wisdom to help you succeed now. How we stumble isn't as important as how we recover. I think you've got this!
