Echo everyone above, if you cut out girls ..you're just gonna stay up all night jerking to the internet porn. Which in turn takes away from studying..and of course not to mention you'll be cranky as hell all the time.
Sex is a great stress reliever...just choose wisely from now on, and the few mistakes you come across, just make sure it's at HER place...not yours. Not knowing where you live works wonders.
Just to add input to what the rest of these guys have said and to give you some input..
I also am hindering in the GPA department due to some job issues last semester. This is preventing me from putting my BDCP package in this semester and hence I am trying for the ROTC program first. If I do not get picked up for ROTC I will be promptly submitting my BDCP package once my GPA is back up..."Any way to get my foot in the door" is my motto.. The only advice I can give is the same thing I am doing... Bust your ass, redo those classes and get your GPA back up. No bullshitting.. Like one of the previous posts said and I can attest for.. Lack of credits is really a blessing in disguise. I didn't have a pot to piss in for most of 2007-2008 due to the economy and trying to find a job.. This also forced me to stop going to school for a year and look for a full time job. I got VERY blessed when the FAA finally called me and offered me a job. Bad part was they wanted me in new hire training a week before finals!!! Well after the drop date... I failed 2 classes and my GPA went from a 3.4 to a 2.6.. I plan on re-taking these classes in the fall and will bring my GPA back up (and some due to classes this spring).
All I can say is if you want this bad enough do not let ANYTHING stop you. I have been working towards this for the last 8 years (was enlisted for 6 and college/work last 2) I currently work full time with the FAA and holding on average 9-12 credit hours of upper level courses. I cannot fathom how bad to you or even myself I want to get picked up.. And that is what you gotta feel.. Once you get that hunger you will be 5x5
In conclusion... imho.. I know you cant help who you love etc... But drop the woman... she sounds like trouble man...

Girls in college, well anytime really, are there to relieve stress if you know what I mean. It's so difficult to raise a GPA but so very easy to drop it. In the fall and winter quarter of 91, I too had a girlfriend with issues. I let my grades drop. I think I had a 2.1 and 1.7 respectively for those quarters. My overall GPA fell big time. It took a lot of work to get it back to a respectable level. I did it and picked up my pilot slot out of NRTOC. It can be done, just takes some focus. Use your women wisely

Don't get sucked up into any relationship drama whatsoever while in college. Your sanity, your GPA, and your social life will thank you for it in the long run (don't be one of those guys that dates a girl for 3.5 years of college and then breaks up during his last semester only to realise that he has no friends because the girl alienated them all). Hump and dump like there's no tomorrow but don't cut out girls all together, just stay away from the ones that want a meal ticket.
Now that you've made that mistake and learned from it, you need to spend your sophomore year busting your ass to get good grades and re-take the classes you did the poorest in.

You don't have a lot of credits under your belt but I'm betting you have some Ws on that transcript for withdrawing. The good news is that because you have so few credit hours it's going to be easy to offset it with a couple 3.5+ semesters. I had a few classes that I didn't do so hot in but I still kept my GPA intact and it paid off in the end. Stay away from dirty broads who screw men that aren't you. Exercise some sense in your choice in women.
I'd say take a break from the ladies for awhile and spend more time with the books.
Don't ditch the dames for good though. Regardless of what some of the fellas on here think they are pretty nice to have around....especially if they know how to take care of you.

I hope you've figured out from what everyone else said the broads aren't that important. Most of the time if you're focused on academics, athletics, and the navy, which is the important stuff, the situations with the broads will work themselves out.
A good buddy of mine told me the following.
"Girls in college are like parking spaces, all the good ones are taking, they are handicapped, or they are way the f*#k out there."
Best of luck

As someone who has deal with shenanigans from the XX chromosome crowd,
If she causes ANY grief, she's gone.
A girlfriend in college should be for FUN. Not a pain in the ass job you PAY to go to.

It is very possible to bring your GPA up quick. Sacrafice a semester and nail every class. It is not as hard as you think, and you will be amazed at how quick a semester goes when your head is in a book 24/7. Went from a 2.2 cumulative to a 3.0 in 3 semesters. Tough but possible. You need to maintain a minimum of a 2.7 GPA to be eligible for BDCP, but obviously you need to be above a 3.0 to consider yourself at least somewhat competetive against the next guy.
And yes, the baby drama BS does not help. No girlfriends or your grades will suffer regardless of whether there is drama or not, because you wont be devoting that time and energy to school. Just find a girl at school that likes to hookup before a big test. That helps everyone! :icon_wink

its getting old...
Or........ what is more obvious is that you could take responsibility for your own shortcomings instead of the old "she did this to me" or "because of her...", etc. If you do lack that much willpower and self respect to be swayed by a girl for over a year, screw up your academics, and then post obvious questions and spill your personal life into the forum then perhaps there are bigger problems that indicate you most likely will blame any problems you have on anybody but yourself.
Personal responsibility is one of the most important factors of being in the military and excuses don't get you anywhere. (and yes, I am prior service so I can say this with a degree of certainty)
Not to sound rude, but seriously, is this a forum for legit questions, or an opportunity to hold hands, wipe tears and boo hoo about how women are the bane of existance and there is absolutely no thinking independently when they are around??? If nobody else says it, I guarantee someone is thinking it... get over it, grow up and be a man. Or if this will be an ongoing problem for you atleast find a better class of women to hang out with- you can't blame anybody but yourself for hooking up with trash.
Good luck anyways...

Girl perspective.
Guy perspective.Girls in college, well anytime really, are there to relieve stress if you know what I mean...... Use your women wisely
Both.
So how is your boo hooing about guys being guys any different?
Its different because I didn't write boo hooing about guys. I just pointed out that this is a real forum for NAVY stuff, not girl problems (as you notated in your "both" perspective). I don't have any problems with guys. Thats all I'm going to comment on because this isn't "MySpace"- and I don't see why anyone cares about my guy problems. If I had some I surely wouldn't vent them here. Really, I didn't even note that I was a girl, you're just assuming I am because I didn't take sides with the guy with all the problems- I just POINTED OUT that blaming someone else for a low GPA doesn't raise it. But ofcourse, anything with the slightest hint of going against the crowd will get everybody all riled up and fingers will just be jumping to type something sarcastic back to put me in my place.
So, before there are all the typical replies to my post with the inevitable oh-so-witty responses, I'm not going to drag it out for three pages of stuff that has nothing to do with GPA questions, but rather a big dramatic "battle of the sexes". This post has pretty much taken the last of the "I really care" out of me as far as this conversation goes. No energy or use arguing a lose-lose situation and I'm not out to change any opinions- just thought I would voice mine and, honestly, I'm surprised anybody cared enough to acknowledge it.
Good luck with the new Spring semester!
