Academic failures in College

There are many reasons a student may not be serious throughout his or her academic years in schools especially in universities or college. It's obvious that not many students in higher institutions take their books seriously hence the reason why many fail academically. A university is a place full of many experiences that may contribute to a student's success or failure. Many a times students fail in school just because of the fact that they couldn't put enough seriousness to their academic pursuit.

It's often believed that once you get into university or college, you have your own free will as you have matured to some extent and should take responsibility for your actions and whatever you do. That's why it's impossible to beat or talk crap to a student who is not serious with school work since he or she is not a kid anymore. You can't start to beat an adult because he or she fails exams. There are other measures that could be put in place though. Talking about why students fail in school and not get serious with their academics may be as a result of many reasons which includes;

1. BAD PEER INFLUENCE.

Many students entered into college or university with a very bright and sound mind. However in the due course of time, they were influenced by their so called friends or mates in school which ultimately led to their being not serious with school anymore. Many bright students were led into thinking there are more better and shortcut ways to passing exams in school other than reading.

Some students were influenced by their peers in the form of adopting wayward lifestyles that may hinder their concentration with their academics. The popular adage says that "Show me your friend and I will show you who you're" explains how important is the role friends play in others' life. If you want to succeed and not being a failure inn school, then you must not be influenced by friends in a negative way. Know the kind of friends to keep because your friends determine your success or failure.

2. WRONG COURSE OF STUDY.

Many students take their study with levity hands because they're not studying their dream course. This always happens when a student cannot meet up with the required cut off mark to study this desired course and have to change to another course of study.

It is quite unfortunate that many students were given course that doesn't not match their strength and desire to study and may necessarily warrant failure on the part of the student in the long run. Many students are less interested in the course they're currently studying in school since it's not their dream course and it can't be changed due to some very special circumstances they don't have power over. And once their interest is not aligned with whatever course they were given, some of them lose interest immediately and all what they care about is just graduating irrespective of whatever grades they graduate with.

3. INABILITY TO STUDY HARD FOR EXAMS.

This is the most common reason why students fail in schools. Many students cannot study very well for exams and ultimately fail once they face their exams. Proper preparation avert failure they say. If you can't study hard for your exams as a student, then what's the guarantee of passing your exams?. Many students look for cheap ways to pass rather than reading and studying hard.
