I would add another reason: subject of class wasn´t interesting. I´ve been close to fail at least 2 classes for this reason. Which prevented me from failing those classes was the fact that I had no interest in taking those classes again (they were obligatory so I didn´t had choice. If those classes were optional I would had quited from those as soon as the opportunity had presented itself), and this motivated me to pass those classes.

Sorry: where I wrote "to pass those classes", I meant "to approve those classes".

This reminds me of a stress related dream i used to have fairly often, but thankfully has diminished over the years. In it, I am back in my senior year of college, about to graduate, when I realize there is one required class I signed up for but never attended. The final is that day, and I won't graduate unless I pass the final. It is always a relief to wake up and realize that I graduated years ago!

Dear College Advisor,
My roommate is an Artisan Performer and I’m a Guardian Inspector.  Usually we get along pretty well.  She realizes that I need quiet time to study.  Part of the time I go to the library and when I’m really deep into study in my room, she tends to spend time with friends.  I like the fun she brings into my life, but I do have one pet peeve.  She throws her stuff all over the room and then snoops into my stuff while trying to get her own picked up.  I haven’t been successful in getting her to change and I wonder if I should get a different roommate next year.
