Masters degrees aren't for people who did okay.
If there were circumstances that contributed to not doing as well as you could have you don't need to feel like you could do better, you need a specific plan to do better.
fine, you got me! I was terrible at it. but don't I deserve a second chance?? I will do better in Masters.
I didn't admit it in the post but I wasn't mentally well when I was doing Masters. I had severe social anxiety and afraid of everything. which contributed into not so good performance in bachelors. but now after taking medicines for 2 years I am fine. it feels like Masters could be my second chance.
