I graduated with a 3.17 with a BS in Psychology. I never pass/failed any of my classes, and I had a major depressive episode during my sophomore year of college. Although I didn't fail any of my classes, I think it did affect my GPA a little because my energy level was so low during that time. I also don't think that GPA really matters all that much in the greater scheme of things. I may not have the greatest GPA but I did genuinely care about the subject matter in my major, even if I didn't test as well. In some classes I did fantastic and got A's, while other classes I didn't do so well in. I think part of that was teaching style and trying to find out what the professor thought was important to know for the test. I also don't do as well in math classes because of the sheer amount of homework that I would have. I also made small mistakes, like reversing numbers or putting a decimal point in the wrong place. I'd always check, but then something like that would always be wrong. Sometimes I didn't have time to complete the entire homework assignment, or I was trying to fit it all in with all my other homework and it didn't get done to the quality that I wanted (sometimes it wouldn't get done at all). It was hard fitting school in with sports and band (I had a music scholarship, and I've always loved running so I joined the track and XC teams). Scheduling things and transitional periods were definitely some of the hard things about college. It was hard, but I'm glad I got through it
