First, a little background: I'm 21 years old, majoring in CS. I interned at Microsoft last summer and everything was great. I loved the work I was doing, they loved me and I was offered a full-time position after I graduated (I was supposed to graduate in May). In the job offer that I accepted, they had me set a start date and I picked August 10th.

Here's where things get messy. Over the last two semesters, I have been struggling both with depression as well as with motivation in my classes. Because of everything, I failed some classes and would need the fall semester to finish my Bachelor's Degree. I have been seeking help from a medical professional at my university and I'm taking summer classes, but as I'm picking up the pieces I feel incredibly overwhelmed.

So, my question is what should I do? Would Microsoft push my start date back to allow me to graduate? Should I just not tell them and hope they don't notice? (finish my degree in a couple years) Am I totally screwed? I know that I have a lot of questions, but I guess I'm hoping that my career isn't shot from a few bad decisions/mistakes over the past year.

I really value the opinions of the community here at HN, so any advice or words of wisdom would be much appreciated.
