Hi,
I am Computer Science graduate and currently a Software Engineer at Samsung. Also, a National Champion and World Finalist of Microsoft Imagine Cup, which is the most prestigious technology competition in the world and almost every CS student dreams of it. You might just think what hell!!!! This guy has quite a smooth life, but that is really not the case. After 1st year at University, I got hooked with infamous drugs somehow and I dived deep into the pit of frustration, which I now think was really idiotic. Anyway, my grades fell a lot (from 2.98 to 1.8) and I became a probationary student. My teachers and parents scolded me for that. After wasting almost 2 years in those **** drugs, I started to feel that this cannot be the end for me, I have to become stronger. Then I started to get rid of the drugs and bad hangouts gradually and started all over again, it was really hard because there was nobody to support me, but I supported myself. The effort was paid off and my grades started to rise and I become a very serious student. Then, I met my girlfriend who turned to be my greatest inspiration and achieved the impossible. Although I graduated with not so good CGPA (pulled it back to 2.79), but with the best achievement in the whole university. Sometimes I still get depressed whenever I think that things could have been better, but thinking over the things I have gained I try not to regret and doing quite well now.
Recently, I received MSc. in Software Engineering offer letter from University of Adelaide, which is one of the best in Australia and in the world, and will be leaving my country soon. I really want to get a good academic standing in Masters, but the problem is, having not so good CGPA and two F in my transcript bothers me a lot, which really doesn't matter actually. But, it does bothers me and sometimes makes me depressed that my grades could have been a lot better and those two F's wouldn't be there. Can anyone help me to get rid of this stupid problem?

If I understood you correctly, your concern is with your poor grades in some years. As long as you have strong and honest reasons, many schools are considerate enough. We as human being, makes many mistakes. It is natural to make mistake but the point is, understanding the mistake and building all over again from there.
Personally, from my experience in the industry, many will be more than happy to give you a second chance, after making sure that you are honest and truly reformed. I believe schools will be similar. If some schools does not trust you, you yourself reject those schools. As the schools has too many options, mind that, as a student, you too have too many options.
Finally, don't think too much about the past. Past is past and can not be rewinded. Learn from past and move on. The world is really too BIG!
