1. Due to the meteorite falling in the Cetaceans Period, dinosaurs became completely extinct, but some species have still subsist until today.
- 'meteorite' spelling error
- 'Cretaceous' spelling error
- 'completely became' is the wrong word order
- 'subsisted' was changed to the present tense 'subsist as you 'were taking 'today'
2. Computer programing is one of the most convoluted subjects.
3. His study plan is surefire because I could get an A in my math class after applying it.
- 'surefire' works here but keep in mind that is an American slang term and should not be used in formal speech or writing.
- 'in' is required to show the connection between your 'A' grade and the math class.
- You got an 'A' because of the study plan meaning thro plan must have been applied before any tests. therefore the study plan's application should be in the past tense. 'after' fixes this.
4. I need to scribble for taking notes in the lecture as my professor speaks.
5. Since the government spent too much budget on unnecessary policies, it declared the austerity.
- 'Austerity' (when a standard noun) is not a definite article and does not require 'the'.
6. I am badgered by one of my friend because he always pushes me to hang out a lot.
- 'badgered' spelling mistake. Also, be careful! I almost mistook your original miss-spelling as a particular British slang word. That word would have changed the meaning of the sentence so drastically that I don't think I can't go into detail here! It isn't your fault, don't worry!
7. Financial crisis's always impede money from circulating smoothly.
- 'crisis's' is an example of how you pluralise certain words ending 's'. In this case add ' 's ' to the end.
- 'smoothly' spelling error.

1. Due to the meteorite falling in the Cretaceous Period, dinosaurs completely became extinct, but some species have still subsisted surivived until today.
2. Computer programming is one of the most convoluted subjects.
3. His study plan is surefire because I could ('was able to' is a better, I think) get an A on in* my math class applying it.
4. I need to scribble for while** taking notes in the lecture as my professor speaks.
5. Since the government spent too much [of the budget/you don't need any words here] on unnecessary policies, it declared the austerity.
6. I am bugged/bothered by one of my friends because he always pushes me to hang out a lot***.
7. Financial crises always impede money to circulate smoothly. the smooth circulation of money.
*Not an important correction. The grammar is not 100% correct but native speakers do this too.
**You could also just write 'I need to scribble taking notes.'
***You already said that your friend 'always' pushes you so you don't really need 'a lot.' Not grammatically incorrect, however.
Your English is great! Keep it up!
A few points:
1. Try to check your spelling.
2. Nominalise your verbs if the sentence sounds wrong (or you want to sound smarter.)
E.g. circulate smoothly -> smooth circulation
3. 'Subsisted' usually means to support yourself with very little. For example, 'I subsisted on a bowl of rice per day for a month.'
