moral of the story: figure out what you want to do and work hard at it. don't go into anything half assed because your results will be just as bad.

this right here gave me a real wake up call. Sorry to hear that charlieH but thank you for sharing. i've been slippin after i came to university but after hearing that i gotta try my best to avoid the same thing cuz im heading down the same road right now. cruised through hs and not changing up the old habits. luckily its still my first year and still got another semester to get myself together.
also gotta thank JKam and twitchyzero. I wish i heard that earlier. to those of you going into post-secondary soon, HS GRADES DONT MEAN SHIT and the courses do not prepare you either!!!
