yeah, i lived on campus first year and played games until like 4-5 every night, only to have class at 8am LOL. needless to say i missed a bunch of classes but thought i could do well on the exams if i just crammed a little. definitely wasn't the case though

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!!!

yeah man, learn from our mistakes and don't fall into that hole. once you're in it's a BITCH to get out. even just dedicating ONE hour a day to doing some readings and keeping yourself updated with the course material will help so much in the long run. the hardest thing for me was going to class. at first i would just skip here and there, but after a while it became a habit and i ended up skipping a week of class at a time. by the time i finally went back, i was so far behind in the course material that i just figured, "fuck it, i can always retake it next term". and after that it just became an endless cycle.
