not slacking off last semester (first semester of junior year). i worked so hard freshman and sophomore year that i got tired of school and REALLY slacked off. i dropped two ranks from 4 to 6
and that was the semester that i took PSAT and did really bad (compared to my SAT score). and overall it hurt my GPA. and i guess participate in more clubs/EC that noone takes part in so can get leadership positions......
i guess basically change my whole semester before winter.
(currently still a junior who has learned from her mistakes and is working her butt off to bring GPA back up and feels like a loser to get fed up with everthing the year grades count the most..)
