I have read some students saying that the things they’re worried about in freshman year is not getting a 4.0, which I really think is a mistake. If you get a 4.0 that’s great, it’s something to strive for, but it’s not something to EXPECT unless you are going to a notoriously easy school-- and maybe not even then. It makes it really hard to do your best when you set your standards unrealistically high. There came a point for me where I had to accept that maybe I am only a B student and maybe that’s the best I can do-- and once I did that I actually started getting a lot more A’s. You do yourself no good running yourself ragged going after grades that you just don’t have the skills to get yet, they come with practice.
