I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this.

My brother and I have always been rather competitive. All of our lives we’ve gotten identical scores on standardized tests, our SATs, etc. We think differently, but I’m sure we’re on similar intellectual levels.

I love my brother, but he is a bit of a druggie. I know he is almost always on something when I talk to him. He’s a sophomore at UCSC and has maintained a 4.0. I am a senior at W.P. Carey (I went to ASU because I was supposed to marry someone there). I’ve gone through a lot of personal problems since starting here (notice I said WAS going to marry). I get mostly As with a few Bs and I’ve had 2 C+s. My lower division grades were almost entirely As.

Is it easier to get straight As at UCSC than at W.P. Carey? All I ever hear about is my brother’s straight As! I admit that I never study, but I still think my classes are more difficult than those my brother is taking.
