<p>Let me preface this by saying that I went to a decent public high school, where one or two people made it into ivies in my class. I was not an auto- 4.0 in high school. Gradewise, I was not even in the top 10% of my class. In terms of time, I have way more time in college than in high school. In high school I would go to school at 7:30am, get out at 2pm, get out of practice at 5:30, take a shower, eat some food, and it would already be about 8 o’clock. I’d do my homework for an hour or two, and only have an our or two of free time. Now I don’t start class until 1. Go to a couple hours of class, maybe go to practice, and thats only about 5 hours of my day. Spend a couple of hours doing homework or reading, and that still leaves me tons of free time to hang out and do stuff. Because I like sleep, I probably averaged 9 hours per night. One thing that is different about my situation is I’m not taking a foreign language, which I think requires early classes.</p>
