<p>Harsh? Harsh how? You got into Harvard, unless you got in with Cs on your transcript (in which case they’ve accepted that you’re a C student) you shouldn’t be getting Cs in your last semester in High School. There is no ‘right’ to slack off to the extent that grades that were once As drop to Cs. If you can’t learn how to slack off while keeping your grades in the B range in High School (emphasis on High School) then how in the world are you going to balance even more time demands with decent grades at Harvard.</p>
