Honestly, as long as I maintain a decent college GPA I'm happy. It's not going to be the deciding factor of my future.
 
I have a huge workload this year - 3 insane ap classes, 2 honors, and then my choir. Been trying really hard to maintain a good GPA and working my butt off but so far my classes have actually made me so stressed out that I've missed a lot of school and now I'm gonna have to start seeing a therapist. Super fun stuff love school A+ :)))))))))
 
I am in college and prefer to keep my GPA each semester above 3.3 lol I messed around in high school sooo much and failed classes and now I take college very seriously and cry when I get a C in a class.
 
When I first started university, I wanted to be the top student in my class, and I was quite serious about it. The problem there was that I was severely overly ambitious about the workload I could handle and achieve in the allocated time. I ended up stressing myself out and, being in an art-related degree, I was shot down pretty quickly by other colleagues who were more experienced in that field. Needless to say, it knocked my confidence sideways quite substantially. Now I've learned to take things at my own pace and just appreciate what I'm capable of as an individual. It's a tough realisation but it's certainly helped me.

I've never had a huge ego, I just loved to give everything 110%.
 
for my major classes i aim to be the best, always put in 100% (my field is very competitive) but when it comes to the rest that i don't really care about, i tend to skip the readings and do the absolute minimal. i only get all A's because during exams that's when i put my full effort in.
 
i always aim to do the best and put extra effort where i can, i really want to graduate college with highest honors
 
Above and beyond. I try to keep all A's and B's, but obviously prefer having A's over B's. I cannot tolerate C's and especially anything lower though.
 
I'm trying to maintain my grades for scholarships and just survive the IB program. OTL
 
In high school I couldn't have cared less about school. I hardly went and only turned in enough assignments to get by in the class. Once I got into my final year I got my act together and ended up graduating early. Now that I'm in college I do all the assignments I'm given and usually spend a decent amount of time working on them. ONce you start paying for the classes you start caring a lot more.
 
I'm expected and maintain straight A's but I always procrastinate so it's really, really common for me to be rushing to get my homework for 1st period right before school starts and rushing to do all my other homework during the classes before them. Also I usually procrastinate doing essays until 1 in the morning and then again, rushing to get it done but this time half asleep while still trying to make sure it's not absolute garbage.
 
Above and beyond. I'd settle for none other than an A. My family is kinda strict about my school grades; they want me to have straight A's. It's common for me to procrastinate lol, but I still make pretty good grades.

i guess i try to do my best? i procrastinate alot, especially since 7th grade and in the end i still get these 8-10 uwu
 
i hardly go to school. i'm too laid back & not bothered. the subjects i enjoy i really work above & beyond and i get good grades for them but the ones that i'm not interested in they're not good enough. i don't care on what i get in my exams but i know i'll regret it if i do bad one day. i'm planning on going to college though and i think i'll work harder there

In university I'm trying my best but it's really hard to keep up at times considering I have a very busy schedule and little free time to do work. I want to get a scholarship so I have extra money during my year abroad then I can travel lots and basically just chill out. :') I think I stand a good chance at getting one but I need to be one of the top students in my year. My main teacher seems to be pretty impressed by me though (from what she's told other people lmfao) so fingers crossed it works out well.
 
I know I'm more than capable of getting A's, but I just lack the interest to invest myself into my studies like that. Sometimes I wish that I could just stop procrastinating and study hard, but that's just not me.
 
I feel like I only work half as hard compared to other college students around me. I skim notes (that my teacher made for the class because my note taking turns into doodling) for five minutes right before the exams while my classmate sets up study groups and flashcards. I still manage to make straight A's though.
