Oliveplume again.
Truth be told, I do horrible in school. I did so bad in high school they placed me in special ed senior year so I could pass. My first time going to community college I dropped out before I failed. I'm just very apathetic about schoolwork. Even this past semester where I got those grades, I didn't study one night. I did bring myself to do the assignments though.
School just bores the shit out of me, that's why I do bad. What got me motivated about putting a decent effort in was living on my own for the year after I graduated from high-school. I realized that making $9.00 an hour is a miserable life. I had to work my ass off just so I could afford rent and food. Buying new clothes was a big deal for me and I realized the importance of a higher education. Plus, the people you will work with at a job only requiring a high school education are depressing.
School may be tedious, but living in a shit hole for the rest of your life is much more so. Just tough out the 4 years.
