I've just gotten to the point in my college career where getting an A is not worth it. I'm not into being the perfect student. I just want to learn what I need to and balance the rest of my life with that. I'm an engineering student and in many cases, I give a good effort, but end up with a C anyway. I've heard of many people who have taken engineering who have failed classes and had to retake them, graduating with what most people would consider a terrible GPA. But they went on to be extremely successful.
Sometimes it's practically impossible to figure out what I need to in order to learn what I need to. So much information goes zipping through my head in a quarter that I can't possibly remember it all. I talk with A students who are peers of mine, and they can't remember most of it either. It's so intangible that it's hard to remember. I guess my point is, chill out. Don't kill yourself to get that A+, because in the end, will it really matter?
