College goals(2b)

This week, I set a goal to put my school work before anything else. All though the week was incredibly boring, I can say that I accomplished that goal. In high school I rarely put my school work before anything. I would hang out with friends, or watch TV, or even sit around and do nothing before I did my work. But I still passed every class with mediocre grades. But I know that college is much different. I know that is I put TV or hanging out with friends before my school work, I’ll probably come close to failing. The difference between high school and college, beside the amount of work, is the responsibility that comes with being a college student. As college students, we have to put certain priorities before others. And for me school is now my main priority. So far, I have turned down friends, my softball team, and even my job just so I could get my work done. And I have to say, it is a very boring lifestyle, but a necessary one. I’m looking at college as a new start and a new chapter in my life. I want to start out on the right foot and allow nothing to interfere with my chosen path. I’ve learned that you can’t substitute anything for hard work. My first couple of grades in college are better than any grades I got in all of high school. The reason I had low grades in high school was because I put other things before my school work. The only thing I plan on putting in front of my school work is my family. Besides that, nothing will interfere with it. I figure, I’m paying ten thousand dollars a year for it so I might as well make the most of it while I can.
