I worry for you my friend....I worry.
Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
I too am surprised so many of you are picking the 4.0. Honestly, grades are nothing but letters on a piece of paper. College is a time to learn what you want to and do what you want to, because you'll never have that freedom again.
Work never ends, but eventually college does.

Right! The only field where a GPA matters is if you are going into the academic field. And even then, no one cares what your GPA was as an undergrad once you get an advanced degree (Masters or PhD) even if the GPA for that is a bit lower.Thing is, a lot of people are wise to the fact that graduating at the top or bottom of your class means nothing 10 years down the road.

If I had it to do over again, I'd get the 4.0 GPA. You can get into a prestigious grad school and get paid way too much for doing the same amount of work as everyone else. Or you can stay in academia and have a cushy professorial job.
The reality is that people at the top work less than people at the bottom. If you don't believe me, try construction for a while.

Don't listen to the slacker and the haters that all want you to be losers like them. Get the fookin' 4.0!

True, it means nothing 10 years down the road, but it means something when you are fresh out of university/college. And if you finish in the top percentile, you will probably land a good job right after, or even while attending, uni/college.

I think the foregoing says it all.

3.5 GPA. I cannot make myself a slave to perfection. I have to balance my life and have time for everything and everyone that is important to me, and not just school.
man...my gpa has been dropping, with every passing semester. in freshman i had a 3.4 gpa. now it's a frickin 3.1 after my sophmore year.
Maybe i dont care anymore...or just the fact that the laid back professors in my college dont care which is contagious...
but in the end gpa doesnt matter, it's all about work experience and your resume.
my bro graduated from a private, double majored in mechanical engineering and business management with a 3.0 GPA.
He now has a job as an engineer at kraft foods.
