"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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'm terrified I won't make it.

I'm a senior and my gpa is currently 1.78.. At this point i'm very dissapointed in myself to the point where I pratically hate myself for fooling around in high school and not taking it as seriously as I should have. It's currently the 1st marking period of the 2nd Semester, do you think if i'm able to pull of straight A's till my last two report cards come out, will I be able to obtain a 2.0?

I couldnt do the math to check if you could get a 2.0. However, using logic, it should result in something like 2.24 if you get straight A's for the whole of senior year. In this case you must probably take a gap year before college apps, so they can see your improvement over the whole year (which you can also use in your essay, promoting yourself as newly self-motivated and able to change and take control of your life).

Are you able? I'm not the one to answer this question. You're the one to respond to this question by action, and you better ****ing read and DO like there's no tomorrow. A complete change of habit.

EDIT: you're in the 2nd semester, thus, if you've gotten A's so far in this semester, a 2.07ish should be possible. If not, then expect a 1.95-2.0. Go make it happen. If you do this, then the GPA isn't sh1t anyway; it's gonna be the noticable change you've made, thus highly increasing your opportunities.
