C is the New F

As a first semester college student finisher (can I get an amen?), I have learned a few basic things.

1. You will miss your mom a whole heck of a lot. You miss having a private spot to cry in too, now that I think about it.

2. Big universities really don't give a darn about you no matter what they say (My mom tried to tell me my Econ teacher gave me a good grade because he knew who I was and saw I came to class every day..yeah in a lecture hall of 200 kids, I don't think so)

3. When you live on the second floor of a residence hall, nobody likes you on the elevator.
(But in my defense, the stairs do go all the way up to the eighth floor too and no, I will not give you an excuse for why I'm using the elevator. I pay it for it just like you, honey boo.)

4. There will still be girls who don't like you just because of your face, voice, ears, freckle on your face...you get it. They just won't like you because you're too awesomely awesome for them.
(at Iowa State, it may or may not be a certain girl's athletic team, and they may or may not bully you in the lunch hall, and they may or may not laugh at you for no reason, but it doesn't matter. They suck anyways.)

AND

5. In college, there are three grades. Don't let anyone tell you differently. It's an A, B, or C. D and F...no. They don't count. For majors, you can't get either of those for some classes, because if you do, that class doesn't count (except for on your GPA, it counts there (; )
An A, that's an A. An A-, that's kind of like a B.
B+, that's kind of like a B. B-...eh you're border line.

And C....C is the new F.

Now, I've never gotten anything less than a B- in any of my classes ever (Algebra 2 really stung me..owwzer). But the margin for error is like ()  <------- that big. MINISCULE. It's terrifying. A C can't even be a C anymore..it suddenly is the bottom of the barrel.

Now I squeaked by with a 3.73 GPA first semester, so I'm not complaining. But, for anyone who didn't or for those of us who may not do so prosperously in the future...

C's GET DEGREES. Happy New Year (:
