So since the last time i was here talking with you guys, i was hav ing my problems getting along, be it with girls/social situations, doing my schoolwork and studying. This i have gotten done, i do my work better now, i pulled my highest GPA here at school I have since i got here. I am doing great in my classes and I feel im consistently one of the smartest people in the class. But when it comes to my doing of work (which i always finish even at the last moment) i do just a decent job of it. Instead of writing an A paper and focusing on it and not letting myself get off it, i just set myself to like a B paper is fine and a B or b+ is good, but i have started to realize that i am definitely not being the A student that i should, and i am just selling myself short.
I would like suggestions and to talk about how i can start to get away from my bad habits of just thinking that I will be fine with a B and out of that mode of thinking. I find that i have a lot of anxiety when i have to go and work because i think well... i could go for an A, but CS:S or some other game is fun, and i mean, ill still get a b and thats totally acceptable and doing better than i have in the past, so why move on.
Im kinda tired right now and have a test tomorrow that, im pretty sure i will get a c+ to B+ on, most likely a B from the little amount of work i put forth. I have had many more chances to go over this and instead, have just ended up playing sports or computer games or talking with people about philosophy that soon into the discussion, becomes a form of me procrastinating.
What i really want help with (yeah, i said i was going to go a second ago, but i figured out the point of my post now) are strategies that i could do within my life to get me to habitiually do the things i need to do so I can pull good grades and understand things. I really feel like im just relying on my raw intellect instead of that and work to get by, and I dont want that.
