B+

We all know them; they don’t sit in the front of the classroom. Running late to class with coffee stains muddy muck-boots, hair strategically placed under a hat with hay stuck in their sweatshirt hood. Mentally planning which class is more feasibly skipped so that they can actually do something productive with their lives outside of academia. There are a lot of things going on behind the scenes that their classmates might not always be aware of. College is simply not their one and only priority.  And yet, they continue on, they appear time after time, semester after semester; and maybe a few extra semesters thrown in there.

These are the B+ students; including me.

Now before you jump to conclusions I AM NOT saying you need to slack off and aim for less than excellent, I am simply saying that life is a culmination of interests and is made up of more parts than a perfect GPA. 

Having an outside passion is what supports your mental stability.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people (especially professors say) "when you're in the real world"....  Pretty sure we live in reality. Just because everyones reality is different, doesn't mean that anyones is less than anyone else. 

Balance is what its all about and what makes for successful PEOPLE not just students.
