Will read this thread after I'm done watching white collar and it would be too late to study which I need to do for tomorrow's quiz.

Been pounding this semester out in the textbooks after dun goofin' bad and getting a 2.7 last semester (first semester, Freshman). Also pledged a fraternity that I ended up dropping, pledging another one again this semester but grades will be > all.

Nice. I got an exam next week and this is the only thing that has helped me study:
Your first thought as you look at this article will be, Ill read this later.
But dont. Let the urge to switch to a new task pass. Read this now.
Itll take you two minutes. Itll save you countless hours.
Ive written the book on ending procrastination, but Ive since come up with a very simple technique for beating everyones favorite nemesis. It is incredibly easy, but as with anything, it takes a little practice.
Try it now:
Identify the most important thing you have to do today.
Decide to do just the first little part of it just the first minute, or even 30 seconds of it. Getting started is the only thing in the world that matters.
Clear away distractions. Turn everything off. Close all programs. There should just be you, and your task.
Sit there, and focus on getting started. Not doing the whole task, just starting.
Pay attention to your mind, as it starts to have urges to switch to another task. You will have urges to check email or Facebook or Twitter or your favorite website. You will want to play a game or make a call or do another task. Notice these urges.
But dont move. Notice the urges, but sit still, and let them pass. Urges build up in intensity, then pass, like a wave. Let each one pass.
Notice also your mind trying to justify not doing the task. Also let these self-rationalizing thoughts pass.
Now just take one small action to get started. As tiny a step as possible.
Get started, and the rest will flow.

While I agree experience and skills are way more valuable than solely a high GPA.
Do not slack off and accept being average with the rest of the class.
A good GPA is a hoop you need to jump through to show you're capable of putting yourself into something.
So in order for the opportunity to show someone your skills, you might need a stepping stone (GPA) to get there.Post a pic of the most fuking gym you can find!!
