I'm trying so hard to get straight A's and it is so hard!! Like as of right now In my first semester of college I have 2 B's and 3 A's but it's not enough.
Just last week in my Organic Chem class, I failed my first quiz with a D+, but ever since then I have been studying so much in that class and it did pay off for me because I got a whooping 100% on my second quiz (Which put me at a B). But it's still not enough. I'm really good at English but I got a B- on my first paper and I just don't see myself getting good grades this semester. I also have an essay due weekly and I keep getting 90/100 on all of them, an then in my Anthropology class I can't seem to get a 100% on all of writing assignments either...
But I admit I spend hours a day on Netflix and it may be compromising my grades but if I don't have Netflix in my life it would just be all about school and nothing else. I mean if I can't have a social life then at least I have Netflix.

I have no idea. My professors said we need Gen Chem 1 to take her class but it's not enforced by the registrar to make gen chem a pre-req and that was how I was able to take it. Also I talked my advisor into letting me take it and he couldn't really do anything about it if I could take it or not because their was no official pre-req...

So how did you all get good grades and keep them?
I read some of your earlier posts. Something does not add up, I wonder if maybe one of those deer got you........
An introvert can be a good nurse. Yes, it may take longer to get comfortable doing assessments so practice practice practice. I am an introvert. We can be "on' when we need to be and when we don't, we like to do things by ourselves to refresh and regenerate ourselves.

I'm concerned about the pressure you're putting on yourself to get all A's. This is not necessary! In fact, it can go against you sometimes. I had all A's and was asked in a couple of interviews to tell them what I did to be a person who didn't JUST study.
I get the personal achievement thing, but pushing yourself too much can damage you in other ways.
Taking organic chemistry before 2 semesters of general chemistry is not a smart move at all. How do you expect to have a foundational knowledge of chemistry by skipping the very basics of it and jumping into organic chemistry? It makes absolutely no sense to me that the registrar at your school even allowed this.
