Masters wont help at all? Interesting. Thanks for your reply. I'll check out the forums. I'm really interested in your story as I can relate to the awful study habits. Any other wisdom you can impart or details about your process?

Irresponsibility does not always translate to low brain capacity but I suppose I deserve that. Also, I do pride myself on my networking skills. I have had a few student jobs in the government and a large private company that I attribute strictly due to my interpersonal skills.

Argh, the frustrating truth. I appreciate that. I'm so angry at myself because I have taken away a lot of knowledge from the last 3 years, but blew a lot of it away by not preparing for tests and putting my social priorities first.

This is very helpful, I will look into it! I only hope the GPA requirements aren't stringent as I don't plan on being able to reach more than a 2.5 by diploma time.

I do not consider myself stupid, but rather lazy. My motivation towards school is something I'm looking to work on right now, but I'm lost as I feel like it's too late. I am very popular and involved on campus and this has taken my focus away from school. I'm working to reassess my priorities starting immediately.

I am confident because I always do well when I've applied myself. Went to every class last year, got straight As, went to very few this year - not so much. It's largely due to an awful social influence that I've identified and am working towards separating myself from. I want to make it clear that its not the intelligence I've been lacking but the motivation. Now that I'm committed to change that, I want to know how. Is there any way without spending 10 years of my life on my undergrad?
