I used to give myself excuses, telling myself that regardless of my grades I was confident in my brains and intuition, that grades meant nothing.

But after more thought, I think there is merit in that grades show how much work and effort you put in.

To be honest, I don’t remember a time when I actually put in more effort into studying and doing all the annoying, dirty bitch work than into complaining and procrastinating.

No more.

I can get good grades, and it’s for the merit of knowledge and to prove to myself that I can discipline myself. Self-control takes practice, and I will control myself.

Bad habits? That’s just an excuse.

No more excuses.
