Now that I'm safely out in the real world for a few years and doing ok for myself, I can look back fondly at my first semester in college and ROFLMAO. Who am I kidding? I even laughed at it THEN! My GPA that first semester came very, very close to rivaling Bluto's from Animal House, which was fitting because he studied about as much as I did (except I managed a 0.6 since I actually showed up to one of my afternoon classes occasionally). But those 4.5 months were some of the best of my life and I wouldn't change a thing, especially since I still managed to recover and pull out a strong GPA by the time I graduated. Plus, I did very well on my grad school exams so I didn't have a problem getting into grad school. I still thank my parents for being patient with me because they knew I was capable of more than what I did that first year. Congrats to those of you who studied hard (or even didn't study hard) and were rewarded with good grades.
