They must have all had the same posters on their walls when they were kids:

 

"The more I study, the more I know,

the more I know, the more I forget,

the more I forget, the less I know,

 

...so why study?"

Certsinly my college career was defined by my realizing that I was much more interested in getting educated than I was in my academics.

 

After an academically challenging first semester (where I got the first and ony D I had ever gotten) I buckled down and got an A- average in my second semester.

 

However, having proven to myself that I could do the academic work, I then treated my academics as a means to get the education I wanted and needed rather than an end in and of itself.

 

This was a great move for me and I am pleased as all get out that I got the education I needed without being too hindered by college academics. I do regret not getting as much out of the academics offered as I could, but hindsight is 20/20 and it would not have been worth sacrificing my true education received in college if i had instead focused on academic work.
