True, you are only young once, but now's the time to figure out what your priorities are. I remember my freshman year--Fall 97 GPA was 3.75, Spring 98 was a 1.07...and that was because I didn't get my priorities straight.

I'm not saying you should cut down on going out with the gang. I agree, 8am classes are difficult to wake up to. But later on in college as you progress the classes you really need to take may only be offered at 8am!

You are in college to receive an education. And with this new found freedom also comes responsibility and time management. I didn't think that I could handle being in a sorority, either, but my sorority puts a LOT of emphasis on time management and organization. There's always going to be times to go out and have fun, and don't feel like you're missing out on anything during the week. Judging from your name I'm going to assume that you're a freshman. Freshman year is THE year to establish yourself in the classroom. A lot of people don't think so, but a great first year usually helps in the long run.

I hope this helps..and good luck!
