This is very true. It's much easier to bring a GPA down than up! We go on the quarter system here. My first 2 quarters, 3.1, 3rd quarter, 2.7, then a 2.35, 2.19, 2.35, and most recently a 2.87 (hopefully this is an upward swing!) At the end of my soph year, i had like a 3.65. The last GPA only brought it up to a 3.68. However, the first 2.35 brought it down from a 3.0 to something like a 2.8. Hopefully, by the middle of next year, I can be back up to a 3.0!
