My Plans to Ensue My Academic Success

The first semester of my college career was not nearly as successful as I originally anticipated.  I made two C's, two B's and one A.  To most people, this range of grades would seem to be normal but to me, they are not up to par.  Throughout my high school career, and I had only made two C's in any of my classes: one was from spanish in 9th grade, and the other was from statistics in 12th grade. I contribute both of those grades to a lack of motivation and concentration and not because I was unable to comprehend the material.  In college, however, my reasons for obtaining those two C's were much different. Now I receive C's at the end of the term, not because I do not apply myself, but because the courses in which I am enrolled are hard as hell.

Anyone with my level of academic motivation would find this revelation largely discouraging.  In order to keep this anomaly from ever happening again, I have decided to take the following measures: deactivate my Facebook account, spend at least three hours in the library Monday through Thursday, and get to bed by at least 1:00 AM every night.  I feel that these steps will contribute greatly to helping me gain a fresh start so that I can pull up my GPR and make the most of myself during my time at Clemson University.
