I make time to study. I've actually put a lot of effort into studying this semester, because Lindenwood doesn't look at my grades at other schools, so as far as they are concerned I have a 4.0 and I would like to graduate with that. I also don't have a life right now, but that's a different story
LU is also not as difficult of a school as my previous schools, and yeah, I was a pretty bright little kid
