Hey, if you are getting straight A's, then much love. I have respect for that. All I can say is keep it up. I can remember that when I was in high school, when I was a Freshman and Sophmore, I also got very good grades, nothing buy A's and B's, but then when I was a Junior, I got caught up in the game of "trying to be popular" and "trying to be down with the "in" click". So I started going to parties, drinking alcohol, skipping class, smoking weed, etc, etc, etc. Well, I did graduate from High School, but my Junior and Senior year I got terrible grades and I didn't end up getting good enough grades to go to a major University.
So the moral of the story is, keep getting the straight A's man. I'm serious. Keep with it. All the way through graduation. Get your ass in a kick ass 4 year real deal university, and get yourself a degree.
Forget the partying, and the girls and the "in" crowd and all that crap, and get good grades and get yourself into a decent University.
