graduate from college with honors

I’m entering my dream college in a few weeks -taking my dream course, and I really want to do as well as all my teachers said I could. All throughout gradeschool and highschool, I sort of slacked off but got pretty good grades anyway. My teachers kept telling my parents I could have gotten honors if I actually focused more -but I got too wrapped up in friend related drama, boy related drama, and focused on my extracurriculars like sports and pep squad too much. But I always regretted it at graduation because I longed to go up on stage to get a medal, too. BECAUSE I KNEW I COULD HAVE. No more regrets this time!
