You can do it! I graduated in the top 10% of my university class, and I also have a Master’s Degree. Here is the secret:
STUDY!
Step 1. Schedule
You need to write down a realistic study schedule and stick to it. For example, I scheduled myself for study time from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays with an hour break for dinner. That way I could still go out on Friday and Saturday nights and have some sort of social life. That’s 18 hours of studying. I also scheduled myself for a few hours each day on Monday through Friday. If you work full-time, you could schedule less hours but still at least get C’s.
Step 2. Go to the Library
You have to study in the library. (Leave your cell phone at home or at least ignore it when it rings). If you study at home, you’ll be distracted by the fridge, your telephone, your roommate/spouse/family and so forth. Don’t worry about messing up your love life ‘cause mystery and having goals is good for the relationship anyway.
