Im taking 16 hours my first semester freshman year in college and im doing... ok, usually C+s or C's. However, im technically failing my biology lab with a 66, mainly because i generally have no idea what were doing in the class, despite the fact that i (try) to pay attention, i just cant get it, and its really frusterating that im trying so hard too. This is kinda the same thing with my other classes, like art, studying for me, doesnt = good grades. And im really good about going to class and taking notes, ive never missed a class yet! I guess my question is what is the most effective way to pass any given college course? Like, study habit wise, etc.

It has to be one sentence, and cannot always be combined with 'and'. Thank you in advance.

Hello, I have been recently wanting to attend the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music at New School University in New York City. My only problem is that my GPA is really low. I am in my second quarter of my junior year and have a 2.2 GPA. This is due to me having a rough past. I am in the process of recovering from depression, extreme loneliness, and thoughts of suicide. I am actually a very intelligent person with a high iq and several of my teachers consider me to be a genius. I am still trying to recover from my past and pick myself up. I am trying to enter the college through guitar and am extremely talented. I joined jazz band for guitar and have an A in the class, as well as 2 other music classes, band and piano.It is not easy for me to get back on my feet after all I have dealt with. I have read the minimum gpa to get into the school is a 2.0 so if I got my grades up, do I have a fairly good chance at getting into the school? Going to music school in NYC is my dream.

To all the smokers out there! There is a commercial on tv with the young looking lady (30's) saying you can quit if you have the motivation for living, suffering from cancer herself who has now passed away in January from lung cancer caused by smoking...
Does watching that commercial make you very sad and think twice next time you feel like a cigarette? Did the commercial make an impact on you? How did watching the commercial make you feel?
I'm a smoker myself and it actually did make me think twice & have cut down ever since it's been repeated over & over on tv.
Would like to know your opinion?
