Study in college. You can be a salutatorian of your class (like my roommate) and give no effort in high school and come to college not doing so well on certain things, complaining about courses and teachers being hard, etc. Or you can STUDY, care about your work, and yes, get A's whereas the guy who doesn't study does not and prefers to watch endless TV. No one is brilliant enough to face college without a single challenge. BE PREPARED, DO WORK, and STUDY.
