The college struggle

I'm in college and boy is it kicking my a$$. I had a 4.3 GPA in High school and now itsss....... well let's just say I just managed work hard enough to get myself out of academic probation.

Despite my low GPA I still have hope I can get it up,since I'm still a freshman,however it's hasn't been easy and it's not going any easier.

My goal is to manage straight A's until next spring to get my GPA back to the 3.0 area. If I can do this I can take a break over the summer. I know it seems extreme but I have hope and the motivation.
