re: Pulled my first college all nighter last night.

Will try, there are just a lot of distractions nowadays. I have never been good at studying.

There were a lot then, too: drinking buddies, fishing, hunting, golf, womenrz... if you spend more time studying for 4 years, you'll get a lot more time to do those when you graduate, and a lot more $$$ with which to do them.

School came easy to me... too easy. I thought I could skip class all semester, rely on others' notes, then waltz into a class for an exam with barely studying and after staying up all night. That worked for a couple of semesters and I skated by on C's and B's. When I got into my 300 and 400 level classes, I damn near failed out, and barely got out of undergrad with a C+ average.

I had as much fun in post-grad because the guys I hung out with all treated school like a job, and after 5:00 p.m., we'd knock off, cook out, drink beer, and chase women, use our weekends to fish, hunt and golf, etc., but we'd have our asses in class or the library at 8:00 a.m. every single week day. I graduated post-grad with an A average. Unfortunately, I had to pay $100,000 for all of my post-grad, when a scholarship was easily obtainable if I would have held an A-B average in undergrad.

$100,000 buys a lot of guns, fishing tackle, golf clubs and... you get the picture.

Anyway, that's enough from this old man. and good luck!
