I've had many friends in high school who were as equally qualified to get into the school I currently go to. And I see them now, coasting through other schools, because they were cheaper.
Here I am, bitter because I've spent the last two years being a tiny fish in a big pond and I can't help but wonder why people choose schools where it is harder to do well in/more expensive? This is really affecting my mood and therefore grades.
The summer before entering school, I took 3 classes (community college and state school) while working 30+ hours at Target. The credits didn't transfer, I just did this to help my friend who has severe learning issues and thought I might as well enroll too (she got Cs without doing anything, I get Cs with struggling so much). I miss not having to struggle so much. The classes weren't that much easier (though Gen Chem at a cc is a complete joke), but getting an A was extremely easy and the teaching style was nicer too (smaller classes, caring professor).
