What is the best way to write about this?

My one C was in organic chemistry II during my senior year. However I have a declining trend in my grades from a 3.8 Freshman year to a 3.2 Senior year.

The actual reason for this decline reflects really poorly on me. I simply played too many video games. I don't think I attended any classes senior year other than for tests. My work load was not even that much and yet I still did poorly.

It's been 2 years since I've graduated now and I think I am much more mature and better at time management and prioritizing. I am currently working full time 50 hours a week at a hospital while volunteering ~5 hours a week while taking a class that is about ~10-15 hours a week and filling out secondaries at the same time. I was immature then and I think working in the real world has changed me.

How do I phrase my secondary to not reflect poorly on me? It just looks so bad.
