In Class Free Write

The semester is winding down and all of my professors are trying to cram in as much information, quizzes, tests and projects as they possibly can. I really wonder why sometimes teachers can realize that they all do this so it is inevitable that a class or two will go by the way side in order to achieve a better grade in another class. This entire process is frustrating. As the semester ends and the summer begins my life will still be consumed with school and work like always. I know that everyone who graduates college says that you will want to be back in school once you are out, but I cant help but wonder if life would be nicer without that looming test that you need to get an A on to pass the class. Maybe it is just me and I take grades and classes too seriously, but looming tests can be a constant source of anxiety. As the seniors go on to graduate they all decided to give us younger girls some words of advice. I found their advice very limiting and it consisted mainly of them telling us to not worry so much about grades because in the end they dont really matter. I wonder if they all had good or even decent grades and that is why it did not matter. Once they said this I was like wait you think grades do not matter? Seems to me that all my life grades have mattered and those with better grades seem to achieve more. It is a nice notion to think that in the real world life is not based on grades but on personal achievment and effort which can only be determined by personal and professional climbing and achievement. I still feel I am too young to be so worried about such things, but it was on my mind when this free write started.
