I struggled with my gen eds. I think because I thought they were easier and I thought I wouldnt have to try as hard and show up. My first year I think I had a 2.1 GPA, or something similar. Once I declared my major and started taking coursed that I was interested in I never received lower then a B. I mean, I was required to take Anthropology....lame. Why would I want to go to a class that I dont want to be in, at 8 in the morning, for 2 hours? My grade reflected me not going. I would also say I was never a 'book worm' either. I had my fun and was able to live the college life. I ended with a 3.1 and my degree in education. Overall though, ALOT of my friends dont try and get fine grades. Maybe its because its Stout, but who knows. Im not saying they are smarter, I am agreeing with most that they have a degree, but did they really deserve it? Maybe.
