I'm a freshman in college this year. The first time I went back to my old team was this winter break, aka, when I had no classes and grades to mess up. When second semester starts next week, back to college I go and no more FIRST for me until spring break, where again I can't mess up my grades and classes when going to the VCU Regional. The only contact I'll have in between then is simply following the team's progress via our online forums. Hard to force myself to disregard grades over replying to a topic that'll still be there the day after.
It's just a matter of putting class before everything else.(Something I didn't do senior year of high school too well, learned my lesson there
)
