<p>How do you get a .5 gpa? Is that like all F's and a D or something?</p>
<p>pretty much, he's a stoner kid and he goes to all three lunches most of the time when he actually comes to school. He's actually really cool though besides being a failure</p>
<p>The stoners that I know are really really great people (apart from being a stoner haha). Like, they seem so in touch emotionally and they listen a lot and they are quite compassionate.</p>
<p>And the stuff we discuss are really really interesting. Like, about aliens and 'the other world' and dreams and everything else like gay marriage and stuff.</p>
<p>And they laugh easily. Like, when I'm around them, we always crack up about something strange.</p>
<p>i dunno. maybe it's just the stoners that i know.</p>
<p>Hmmm....my friends aren't quite like me academically (except two of them) not because they aren't smart, but because for the most part they don't work very hard (this is in my POV--they are still in the top 40 of my class of 170). Two of my best friends are pretty much opposite of me when it comes to schoolwork--I stress out all the time and they don't worry too much. </p>
<p>In middle school, I was best friends with the #1 in our class (I'm #2) and it drained me. Everything was always about grades, etc, but it actually helped me to do better. I firmly believe that if I wasn't friends with him since 6th grade I would not have the competitive drive to do well in school. Since I entered high school, I've distanced myself from him, but we are still good friends.</p>
<p>My friends now are awesome because they really help me relax and have fun. Like on Halloween, I had a lab report to do and they really wanted me to go out and watch a movie. So they come to my house dressed up and almost kidnapped me. They acted like they lost some keys and asked me to come look for them next to their van. Then one of my friends bodyslammed me into the van and shut the door, and they almost got away but I escaped. Lol it sound really violent, but it wasn't--it was fun and it helped me to loosen up and stop freaking out about homework. </p>
<p>My last friend is #3 in our class and it is nice to have a friend like her because we can sympathize with each other when we aren't too happy with our lowish grades in history, etc. If I even mention that I'm unhappy with a grade to my other friends they will freak out and tell me to shut up. Also, I studied for the SATs with her in the summer before junior year and we helped each other to do really well....she got a 2200 and I got a 2300. </p>
<p>I'm really happy with my group of friends because I have a combination of super-motivated and laid back people.</p>
<p>My school is unfortunately really cliqeuey and there's no real way to avoid it. I guess you could say I hang out with like 3 cliques, one of them is the smart kids who are like 3.6-4.2. (a 3.6 is really, really good at my school).</p>
<p>then i also hang out with a bunch fo kids that i'm just been spending time with for a really long time. they are mainly 2.8-3.2 range. which isn't really that bad here, that will get you into MSU and possibly Michigan.</p>
<p>And then there's this group I call the Ball State crowd because theyve decided that school isn't their priority. They all want to go to Ball State together. Unfortunately, one of them was just rejected.......I was thinking to myself how stupid do you have to be to get rejected from Ball State. But one of my best friends has a 1.75 right now because he failed two classes. He would have had a 2.8 or something if he wouldn't have failed English (because he was suspended for plagarism and got a 0 on the term paper) and failed AP Art STudio (because he didn't turn anything in).</p>
<p>pretty much all of my friends from school are similar to me academically. at my school you'd be hard pressed to find someone who isn't similar to me academically though lol... i go to an all girls catholic private school where the gpa of any given class probably ranges from a 3.2-4.6.. i have about a 3.7 gpa and most of my friends get better grades than i do.. my friends are really smart but even moreso they're clever, athletic, basically just well-rounded altogether</p>
<p>i have really smart, smart, and dumb friends. with the dumb and smart friends, they keep me up to date with fights and crazy parties at weekends. my smart friends are great because they keep me competitive academically.
its good to have lots and lots of friends. but only try to have a small group that you want to become really close to. easier to manage.</p>
<p>Yes, my friends are. It wasn't really on purpose, it was just more like they're the same people in all of my classes ...so... yeah.</p>
<p>haha me too....all my friends are dumb and smart....hey...as long as they're cool and loyal..that's fine with me</p>
