Does anyone here regret trying to be "cool"?

<p>I don’t know about you all, but in my social circles, having bad grades isn’t “cool.” I know this doesn’t help OP right now, but for others, I’ll say that it’s definitely possible to have a great social life and maintain decent grades. If your friends think it’s okay to completely blow off schoolwork to the point of getting Ds and Fs, maybe they’re not the right people to be hanging out with.</p>
