How does one achieve a 3.9+ overall GPA?

<p>Last time I picked and chose what readings to do and not do, I got a C on the midterm paper. I’ll be doing all the readings from now on. :cries:</p>

<p>At this rate, my cumulative freshman year is gonna be like a 2.9. But for some reason I decided that it was a good idea to take 3 hard classes in a semester…I just wanna get through with like a 3.6 and then really kick butt next semester. :(</p>

<p>It’s really not fair. I’m working my ass off and still getting crappy grades. :(</p>
