After getting

my PSAT scores, I've started to think more and more about college. I scored a 174/240, which is okay I guess. But I started wondering to myself, if I'm having trouble with the classes I'm taking now, how would I ever survive at college? I've always dreamed of going out-of-state to a really nice university when I got older, but now that I think about it, I know that it's really quite far-fetched. There's a reason why those universities are so prestigious, it's because only the nation's BEST goes there. I doubt that I would qualify for that. Ever since high school, I've come to realize that I'm not actually all that smart & that I do slack off or bs my homework assignments some times. It's disappointing, but that's just reality. I'm definitely not going to stop working hard in school, but I guess this is just something I should keep in mind from now on. I shouldn't get my hopes up.
