After finishing grade 12 in 2011 (Which is the final year of High-school), and going straight into University, I started disliking it more and more. I ended up skipping about 70% of lectures, and did close to no study at all. My work ethic was atrocious (I didn't really like the subjects I was doing, either.. which didn't help at all). In hindsight, I really wish I put the effort in, or I took a gap year, because I have to repeat half of my first year subjects.
Learn from my mistakes, don't be lazy, and don't skip lectures (unless you can do the lecture in your own time- then its sorta permissible-ish).
Not from America, either.
