Please, do us a favor and grow up.

A little birdie by the name of JP has told me that this year is the worst one for dropouts and failure in the first year Multimedia Program in years.

Alas, all I hear from many students is "My marks suck, but they aren't my fault"

...

Then just who's fault is it?

I also just love the kids who say that I have good marks because I've been to university and know everything already. Geez, then I guess that all of those sleepless nights were done for my health, right?

I want to view my fellow students as my equals, but this is really pushing it. GROW UP for heaven's sake. This isn't high school. You are paying for this education.

I do stay past class and help people with assignments. I've been up to all hours with people on MSN trying to fix Visual Basic programs. It's not like I hate you, but please take some things into your own hands. I've been there before and have made very stupid choices. I don't want other people to end up like me. Dropping out of university wasn't fun. You need to step back and look at what you are doing. Why are your marks suffering? How can you change it? Is this REALLY the right program for you?

As for me, I've got dry mounting to do.
