Grades

Ok, so with exams coming up and all, inevitably the issue of grades have come up. Right, so are grades important? I guess the obvious answer is yes. Who doesn't want good grades? Who doesn't want to try hard and do well and be happy. So what happens if you try but somehow just dont quite make it? What then? It's not a lousy score, you're not dumb, but its... just... not quite there. Someone, fix me. And what exactly are you willing to give up for grades? even friends? family?

'if you try your best but you don't succeed,
when you get what you want but not what you need.
when you feel so tired but you cant sleep
stuck in reverse.'

lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you.

-coldplay, fix you.
