I graduated from college with honors. The trick is to know your strengths and weaknesses. I'm good at getting ideas when I'm stoned and I wrote most of my papers blazed. I would then correct the errors while straight. However, for math(weak area for me), I would wait and "reward" myself with a joint after the assignment was done. Start on assignments the day they are given. The kids in class thought I was kind of crazy when I started my term papers a couple of weeks into class. But when finals and term papers finally came around, they were going crazy, while I had my paper done and could concentrate on the finals. NEVER put off an assignment because you have X weeks to finish it! Get them done early! Then you have the luxury of putting the report down for a week and looking at it with fresh eyes (you catch a lot of mistakes that way). Hang in there, you can make it through this!
