I can't agree with you more regarding self-discipline. My senior year in high school was the biggest joke: no one had to attend class, complete work, follow school rules, etc... but everyone got at least a C because teachers who cared about their students got their feelings twisted and wanted to make sure everyone graduated and the administration wanted more funding for higher graduation rates. Result: I completely slacked off and drank with my friends too much and lost all self discipline for my first year in college. I took all random classes, not even working to tick off GURs, and now I have to pick up my own pieces now that I have pulled my head together and figured out what I actually want to do with my life.
