go for the grades

1. the desire to get the best possible grades by choosing classes that are very easy for you

2. the desire to get a good education by spending a lot of time to obtain a very deep knowledge of subject being studied

for #1
We have advised my younger daughter to select her high school courses based on the highest level for which she can easily receive an A or B. I always believed that challenging yourself meant taking any class in which you were interested and giving it your best shot. However, there is no reward if you try and fail. So sadly, I want my younger daughter to "go for the grades" rather than challenging herself and stretching to learn more. It seems that the higher GPA will open doors to more colleges and also to more merit-based aid to be able to afford the colleges.

for #2
(from S. Covey book) the P/PC balance balances going for the grade and paying the price to get an education

go co-ed

Like go postal, but the shooter is goin' to college. The academic, pressures, cliques, Greek life, and latent homosexuality of so many college activities drives a minority of undergraduates into the going co-ed zone. Especially where state gun laws are less restrictive and where psychological evaluations matter less, they can pack heat and now down fellow co-eds, profs if they're really pissed. See Virginia Tech.

Horrified co-ed 1: Omg! It's like he's gonna go co-ed. He looks like a total freakazoid nerdster and totz ready to shoot
Horrified co-ed 2: and he's hot for the BMOC - never gonna get a piece of that either
Horrified co-ed 3: and he's been collecting semi-automatics! Shite.

Horrified co-ed 1: so are we gonna go to intro Econ class he's in tomorrow?
Horrified co-ed 2: yeah.

Horrified co-ed 3: sure why not.
