Do mellow/laid-back people get high grades?

crimicher asked:


I mean, how would a chill person do good in school when they don’t really care about grades and stuff?

I’ve been relaxed and calm lately, and the grades are going downhill lol.. i love the mood i’m in! it’s like a natural high lol. i don’t want to stress over stupid grades that do NOT define how smart a person is. Come on, really. Grades are nothing. It depends on how good you are at memorizing information, getting the smart genes, and showing your teachers how much you care by participating in class and all that jazz.

All that matters is happiness, right?
Why should I stress over assignments I have no interest in? I learn way more on Y!A than at school anyway.
I have A’s, B’s, C’s, and a D. first semester, it was A’s and B’s. see the difference? lol.

But I was miserable. I feel great now, and I don’t care about going to the top schools. Everyone has their own ways of learning. I would love to go to a school that teaches outdoors! oh man how fun! hike up some trails and learn during breaks or something. White river rafting [is that what it's called?] the fun stuff.

Oh man I’m getting really off track.
So are there any mellow people out there that have awesome grades? How do you do it?
