There is so much wasted time
There is so much wasted time in undergrad..in life in general. If you don't waste time, then getting that 3.9 GPA and getting wasted 3-4 times a week can easily become a reality.

1- Your GPA matters a lot.
2- Your GPA matters more if you are not a Math/Engineering/CS major
3- Your GPA matters more if you don't go to a target
4- Create something while in College, extra-curricular, you name, at the end your leadership skills will grow so much
