Grades slipping after securing internship for this summer

Have a 3.9 cumulative and prob gna get like a 3.0 this sem since ive been just maximizing my experiences as a 2nd semester junior this semester (partying a ton, hooking up with a bunch of girls, went to europe for spring break and partied, smoking a bunch of weed after working out and building more friendships at school). Not sure if anyone has been in the same boat but just wanted y'all 2 cents on how i should go about finishing this rest of this sem as the social scene at my school is about to pop this april. (anxious about maintaining school grades while living it up and making memories). 


thanks

Doesn’t matter in terms of your offer, but matters for PE recruiting. Don’t let your grades slip too much.
