Brag about yourself!: I graduated magna cum laude and as a National Hispanic Scholar which I’m really proud of because my grades dropped significantly sophomore and junior year due to my depression and the death of a close family friend and I ended up failing three classes over those two years, but in the fall I was announced as a National Hispanic Scholar (which is based off the PSAT and your gpa, but I passed the requirements because I think they go by your weighted gpa), and I kept my grades up in the fall and I ended up raising my cumulative gpa half a point and getting magna.
I happen to think Justine is a really fuckin' cool badass! Go tell her nice things. What do you have in common? Chat her up ;)
