This semester I was in school full-time and working on my startup part-time with co-founders. That was a huge mistake. As much as it was fun, the only time where I got major progress done was during vacations, when I should've been focusing on the assignments thrust upon me by my studies. Since I was focusing more on my startup, rather than my classes, my grades ended up not being as good as they could have been.

Luckily, for the next 8 months I get to focus 100% on my startup; I won't have to choose between a mediocre grade and a mediocre product. I'll have the energy and resources to create a great product.
