Not sure where you're from, but in Canada you don't need all A's to get into a
half-decent university. However, if you want to get into a top university,
you'll need good grades and more (e.g. extracurricular activities).

I'm sure any university you will get into will be just fine. During your time
at uni, you get out what you put in. Don't stress about getting into your
dream university. You'll do fine wherever as long you like what you do and you
get involved with stuff happening around you. Grades are just a means to an
end, don't focus on them too much.

University and school is very different. I was a B~C (even D & F) student in
high school because I hated what I was taught in school. I enjoy Math but
somehow was not motivated as well.

I went to the _okay_ university afterwards but things started to change.
Everything what I learn there somehow made sense and was not boring anymore.
It might be just the fact that university have better teacher but it was more
motivating. Somehow I turned my self from B~C student to a A dean list
student. I went to CMU for grad school after graduation.

The point i want to make is that university is different from school and you
can always climb up the ladder as long as you try hard at some point.

Get a job. Plain and simple, this the best way to motivate yourself to study
more.

Fact is though, you don't need to study more. You should work a lot more.
Working is the only really effective, motivating, way to take what you've
learned through your studies and apply it to the real world. Without actually
doing something for someone, a lot of what people learn in school is useless.

It isn't until you actually have a user that you become a developer.

I had a rough time getting through my Computer Science degree, despite loving
software. I still find things I hate. Currently, I've done web apps for a few
years and now I'm fucking sick of them. Time to move on to a new area of CS
that challenges me. That's pretty much how it goes.

 Not sure where you're from, but in Canada you don't need all A's to get into a 
 half - decent university. However, if you desire to make into a top university, 
 you'll need good grade and more (for example extracurricular activities). 

 I'm sure any university you will get down into will be just fine. During your clock time 
 at uni, you get out what you put in. Don't try about getting into your 
 dream university. You'll do fine wherever as long you like what you do and you 
 get involve with stuff happening around you. Grades are just a means to an 
 goal, don't focus on them too much.
