I agree...

I mean, the smartest people I've ever met didn't get the BEST grades in school...the people most dedicated and focused on SCHOOLWORK are the ones who got the highest grades.

If I worked my ass off on schoolwork, I'd probably raise my average 5-7%. But I'd have a LOT less free time, I'd probably be miserable, would have to cut down on my hobbies like gaming/sporting/socializing/TV/movies. Not even CLOSE to being worth it.

85% average (when I know I can raise it a bit) is more than fine with me when I'm having fun.
