>Although doing very little to no studying and getting good grades in high school was possible, it's a lot harder to make it work in college. The coursework is more challenging and the topics go into a lot more depth, so winging it will be a challenge and frankly, isn't worth it.

Even if you find yourself in a course where good grades are easy, you'll still get more out of the course by putting forth effort. Professors have lots of their own reasons for not making grading very stringent, but you needn't let it stop you from caring about a subject.
