Sounds like me when I was in college. I pretty much halfassed my way through the first year, got 3.5s and stuff, and then all of a sudden had to *study* to keep up my grades. Well, I wasn't going to do that, I had a social life. Started drinking more, dating strange girls, tanking my GPA. Wasn't until I really took a second to realize I was destroying what could be my entire life within a span of about 6 months that I realized I had to do something. Used all my contacts available to write letters to my Dean, my old job bosses and even my parents, explaining to them all how I was going to pull my grades back up while working part time. Took a year of busting my ass, but I figured it out. Maybe your sister just hasn't had that light go off in her head yet. Though from the sounds of it, that light, if it comes on, might be a little too late.
