I don't drink either unless it's absolutely necessary for me to stay a forthnight. It never gets old that usual all nighter

Well, I am here to share my own story. I am a first-gen college grad; did a lot of things and exposed myself to diverse subjects both in High School and College. I was an academic slacker though so I got a 2.8 UGPA from the University of Texas at Dallas. I have strong grades in some areas, decent grade in others, and only one D+ in my academic career (which I retook and got a C+ on it) so in theory I have not had one single D academically that I have not made up for but still I have a 2.8 because of my Cs. Although I do not have any relevant experience in any fields I have learned a lot from just reading about other fields, in particular Theology which is one of the two programs I am applying to (the other one is History, which would be a continuation of my major - Historical Studies). The reason I do not have work experience is because I unwittingly assumed I was a Permanent Resident, thus thinking that this would bar me from several jobs to apply (I never did proper research into my status - which turned out to be a Citizen - or into which kind of jobs I could apply to, it was stupid of me as an undergrad but such is life). Right now I am studying for my GRE and I am freaking out. I would like to know what is a decent grade given my GPA and academic transcript? Also, there is the fact I do have interesting ideas and am a very good communicator. I also commend those of you who have gotten into Grad Schools even though the grades and GRE were sub par.
