I’m 18 years old and graduated high school. I plan to go to college, but I’m curious what you need to graduate cum laude because I heard someone (clearly older than me) say they graduated cum laude.

I've thought a few times, my gpa was laughably low. Another little on my gpa would have saved some stress, maybe I'd not have stress related back problems (this is a lie I tell myself, these problems would definitely still be there). But all in all, the last time I had to think hard about my gpa was during the interview for the first job I landed.

As the joke goes, what do you call the person who finishes at the bottom of their class in med school? Doctor.
