SCOTTY MCCREERY - Scotty McCreery completes his first semester at North Carolina State University this week. According to Scotty, “I’ve been studying non-stop. But it was a lot tougher than I was anticipating going into it… I’ve had to learn how to study again.” Hmm... I wonder what is harder: Learning how to study again, or trying to study knowing that because you’re already rich and famous, you don’t really need to be? Ha.
