Information Technology, specifically software/web development is one of those exceptions. Most employers are going to be impressed enough if you've built a serious application on your own despite a lack luster academical performance. No matter what your transcript says, when you walk across that...
I wouldn't be so hard on yourself man. What happens if it doesn't work out? Are you going to not live that down?
Again, grades are not going to make or break you after graduation. However what will determine your success is the value you deliver through the products you build. Focus on...

I think you pretty much answered your own question.
Although, most devs fall into the trap of "Get it done, or I don't sleep" which is the biggest time waster. I get it that it comes from a good place which is a good work ethic and genuine interest in the problem they are solving. But you'll...
