I just meant that talking with teachers, who know about life in their fields outside of academia (hopefully), could help you get more motivation by painting a nice picture of what you could be doing once you're graduated.

I swear I used to be really clever as a kid and I've just become more stupid throughout the years. I pretty much always did some amount of studying for a test because I told my parents when I had a test coming up so they would check to see that I was preparing for the test. They often ask if any tests are coming up and I generally don't lie to my parents so . . .

in high school, i regret not studying for an exam properly. i used to study a day or two before an important test, resulting in a failing grade, and rendering my chances being accepted to a decent major, or at least a major i want, close to impossible. now, after a year in college, my grades significantly bettered and i'm hoping to transfer to chemical engineering. chemistry was one of the few subjects i excelled in really.

Flowerchild January 21st, 2012 3:10 PM

I used to not even care about studying and I failed a lot. I realized that I was ruining my future and started studying harder once I got to high school.

AshPikastar January 21st, 2012 3:16 PM

I'm not good with studying neither am I good with taken tests. I get really bored when it comes to studying. I do better with homework instead of taken tests.

Palamon January 21st, 2012 3:33 PM

Studying... I don't study. Period. If I study I fail whatever test I'm taking, and if I don't study, I pass whatever test I'm taking. So I don't believe in studying.

Yoshikko January 21st, 2012 3:50 PM

I never study like, diehard studying-till-midnight, I just kind of look through it a day before the test and make sure I pay attention in class because that's where I learn the most. If it weren't for my class being as obnoxious as hell though that would be a lot easier for me lol >.>

Her January 21st, 2012 3:57 PM

I never studied outside of school before 2011, lol. But since 2011 was my last year, I studied as hard as I could whenever an exam was coming up. Much to my disappointment, however, my studying was in vain and I didn't get the fantastic results I had hoped :(

A lot of people stumble when it comes to choosing a major for their first few years in uni so I'd say that's perfectly fine! :3 My mom though was absolute hell to deal with since she wanted me to choose right away and not waste any time... I really do understand why she'd say that but it still stressed me out to no end. Though I'm in no way shape or form angry at her over it - in fact, I appreciate it a ton.

I'm finally starting to take interesting courses so I'm somewhat looking forward to next semester, as much as I dread the trip to uni and back.

Shiny January 21st, 2012 4:33 PM

It's my last school year this year before I graduate and head off to university and like many members here, don't study : x maybe I should...

CapricornPsyche January 21st, 2012 4:56 PM

I'm a college Student myself. I'm generally a B student and the worst grades I get are C's whenever it's a really tough class or class I don't really like. When it Comes to something I love It's usually get a B or an A

Black Ice January 21st, 2012 5:26 PM

I've just been going through high school on autopilot. I really don't care anymore, which is completely acceptable now since I'm a senior. 3.6 GPA unweighted and 4.3 weighted, so I'm still a valedictorian. Funny how that happens since I'm lazy as a mofo.

I blew through a bit under $150 today. New chukkas, a cassette-MP3 adapter, some v-necks, a pair of chinos, and red canvas shoes. It's nice not having to pay bills or taxes. Got money to throw around everywhere.

2Cool4Mewtwo January 21st, 2012 5:36 PM

I've studied like crazy until I finished my college applications, then I studied just enough to know basic things on my semester exam... I'll let senioritis take full control of me now. I'm more than satisfied with 3.8 unweighted and 4.6 weighted GPA with very competitive and demanding classes.

I wish I had a job, to buy all of my materialistic objects it would give me responsibility.

The amount of comics, games and anything digimon I would buy...

Alley Cat January 21st, 2012 6:16 PM

If I had a job... my life would be 100x better right now. At least I'd be able to pursue my hobbies :L

Shiny January 21st, 2012 6:25 PM

True, like I'm a comic fanboy but I haven't bought comics in about three months o_x;

Livewire January 21st, 2012 9:44 PM

My Grandpa has a copy of like the First Edition of the First Superman comic. Explains why it's been encased in glass in his safe since I was a little kid, ahaha.

Meganium January 21st, 2012 10:07 PM

I wasn't really into comics. My little sister is a huge fan of the Archie comics. Shee has a good chunk of them, most are Betty & Veronica.

^ I so agree. It's been a month or so now and my parents are now popping the "so when are you getting a job?" question this weekend, and I feel like I'm being rushed. D:

Shiny January 21st, 2012 10:19 PM

I'm into Marvel and DC only, y'know like the superhero comics. My nearest comic shop is 40 minutes away by public transport so no likelihood of getting a job there : <

Shiny January 21st, 2012 11:05 PM

I'm 50 / 50 really. I love the X-Men the most but the thing is Marvel annoys me with their writing, like how they use the same group of characters for every team, they keep releasing events two a year and they kill a character off then revive them 9 months later.

Hyrule January 21st, 2012 11:12 PM

Gotta go DC. Supes and Batman are enough to take half of Marvels heroes easily.

Shiny January 21st, 2012 11:56 PM

I've always prefered superheroes if they actually have superpowers, not just access to a fortune to buy weapons and such from.

Livewire January 22nd, 2012 12:03 AM

Na nananananananananananananana Batman.

He's human. That's why he's the best.

moments. January 22nd, 2012 12:19 AM

I like Batman cause if I go to the gym and make millions of dollars, I could become him.
All them radioactive guys, or mutants or whatever, gives me no hope. :(

Shiny January 22nd, 2012 1:10 AM

moments. not true, My brother tried feeding me to a wolf but I only got bit, which would explain my unhuman appearance.
