Fresh Minds Win

In almost every school there is a time that we must work, and a time that we want to joke around and chill. I didn’t like the work time, so I simply always messed around.

Because of that decision, I was always an F student. It was somewhat fun, no doubt, but I think it cost me more bad times than anything. It wasn’t fun at all struggling at almost everything besides English. Yeah, I got to know everyone in the class, and was the class clown, but I think back and wonder if it was really worth it. The only way I passed through the grades 1 – 5 was because they had to pass you.

The time that people can chill and the time that people must work is what everyone has trouble with. It can easily cause a person’s grade fall into a low category. What I’m trying to say is that you can chill, even if you have to do a lot of work.

Instead of just joking around, you could do the work first and have a few laughs after. It seems like a drag, but it’s really better. For example: whenever I was assigned work, I would usually wait until the last minute to do my work, or homework. I would really mess around all I can, but it wasn’t as fun because I always had to worry about homework.

Unlike now, I do my work when it’s assigned, and I get to chill for the rest of the time! It may seem like there isn’t any relax time if you do all your work first, but really, there is a lot more time than you think.

Some students mess around right off the bat and will end up either not doing the work at all due to procrastination, or in worse cases, not having it done at all. The downside is that the work might not be as good as it could have been if it was done right away with a fresh start. You’ll have a better chance of doing it right when everything you were just taught is fresh in your mind. Of course, that would be better than having work done with a blurry memory.
