My Problem in High School was that I didn’t really care. I knew I’d pass anyway so i didn’t work that hard to succeed or to even be there most of the time. Sophomore year was a true testament and validation of my attitude. I got to first period late almost everyday and when I was early, I’d celebrate by cutting class. For about half the year, I didn’t carry books or paper to class unless something was due and i happened to have done it. But even with all this disregard for academic gains, I still held a B+ average, which was higher than when I thought i doing well in school.
Starting college, I have a different yet similar problem. I sleep and play way too much Modern Warfare 2. As an example, I’ll go over the events of a few recent days. I got home sunday at 6pm, ate, then went to sleep at eight. I awoke at midnight to play Modern Warfare 2 which i did until 7am, Monday. We had the day off so I went to sleep at 9am and awoke at 6pm, then proceeded to play until 6am, even though I had to leave in 3 hours for a midterm. This single-mindedness has led to latenesses, missed assignments and other problems. But I really don’t wanna stop. Even when I try to play less, I just sleep more and problems still exist. I think i might need help, but I’m kind of okay with it. At least until I get really bad grades, then I guess i have to take action.
