Remember to Study, Kids

14th Apr 2016 14:56 I had a final exam yesterday for an environmental studies class. It's worth 30% of my final grade, and you'd think I'd study my butt off for this. But no. I did not study.
I went into the exam blind, and I didn't review any of the material whatsoever because Marapets 2016 Easter event was going to end soon, and I really wanted those gourmet eggs. So yeah, I kind of ditched my studies to complete the Easter Egg Hunt event.
I got to exam room, sat down, flipped the booklet open to the first page, and lo and behold. I did not understand a single word. Like, what on earth was a pingo? Nevertheless, it was a multiple choice scantron exam, so I filled out the sheet like colouring in a lottery ticket.
I walked out the room feeling dazed and unable to process what had happened. I'm pretty sure I flunked that exam, and my cGPA is going to plummet like the Titanic.
Yeah, I got my 40x2 gourmet easter eggs, but at what cost?
Moral of the story:
Nothing is more important than yourself and your own future. The economy in Marapets is absolutely awful, but the global economy in reality is even worse. Play all you want, but remember to study; a degree is valuable, and it can push you into better social and economical position in life. Maybe. Like I said, reality's economy is a heap of trash right now.
And on that note, I should probably start studying for my next exam.
