Just Get it Over With

So we are already reaching the end of the first semester, and all the teachers are preparing us for finals. Most of the people in my classes complain about writing the essay or studying or doing whatever you need to do to get ready.

I usually wait to the last minute to do my preparations, but this year I will do whatever it takes to get out of these classes. A majority of the people in my freshman classes are a year or two above this level. So you are telling me that you failed this class in freshman year, failed it in sophomore year, and now you are a junior and are hoping to pass? This is the simplest class you could ever be in. All you do is take notes, take a test at the end of the week, and write an essay every 3 months. It is not that hard. But as soon as Mr. or Mrs. Teacher opens their mouth saying, "Hey there's an essay coming up. Study!" everyone is like, "eughhhh! Not again..."

And I'm over here like, "Uh, you thought that you were just going to come to class all year and never write an essay?" I have found that you really shouldn't complain about what you are doing. Whether it's an essay, or running a mile, or memorizing the Declaration of Independence, you shouldn't try to get out of it by wishing that all the sudden your hand or leg will break, or the teacher will all the sudden call it off. No, just sit your butt down with a pen and paper and write yourself an essay to get out of this class and move on with your life.

Think about it. What if one day you show up at a job interview and they look at your grades, and they see you failed something multiple times?

My point is that when there is something that has to be done, just get it over with or you will feel stupid after. And you will just have to waste time doing something over and over again. And you think it was bad the first time... Just get it done.
