There is a high school saying, “you can have two of the following but not all three: Social Life, Good Grades, or Sleep.” Only a mere two years ago, I vividly remember entering high school and hearing this saying. At the time, I was Timorous. What do I give up? Will I lose my friends? My good grades? As school started, I kind of found my spot. I wasn 't obtaining all 100’s but nothing below a 93. I slept eight hours a night. Life was great, I had no teachers that taught as Machiavelli. I had a great friend group. This next phase is where everyone gets disoriented.
This feeling or comfort, the feeling of winning a game, will leave you as fast as you discover the Lottery was simply a mass killing. For some, need to read it ten times …show more content…
But where are these people going? College I presume? But once they enter college, then what? Do you still only study? Not take in any of the college experience? If you only study what stories will you tell your kids about when you were in college? Will you even have kids, if you never go out, how will you find the love of your life? Or do you decide to take a break from getting amazing grades and start a social life. When people decide to do this there are two different results from it. 1) There grades completely go down the drain and you have to some back home for the holidays and explain to your parents why they have to pay $25,000 for another semester. 2) You realize it is too late to start a social life. The problem is after spending your whole life with no social life, imagine what you have missed. You wouldn’t know the Juju on that beat. Justin Bieber would still be a teen with a high voice. You couldn’t start up a social life you had already killed it. You can try to bring it back, as Lennie attempts to bring back each mouse, but time after time you’ll never get it …show more content…
I would almost bet that their first block class is gym, or band and they needed and extra hour and a half. And that they fell asleep studying for an AP Chem exam at 2:30 A.M. And woke up at 7:30 and said “f#ck it to first period.”
Then there are the kids that think this whole rhetorical question is bullshit, like I did. They think that if I lose a little sleep, and a little bit or my social life, and my grades drop a little it will be okay. This is as wrong as saying, global warming is a hoax made up by the Chinese. What will end up happening, which I have learned, is that each part will slowly slip away. And you will be left with nothing. No friends, No good grades, and no sleep because you are trying to hard to fix the dilemma.
I have found the answer to this terrible, yet brilliant rhetorical question. To win the game you do need all three but not necessarily all at once. If you look at this on a day by day point of view it is completely achievable. The week of finals for example, no social life and possibly no sleep; because you need to be focussed on school. Then, during vacation, no need to think about good grades, why do you think vacation is everyones favorite. Then during the week you need to decide, what two categories need your attention? Be careful though, because the second you try to satisfy all three your life can start caving
