Today I was talking with someone about life. He asked how I was doing, and I when I told him I was tired because I only got 4 hours of sleep doing homework, he scoffed and told me I should switch to another major, because I could do nothing like him. When I told him I would rather do something…
We really are being taught to do the minimum to get by. And then we are aghast when we do not get the highest of praise or in school do not get the highest grades. We expect to be given a lot and have to do very little to get it. I see this arise in my own life and it is extremely difficult to combat when I am surrounded by others who hold those same perspective. I fight this battle DAILY. I know this is going off in a tangent that doesn’t really relate to Mac’s topic of money, but I really identify with this failure to work hard right now. I have gotten lazy lately and I just feel so hopeless sometimes.
