The only time I can do any form of school work (excluding projects) is during school. Am I lazy or some of you out there just like that?
 
No, you're fine dude. High-school is just a bunch of busywork to keep teenagers off the job market. Be smart and drop out and get your GED. Most colleges will accept a GED especially if you do well on your SATs.

Then you'll have more time and can pursue your real interests at the library (or wherever).
 
Also, you'll have more free time to make money if you want.

Then you can just go to school when you feel like it, skip classes and just hang out during lunch hour to chat with your friends or pick up girls.
 
lol nice advice Narz "just drop out". And yes you have found somebody like you. I basically have this idea, if I dont finish in class or in first hour the next day its not getting done.
 
Yeah, here's the easy way out. Demonstrate that you're massively intelligent, then take a whole bunch of AP courses independant study. Then you can get college credits while sitting in the library yakking with whoever happens to drop by (and if noone is there just sleep).

Man, my senior year was the shizzle.

same here I just can't focus all that well. mostly because I have the mindset that I just spent 8 hours working and now they want me to take stuff home. They won't let me work 8 hours straight asking people if they want fries with that, but they'll force me to do complex calculus after I just spent 8 hours at school.
 
not really on topic, but i like to rant too...

IM LAZY !!! i procrastinate too much. natural born slacker and i rather do things like playing games, surfing porn, cooking and eating than to buck up and look for a new job.

FYI, im in a job that i dont really like and just passing thru day by day.

I need to get my master too, which i procrastinate also.

any help ?
 
For the record, Steve Jobs dropped out of college and just hung around attending only the classes he found interesting.

Bill Gates also dropped out of college.

These two guys are now richer than this whole forum put together and mutiplied by 100. ;)

Granted they have vision and persistance. But I figure the quicker one gets out of school and into the workforce the better (though I do realizee 13 is kind of young for that).

By the way, ANDL, your site is hilarous. Learn Chinese... :rotfl:

Find an inspiring goal... or an inspiring woman... :mischief:
 
I dropped out of high school and got a GED. I'm a lot brighter now since I fled the state cattle ranch.

There are people like Narz?! :eek:

Awesome! :goodjob:
Yes it seems like you and rms are quite similar.

Sure there are plenty of examples of people that dropped out of school or college and were succesful but there success is emphasized simply because they got so far without extensive education. Overall you have a much better chance in making more money if you go to college. Unless you have some random talent in movie directing or something, staying in school and going to college will probably help.

Two people out of millions?

Yeah I'm sure you could name more but it still wouldn't be anywhere near the amount of people that dropped out of high school and live their daily life on food stamps and WIC checks.

"just drop out"

Great advice to give on a gaming forum. Hopefully most of the kids here are smart enough to not listen to that...
 
One thing though is that for many people without the discipline a school system supplies (especially deadlines when you *must* hand something in) they may not actually get motivated to do the work. Especially if they are working at the same time and come home exhausted. They may *mean* to do the work but well you know the saying, the mind is willing but the flesh is weak. Also, in school you are surrounded by people in the same situation you are in so you have friends who understand if you have to do an assignment and who are willing to help you. Also there is that atmosphere that you *have* to get that assignment done because everyone else around you is working on it as well. People tend to reinforce each other's opinions and actions (it's how religious and political groups and well any sort of ideological group work and why people who are brainwashed often clear their minds once they get away from the group).

Isn't peer pressure great? :D

I refreshed the window and this appeared (if not, I'm tired :P)
