Benefits of Enjoying Studying
Is it that important? Do I really need to study? When will I have time to do the things I want? I asked myself these same questions. I didn’t think it was that important, I didn’t think I needed to do it, and I didn’t think I would have time for the things I wanted.
When I was in middle and high school I believed that studying wasn’t all that important. I rarely ever did it, I laughed at the people who did, and I seemed to manage pretty well without doing it. Could I have made better grades and learned more in high school? Maybe, maybe not, who can tell now? The “what seemed to take forever” school day lasted six and a half hours! By the end of the day I was exhausted, agitated, and my brain was “fried.” When the bell rang at 3:35 in the afternoon, my day only continued as I was off to a grueling track practice for two and a half hours. I was ready to get out and have fun with my friends and do the things that I enjoyed. I had it in my mind that since I was in school all day, I didn’t need to waste more of my already minimal time doing work at home. I needed a break or I was going to go insane! Even at times, I told myself I was going to do my homework. Then my friends asked me to go out with them, so guess what I did? Yes, I went out with them and didn’t do my work.
Studying takes time and patience, and time is something not everyone has a lot of. It‘s difficult for someone to change their schedule around, but it‘s very important to do so. I know I would have rather been out having fun, but I needed to realize that my work was more important. It’s very crucial to make time and organize a schedule and stick with it. It’s best for someone to do so in the earlier years of their life, otherwise it will be more difficult for them to manage in college where it all counts and when a decision is made about a career.
