It takes more effort to be lazy than it takes to actually do something.

Despite my aversion to physical activity of any nature, one of the many things that annoys me to no end, is when people avoid any responsibilities at all costs, and try to relegate their meagre workload to others.

School, the place where I gain all of my limited life experience, provides me with countless examples of such slackers. There are WAY too many students who are only still at school in year eleven because they have nothing better to do, even if they clearly do not want to be there. Even those who want to be there, are all too frequently reluctant to complete the meagre workload we are given. Honestly we don't have that much to do, and I hate to think of the rude shock we'll all get once we enter the real world, where there are actual ramifications for being unreliable and lazy. We have it pretty easy at school- achieving a 90% on a major project is applauded, yet if it was in the big scary real world, we would be vituperated for missing that last 10%, which could be crucial for the operation of whatever it is you were working on. If it is so easy to excel at school by simply completing all assigned tasks and doing a bit of study, then anyone who values their education should do it rather than decide that they cannot be bothered.

Furthermore, it is boring when you have no intellectual stimulation. You can't avoid it with such passion and then complain that you are bored. I know a good way to combat that, why don't you try PUTTING IN SOME EFFORT AND TRY TO COMPLETE THE PITIFUL LITTLE ASSIGNMENTS THAT ARE ALLOCATED TO YOU! And then the very same people who consistently put in little effort have the cheek to complain when they receive bad marks. What do they expect will happen!

One final thing to consider is that in the time you spend manufacturing some pathetic excuse, and stressing about leaving everything to the last minute, you could have done something constructive and made a start on whatever it was you were meant to do. And, in the context of school at least, whatever it is you were meant to do is probably not that challenging, and if it is, then there is plenty of help readily available.

We should all be nerds and study all the time. Then we can be like Germany and have cool cars and hot scientists, AND save the environment.
