You should probably finish that math homework; prepare those essay quotes, read that textbook chapter. You should, but it’s Wednesday, which is almost Thursday, which is almost Friday, which is almost the weekend, so you’ll do it later. Ah yes laziness makes the world go round...when it feels like it.
In all seriousness though teen laziness is an epidemic. When was the last time you woke up bright and early and full of energy and actually accomplished something meaningful? If you think you can actually name a time then you’re lying to yourself and everyone else, shame on you! You have no doubt heard the insane conspiracy theory that it all comes back to not getting enough sleep but that’s just preposterous. I mean come on; you’re totally good to go on those precious 3 hours you got last night. Just slap on a band-aid (and by band-aid I mean a Starbucks moca-frappa-vente-latte-chino) and you’re good to go.
So go forth you youthful ball of energy: drive the two blocks to school, don’t understand a word the teacher is saying, sleep with your head down on a desk then drive home and sleep some more.
Ironically I’m too lazy to write a full post so I’m using this to fill my minimum 250 word requirement.
Lalalalalalalalalalala!!!!!!!!!!
Undoubtedly you’re probably shaking your head at this horrendous display of spelling, grammar, and the complete misuse of “there” “they’re” “their” “your” and “you’re”, but in keeping with the theme no form of spell/grammar check was used cause ain’t nobody got time for that!

way to illustrate your point ;)
ReplyDeleteI feel like this post can even go back to our conversation on whether or not school is realistic. I think sometimes we may be lazy because we feel school is unrealistic, and the requirements are unjustifiable. We relax as a sense of rebellion, or just mental rehabilitation.
It is certainly an epidemic. I don't know any teenager who could actually look you in the eye and say that they had a great sleep and have so much energy and are ready to go.. It doesn't happen. I don't totally understand why but naps are now over 2 hours long and sleep always comes before homework...
