Why am I RISKing my grades?

In college there is a wide gap between your ambitious daily goals and your what you actually accomplish during the day.

For instance I needed to study for my Tuesday finals. So I made up a strict schedule of study times in order for me to ace them all. But then life got in the way and laughed hysterically at all my silly goals. Here is a chart of what I wanted to happen and what actually happened this last Monday.

Goal: wake up at 9, get ready, and start working on your outline for your final essay in Eng 218.

Reality: woke up at 11

Goal: Eat a healthy meal to ready your mind for finals.

Reality: Went to KFC with friends then walked to Wal-Mart for my 4th Ben and Jerry’s this week.

Goal: Spend afternoon working on outline for Eng 222

Reality: Engaged in epic battle of Risk with friends (Taylor, Brandon, Megan, Cheston, Nick, Marisa, Kelly)

Goal: Study for Biology final until the Closing Social begins

Reality: I took a nap (in my defense Risk took a lot out of me and I needed to sleep off my Ben and Jerry’s hangover)

Goal: After social go home and get to bed early

Reality: Stayed up till midnight and watched a movie with my friends.

In conclusion, I made some pretty bad life choices…..and will probably continue making them since we haven’t finished Risk yet and Taylor and I are owning!
