Poll Results In: People Don't Like Writing School Papers

OK.... we didn't really need a poll for that. The more specific question (even if it was just for fun) was this: "How much time do you spend writing a paper?"

After counting all three responses (I almost had to use both hands when counting), here are the results:
Paper? What Paper got two votes
About 15 minutes got two votes
About an hour got one vote
Several weeks got NO VOTES

By that overwhelmingly lopsided poll result it's clear that we like avoiding the pain of writing papers for as long as possible. This was all for fun and games, but like all tasks that take hard work and sacrifice, I'm sure the truth is in there somewhere.

It takes discipline to force ourselves to set aside our fun-loving tendencies and embrace the responsibility of doing our homework.

As students approach a new term or semester, they must ask themselves if they are prepared for the sacrifices that must come when seeking a college degree.

I made a mistake my first semester of college over 20 years ago. I spent more time having fun and failed my classes. It was a waste of my time and money. What kind of student are you? What is your idea of a good student? What is your idea of a bad student?

If we're truly honest with ourselves, we probably resemble both the good and the bad. We're a little of both.
