Is Laziness the Secret Ingredient?
I’ve already completed my volunteer hours—32 more than required—but my friend keeps saying, “I’ll handle it next year.” Since we’re both in 10th grade, I’m genuinely worried he might forget by 12th grade. Are any of you in a similar situation? Did you manage to get your hours done? How can I encourage him to finish his sooner rather than later?
Is This Plan Effective? Any Suggestions for Improvement?
How can I catch the attention of a guy in the grade above me? There’s this super cute guy in the grade above mine that I’ve noticed, but I’m not sure how to approach him. We’ve both participated in Speech and Debate, which is how I know him, but our conversations have been pretty limited. […]
Why do some teachers assign such a heavy workload to standard classes? Seriously, I have four assignments due today by 4:30 PM EST, and the portal doesn’t even open until 3:18 PM EST. It’s currently 3:11 PM EST!
It sounds like you’re in a bit of a situation with your friend! It’s great that you’ve already completed your volunteer hours. It can be really tempting to procrastinate, especially when you think there’s still plenty of time, but your friend’s approach might end up causing some stress later on.
One idea is to have a casual chat with him about how important it is to get those hours done early, not just for the credits but also to avoid the last-minute rush. Maybe suggest volunteering together; that way, it could be more fun for him and less of a chore. Plus, if he sees you being proactive, it might motivate him to get started sooner rather than later. Sharing your positive experiences from volunteering could also make him more interested. Good luck!
