life

i never really took school seriously and was always a slacker and procrastinator. i just wanted to live life and have fun. i always wanted to hang out with my friends, but now, at the age of twenty, i realized that school plays a huge role when it comes to my future. school is what determines my job, my wellfare, and how well my future will be. looking back at my past, i really regret slacking in highschool. maybe, if i wouldve done better in school, i wouldnt be stuck at uw sheboygan. not that its a bad school, its just that i wouldve been able to go straight to the college of my dreams. uw madison. im hoping to transfer to madison in the spring, but things might not go as planned because of how poorly ive been doing. not that i want to brag, but, i know that im not a dumb person and i can do very well in school if i tried. thats just the thing, i dont. thats one of the biggest mistakes ive made and im wanting to change that now. i want to do good in school and i want to have a good future. if i cant do something as simple as keeping my grades up and reading or doing homework, how do i plan to survive in the real world when it comes to a job? i might not be ready for the world and i might tell the world to wait until im ready, but its not going to. the world is constant, it keeps moving even when we dont. nothing good comes from slacking. ive learned the hard way. if i could go back and study harder from highschool until now, you bet i would change that. yes, having fun is important, but theres a time to have fun, and a time to be serious. my fun time is over and now its time to start planning my life and its time to worry about my future. i realized that id rather work hard now and relax later than relaxing now and working my butt off in the future. i know that if i wouldve studied harder in highschool, i would be further than i am today with school. that is one regret that i will always carry with me... now i understand why my parents always pushed me so much in highschool. they just wanted the best for me. theyve done all that they can and now its my turn to take care of my own life. no more slacking around. its time to get down to business. life is nothing to mess around with. it is what you make it.
