Tips for Not Hating School That are Mostly for Myself, But you Might Like Too in Case You are Having Your Mind and Self Esteem Blown by Finals Also
1. listen to brad paisley while doing homework.
2. Eat Chocolate chips while studying.
3. Try not to get angry at teachers. Try really really hard. but if you do, remember that you only have to be with them for a few hours a week, and don't let them ruin the rest of your life. Try really really really hard not to let them but a damper on your spirits. Think about the great teachers you have that try to understand you.
4. Sometimes you just need courage. School is scary, especially when it is determining your future career. If you botch it up a little bit, just pick it up, be more dedicated, have courage to do better and know you can do better from now on.
5. When writing a paper, or a study guide, or anything typed, that is SUPER boring, change the font to one you love, or that's more cute. You can change it back to boring when you print, but why not work with a more fun font?
6. Be patient. Wait for your work to pay off, cause it probably will. Wait for things to work out. In conference Elder Uceda said that patience was also “having the quality of enduring evils without murmuring or fretfulness” or “calm under the sufferance of injuries or offenses.”
So wait, and if while you're waiting someone is just a total rock in your shoe, then try not to "murmer" and stay calm. All of these really hard things to do combine into what is called patience.
One of the hardest things ever.
7. When you are struggling to be patient, or have courage, or not be angry-try and keep your lips zipped. It might keep you out of trouble.
8. Work really really hard. Sometimes that's all you've got left that you can control. President McKay said, ""The privilege to work is a gift. The power to work is a blessing. The love of work is success." You might not love it now, but maybe someday down the road you might start to. Any progress is good, right?
9. Remember how it good it feels when you DO do well. Think about that awesome feeling when you know you have mastered something, and you look back at all you have learned, and you know you are smarter now than you were before. Learning does feel good, it's just hard to remember that amidst mediocre scores and while at BYU, where you just can't ever seem to do as well as you'd like. Grades aren't everything.
10. Someday you won't have school anymore, and maybe you'll miss it. So enjoy what you DO like about it now. Even if it's the social life. I think that that's ok.
THE END. Good luck!
