In school, I wonder all the time where I am going to use anything I’m learning. Why is this important? Is my future really going to depend on two-dimensional kinematics or box-and-whisker plots? Fact: it’s not. But then I feel less motivated to study. So I have come up with reasons for my friends and me to study, even the stupid, useless things. (box-and-whisker plots, I’m talking to you)
1. Will this be a Jeopardy question? That is my main question I ask myself if I am wondering where I will use this. As a avid Jeopardy watcher I hope to someday be on the show and win lots of money, so yes, I will need to know those things, no matter how useless they seem.
2. Someday getting to be the boss of all the plebs that annoy me- this is more for my friends, who have to constantly do the work of 3 people because of terrible project groups. I told my friend the other day to not worry, someday he will be their boss and can flaunt his 6 figure salary to them. Needless to say, he felt much better. He told me he was going to record my infinite wisdom and listen to it to motivate him.(not in exactly those words, but pretty close. I am a wise and sage guru).
3. Do I have anything better to do? This one is really kind of a last resort. I normally do, but I have to at least sit in class that day, so that’s good (ish).
Now my finals are over and I have a whole weekend to myself. No school for 3 days. And I have sold 122 boxes of Girl Scout cookies. (Sorry I'm so random).
On average, there are 178 sesame seeds on each McDonalds BigMac bun.
