[NUMBER OF] Things I Refuse to Do (an inspired post)

I read a blog entry titled “Ten Trends I Refuse to Follow.” It was really entertaining, so I decided to write something similar.

1. Let homework and studying replace sleep. I did this way too much last year. So much that many times, I would end up pulling all-nighters. So much that if I got to sleep 4-5 hours, I would consider myself EXTREMELY FORTUNATE. But no, I’m not letting that happen this year. I’m a senior. I’m getting old. I need at least five hours of sleep every night. AT LEAST. Which means I need more.

2. Freak out about getting into college. Okay. It’s a stressful time right now, I know. But really, what’s freaking out going to do for us now? Just about a month ago, I was worried that I wasn’t worrying enough. Now I’m GLAD that this whole process isn’t killing me. We’re obviously all going to get into SOME college. Whether it’s our first choice or our last choice .. I believe .. is ultimately up to luck at this point. Nothing we can do. Just have to get this college application process overwith and relax.

3. Diet. I envy those girls who can live off of three bowls of salad a day for weeks at a time. I’m sorry, but I just can’t do that. I know that if I don’t, I’ll never be one of those S-line models, but I just can’t. I love food too much.

4. Start watching the new seasons of those 32483039284 different TV shows out there. Because I know that once I start, I won’t be able to stop. And.. I really can’t afford to spend five hours a day staring at the screen right now. Maybe second semester though

5. Go to hagwon. Never have, never will. I don’t care if my grades reflect the fact that I don’t go to any hagwons – at least those grades reflect ME. Plus, I really don’t want any extra work on my hands. KIS already gives me enough as it is.

I’ll add more as they come up
