Do any teenagers just study? I think they all try to do about 3
other things (maybe more) when they are studying. Here's my take on a
typical study evening (based on other teens - NOT mine of course)
- Lie on bed at awkward angle.
- Make sure desk and chair are filled with dirty clothes and gym bag so it cannot possibly be used for studying.
- Log-on to AIM
- Ensure that cell-phone is open and nearby (set on vibrate OF COURSE)
- Read over assignment to make sure you understand it.
- Turn on music on Pandora.
- Check email.
- Call friend to check that assignment is correct.
- Go downstairs to grab something to eat...stomach is growling.
- Ignore Mother's request to set the table.
- Change music to Itunes Library - Pandora was getting irritating.
- Better check Facebook to see if anyone's written on your wall.
- OMG! I can't believe ____remembers me from 4th grade! I need to write him right back!
- Look at hair in the mirror - is it me or my split ends just gross?
- Answer IM from friend asking about week-end plans, another one pops up - answer that too.
- Do some math problems.
- Remember you have tournament this week-end, charge Ipod.
- Study for test
- Ignore Mother's request to unload dishwasher.
- Answer text from friend about who he can ask out this week-end
- Work on homework.
- Confirm driving lesson - send email.
- Go back to homework.
- IM from friend says to check Facebook, some hot news just posted.
- Ignore Mother's request to take out trash.
- Go downstairs and say, "What's for dinner. Can we eat out?"
- Set table, unload dishwasher, take trash out...shouldn't have gone downstairs.
- Collect 2 weeks worth of dirty clothes from floor and surfaces in room. Dump them all in the laundry room and leave.
- Tell Mother you absolutely have to have your sports jersey washed for the tournament tomorrow.
- Go back upstairs before you can hear Mother's request to find the jersey in the dirty, smelly clothes.
- Go to bed as late as possible, all the while ignoring Mother's determined attempts at enforcing 10:30 electronics ban.
- Wake up as late as possible..tell everyone you're so tired because you stayed up late studying.
Disclaimer: This is a satirical look at teen's study habits. It is a composite picture based on the complaints of other Mothers. My teen-agers never do any of these things.
