I work hard, but I don't work too hard.
School has always come easily to me. I do the busy work, yes, and I really do know that it is busy work, but I never let myself get stressed about it. The only stress I've felt through my high school career was when some of those assignments all piled on top of each other, or recently when I was filling out my applications and doing school work. I do work hard, but it isn't to the point where I can't live it a little. That is for entirely different reasons.
My parents think that getting a ticket for driving a friend around when I wasn't supposed to be driving anyone under 25 and having been caught (only with circumstantial evidence) of smoking pot constitutes a downward spiral that only more stringent controlling parenting can fix. Telling them that their fascist style of parenting (monitoring my myspace messages) makes me want to die certainly didn't help. And knowing that my college experience was my way out of their shithole, they also said threatened to take away their college funding support if I got into any kind of "serious trouble" or "betrayed them" (whatever that means).
I'm certainly ready to live a little, and I've been working for it all my goddamn life.
