Well Joe, you have a busy rest of the week ahead of you. It's already Wednesday and you have an exam Friday afternoon in Accounting 3500. You missed the review session today because you overselpt, but you think you should be fine because you got an A+ on your last exam, which you spent a week studying for.

Since you did so well on the last exam, you debate on going to Harpo's because it's wedding Wednesday and all your friends are going.
What do you do?
- [[Go out. You're not gonna study until tomorrow anyway.]]
- [[Stay in, you're too tired anyway.]] You chose Nick.

Nick, it's Wednesday afternoon and you have a shift at 7pm tonight at Harpos but you also have an exam at 8pm in one of your sports management classes. You forgot to request off and no one will take your shift. The boss will not let you miss your shift because you were too irresponsible to request off in advance but you cannot miss your exam.
What do you want to do?
- [[Miss your shift, but you'll probably be fired.]]
- [[Miss the exam, tell the professor you got sick and hope he will let you make up the exam..]]<img src="https://caffeinatedintermissions.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/11248603-illustration-of-a-cartoon-house-by-a-starry-night.jpg" />
You decide to stay home, it's probably for the better.
Soon, it's the [[next morning]].It's Thursday. One day before your exam.
You think it's around 9am when you wake up. You look at your phone and realize that it's 2pm!!!

You were going to spend all day studying but you woke up very late. You missed another class and now are hours behind on studying.
You shower, eat, and then head straight to the [[library]].<img src= "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/23/Quizz_transparent.png" />
You get to the library but you have the worst headache. You are not able to focus and do not know any of the concepts. You only stay an hour before you decide to [[leave.]]
Wooo! You went out!
Harpos and 10b wedding Wednesday is the best. Drinks are cheap and music good. You and all youre friends are having a really good time, so much fun you end up spending more than 20 dollars.
It's finally closing time at the bar and you are [[blacked out]]
Soon, it's the next [[morning ..]]Good choice.
You head to the library and start studying.

[[A few hours go by,]]
Good job! You chose school over work.
You get a text the next day and you got fired, but you got an A on your exam! Your grade in the class is now at a 95%.
Your mom is proud and says that she will now give you more allowence money for making the right choice.
YAY! No more work for you!
Have a great rest of your [[college]] semester, Nick!

You chose work over school.
<img src= "https://llbmatters.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/work-vs-study.jpg" />
You go into work and miss your exam, but you made 100 dollars.
The next day you email your professor you lie and say you got sick. He explains that you need a doctors note in order to take the exam.
Do you [[lie to your doctor]] or [[make a fake doctors note]]? You lied... and got away with it.
You got the doctors note and you were able to take the exam. You had to take it on Monday, and you still didn't study over the weekend.
How do you think you did?
- [[Decent for not studying.]]
- [[I just failed.]]You made the fake doctors note... and got caught.
The professor does not let you take the missed exam. Your grade in the class goes from a B- to a C-.
You instantly regret choosing a party time job over school. The rest of the semester you try your hardest to get your grade up, but still ends up being the worst sememster of your [[college]] career. Congrats, you got a B. You're getting through [[college]] while doing the bare minimum.
Now decide wheather this is the way you want to live out the rest of your life and college career.
The decision is yours.<img src= "http://www.clker.com/cliparts/4/3/7/f/13645890898197475paper-md.png" />
Yikes, you got a F. Maybe its karma for lying to your doctor. Next time, do the right thing and do not lie in [[college]]
Better luck next time, Nick.<img src= "https://schoolsuccessblog101.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/choose-two.gif" />
College is all about decisions. Which decisions did you make? The good, the bad, or the ugly?
I hope you learned from this experience and were able to understand the realities of college!A few hours go by and you went through all the chapters you need to review and you feel confident about the exam.
Soon it's the [[exam day.]] You take the exam and you think you did really well!
A few hours later the scores come out and you got at 90%!
Congrats!! Hard work pays off and you made the right decision. Now you are able to have a stress free weekend.
Enjoy the rest of your [[college]] semester!

Serious note:
Blacking out is a temporary condition that affects your memory because of the high alchohol levels in your body. Blacking out is very dangerous and could lead you to bad places or things because of impaired judgement. The only way to resolve being blacked out or drunk is time and maybe waiting until the next [[morning ..]] You are now at home. It's only mid-afternoon and you are still extremely tired. You end up taking a nap that lasts "hours."
And by hours... it soon becomes the [[day of the exam.]]Yikes. You didn't study for the exam at all. You chose partying over studying. [[college]] is hard and you should have known better.
