Lazy students scoring good grades, :[ Options

[Just_Dream]

A friend of mine never went a certain class last quarter and he only shows up for the midterms and the final exam. Notes from the class are only posted up during class, so you can't even get them outside of class, and often other students won't share their notes -- those science classes are competitive! And I saw him again this quarter and he tells me that he got a good grade in the class. WTF. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?! He says he never studies though. I don't know if I believe him. My other friend always sleeps in class, but she studies like a day before me, yet she gets a whole letter grade higher than me. And I thought I understood the material more than her. Bleh. =_="

And then my own boyfriend takes classes with me and he never participates in mandatory discussions, but he still gets points for it. He even sleeps and I'm the one taking notes and paying attention. I even studied more than him, lol. I haven't even been helping him in his classes anymore, but when we took some classes together, he would never study and he'd get equal or higher grades as me! That makes absolutely no sense. Why can't I be as good at BSing or multiple choice like he is?!

Does anyone else know some people like this or are you someone like this?! HMM?!

lol in AP Calculus AB back in my junior year in HS, I would copy my friends' homeworks (I rotated to different people every other day), and I realized my grades were falling to a B+ (everyone else had A-'s and above), so I did my hw by myself one night and we had a major test the next day and I got the highest score on that, and that miraculously bumped my grade up to the highest grade in the class. My friend was kind of bitter for the next few days. D: IDK HOW IT HAPPENED!

And making that Mongolian beef too. Do you want to try? lol Oh but then after that test I realized that I should start studying and that actually helped me pass the test! :D


Augh, lazy people make it so easy. And I mean the ones who don't do anything and just show up after skimming the notes and do well. It's only happened once to me, where I studied for like 45 min for a final, and this guy spent 5 hours studying, and I got 10% higher than him. It was sad, I felt so bad. It was worse with my boyfriend since he studied less than me he and I got the same grade. wth. ;o He didn't even cheat off of me. Damn those multiple choice!

This is me. Not that I always do well, but it generally at least gets me B's, provided we're not talking about math or science. In those classes I'd try the same methods, but the results would be way worse.
