Someone I know never does her work. It seems she doesn’t. She always watching tv and hasnt been leaving in the morning when that’s when her classes are. I don’t want to be this way at all.
So she’s wasting money by just watching tv and playing music. I never seen her go in the computer and type a paper.
Why ?
Worry about yourself and getting your own work done as well as you can… the habits of others (unless the person you are referring to is your child) should not be your concern.
It’s easy to be lazy, especially after finally getting out of high school. Graduation seems like such a big deal, some people are shocked when they realize studies only get harder in college.
But, I don’t see why what she does would matter to you. If she wants to spend money to relax and party, that’s her own prerogative. If you are more comfortable studying, then you should do that.
Also, just because you don’t see it happen, it does not mean that it doesn’t happen. She may be a fast worker, who gets her stuff done easily and doesn’t need to attend lectures to understand the topic. Do not assign the label of “lazy” to someone because their methods differ from yours.
Someone in my freshman dorm screamed at me that I was wasting my parents’ money by reading magazines and watching television a lot. I ended up majoring in media studies and working in the industry. What looks like wasting time to you might actually be productive for someone else.
My freshman roommate was like that. I could not figure out how she was getting her work done when it seemed that she was just hanging out all the time. Of course, her grades ultimately reflected her lack of effort and she was gone by the end of the year. If you think she is depressed or needs help, you might chat with the RA. Otherwise, be glad this lazy person is not you!
agreed with happy1, unfortunately there are a lot of people doing what “others” are doing and that end up with not a really good result
Some just are.
It’s not really any of your business; I’d hate for someone to be scrutinizing my habits and making faulty value judgments. Worry about yourself.
i agree not to make judgments but is she ok? do you have a relationship with her at all? Maybe she’s not lazy or doesn’t have different studying methods, maybe she goes to the library to type her papers; or maybe she is overwhelmed and needs some help. It’s certainly not your responsibility but If you think you can ask her in a nice way - maybe she needs to talk to a counselor if she’s feeling down about herself.
This is helicopter parenting backfiring.
Consider “students are lazy” as an axioma with some exceptions. Another issue is to fight your laziness.
