Not good. Studying has proven to be more akin to banging my head on a stack of papers in an attempt to force something in rather than a holistic, self-improving experience it's hyped up to be. Obviously, doing other things at the same time such as compressing my voice box to the tune of "Atlantis is calling", laughing at random things and playing disco tracks over and over again in my head doesn't help a whole bunch either.

The stupid woman is beginning to tick me off even more.

It could be some kind of warped viewpoint of mine, but with the world becoming more and more of a fashion parade, even in strange places like JCs, where a school uniform is a school uniform even if you wear it backwards and upside down, nerdy is just about going to become the new cool. Seeing as how the girls are shortening their skirts like army officers shorten their lifespans almost without exception, it's the prim and proper ones who care more about looking decent those who want to blend into the shameless crowd that catch eyes.
Now, before you close the window and declare me a heretic, hear me out some more.
Opportunity cost is a concept that has long defined mankind's existence. The fact that you can't do one thing without compromising something else holds true everywhere. It is beautiful, because it forces people to think about how to spend their resources to get omre out of it than others.
Lately, however, people have been trying to twist the forces of nature.
Let's touch on the first group of people, students. Many of these students claim that despite putting in effort and studying they still fail. However, as mentioned earlier, in such an image conscious world, impression matters more than anything. In other words, people want to mug and look cool doing it, which, quite frankly, is a bloody oxymoron. This means that people are now more concerned with looking like they're studying as opposed to actually studying, which is bloody irritating and makes them look like assclowns, if you ask me. Not that the world doesn't have a place for assclowns.
Mugging may have degenrated into slang for studying as opposed to clobbering someone on the head with a drinking tool, but you know your life is sad when your social life revolves around pretending to study in public as an excuse to both go out and study.
Not enough? Let's move on to another group within urban society :Churchgoers. You could call me blesphemous or whatever and I'm probably flogging a dead horse to decomposition, but people are more focussed now on worship as a social activity more than anything else. Just a few days ago, someone said ,"I need to go to church this sunday or my friends will be disappointed." Bullshit. Right now, churches are being used as a free form of sunday daycare, music lessons and dating services among other things, the main argument for keeping people in churches being "you have friends here, you should come!"Basically, everything but what the church was originally meant for.
Mind you, I do know people who actually are religious, but you can't really separate these people apart from the surface worshippers because anyone can pretend to be holy and stuff. If you asked "If all your friends stopped going to church and all the perks you got out of it were cut off, would you still go to church?" The answer would obviously be yes, because a)They are trying to act holy in the first place and b) Humans have a fear of getting arbitrarily struck down by lightning.
In fact, it's sunk to a level where being religious is another form of being cool, and like any fad that comes along, there will be posers. It's kind of sad once you think about it.
Obviously, you'd have the other extreme, that is people who completely denounce religion and call it a bunch of trash, which, once again, is a way of grabbing attention.
Everything right now has been degraded to the fact that you don't actually have to be doing something to look good, all you need to do is to act like you're doing it when you're doing other stuff at the same time.Absolutely sick.
