Brain Dump - Big Mistake

The biggest mistake that I ever made in high school was more or less mastering the art of BSing everything.
For anyone that doesn't understand, BSing something is doing as little work as possible, while learning as little as possible, for the highest grade in the class. At least, that's how effective BSing is done.
And let's be honest, it's not particularly difficult to do. This is high school we're talking about. Most answers can be found by skimming over the study guide, or else performing a google search, and I'm not sure teachers even read most students essays. I've known a few teachers that I'm pretty sure gave the same grades to the same students all year long. It was as if she, upon discovering where she expected the student to be, just decided to blow the rest of the year off and keep that student in exactly the same position.
Now, students and teachers can be blamed or the conception and application of this nasty habit, but that's not the point here.
My point is, don't do it.
Fortunately, I did not BS everything, otherwise I doubt I would have made it into college, or survived thus far. However, I can easily predict how badly my poor study habits are going to hurt me in the future.
Learn something.
Anyways, that's my first post ever. For anyone in the peanut gallery chanting "weak!"...
That's what BSing does to a fellow.
