Blog Assignment #6- Online

What do you really do when you're supposed to be working online?
   When you're sitting at your laptop, do you ever wonder "What are they really doing?". I know when I stare into space, I look around and wonder that. Who knows what people are really doing. Are they actually looking at videos on youtube? Are they playing a online game? Shopping? perhaps listening to music? Yes, it may seem silly, but are we really doing what we're supposed to?
        
       We tend to do things we know we're not supposed to. It's human nature. When I look around, I know the people who aren't really working. I mean, sometimes school just gets boring and we need a tiny little boost, besides the coffee, to keep us going. I get that, teachers somewhat get that. It seems that no matter how hard people try to fight it, they can't escape from the fact that they need something extra. Now although listening to music, and playing games is fun and all, it can also be a hindrance. 

      I know that when I listen to music, I can't help but sing along or react someway to it.  And all people are pretty much like that, they can't help it. I won't name names, but I see people singing and stuff all over the place when they work.  It's funny to see them act that way, but then I wonder "What class are they supposed to be taking?". Then I hear what kind of grades they're making and I think to myself "Oh, yep that's the music showing.". Now I'm not saying that listening to music is bad, trust me I'm not, I'm just saying that maybe before we listen to music or do other stuff, we should pay attention to what we have to in our classes. 

      That way, if we get all our work out of the way we can have more time to listen to music and play games online. It's hard at first, but the payoff is definitely worth it. It makes it easier to make good grades. The more good grades we make, the more faster we can move on to the next lesson. The faster we move on, the more time we can have to listen to music and do other things. It's a thought worth considering.

     Now remember, I'm not saying not to listen to music while you work. I'm just saying use it wisely. Don't just focus on the music, be sure to finish your assignments first.  And for the people who play games online.... Well all I can say is, don't do it. The more you play games, the further you'll fall behind, which means the more work you'll have to do when you're out of school. But hey, if you want to not work that's all on you.
