Re: Ask a bored philosopher-in-training anything.

Why do I still work hard in school if none of the grades that I get matter? I'm a 2nd semester senior in high school and I'm still busting my ass when colleges have all already gotten the grades they need to make a decision. Yet, I still bust my ass working. Why is that?

Evolutionally speaking, the egg came first, as it was probably a mutation in the DNA of the predecessor of the chicken which created the modern day chicken which we are familiar with.

Fortunately, neither chicken nor eggs have any impact on the price of natural peanut butter, since well, peanuts do not come from chickens.

A handful of reasons. First, some colleges will revoke your decision if it is the case that your second semester grades drop. Second, if you have habitualized hard work, you probably feel guilty for slacking off. Last, because part of you understands that by keeping up the hard work now, it will be easier to get your shit done in college, which does matter.

My suggestion: cut back a little, work hard on the weekdays and party hard on the weekends. Also do something fun like lift weights durring the week to take your mind off everything.

I hope so. The meaning of life, is of course extremely subjective, but in my opinion life starts at a meaningless base, and any other sort of meaning you wish to give to your time in this world is built off of that base.

Or in other words, you arn't born into this world with a destiny or a purpose. You get what you make of it.
