Being a rebel sometimes is good for your health.

Don’t try this at home.

Today I did something I probably shouldn’t have done.

No this isn’t some crazy story about skydiving or jumping off cliffs. It’s actually a lot simpler when you think about it.

I really need to study for an economics midterm I have next week. So this morning I said to myself that I need to go to office hours right after Japanese class.

I was pretty set on doing it since I don’t know what I’m doing in economics right now.

But right after I got out of Japanese, I decided to go straight to my dorm and chill.

Pretty rebellious right?

I never knew that a bad decision like this (that might hurt me in the long run) would give me so much benefits.

It gave me time to help myself.

I’m a grade “A” panicker.

Whenever there’s one homework problem I can’t do on a problem set, I end up freaking out and automatically asking for help.

It’s good to ask for help but sometimes I ask for help for easy questions because I tell myself that I can’t do them.

So instead of going to office hours, I went to my dorm and started on my economics homework by myself.
