Good Idea: wearing the glasses your ophthalmologist recommended (over and over) and said would help you see better and for longer periods when working at the computer all day long.

Bad Idea: wearing the prescribed glasses all the time (because otherwise you'd forget them or lose them - yes, case and all) so that people walking by at a certain distance seem blurry but waving at them anyways because the blurred heads resemble someone you know.

Moral learned: do not wave at random strange guys who you think you know, but turn out to be that weirdo who tried to slip three of your friends his number...within the same hour at the same study table. Said weirdo will always try to make contact thereafter, leaving you confused, amused and annoyed whilst attempting to study for exams.


Good Idea: pre-ordering the latest and final Harry Potter book so you will not have to fight off 12 year olds on the day of release.

Bad Idea: Delaying the pick of up of the book on Saturday afternoon so that you get too busy to read the book, other than the first 80 pages (that you read on the bus while a friend chatted away), and then telling a new friend that she can borrow it for the evening because you will be going out for a friend's birthday and will fall asleep early when getting home. Even though new friend said she would return it the next morning, sometimes morning can mean 6:00pm Sunday evening...at which point you are working on assignments for that upcoming week.

Further Bad Idea: staying up throughout the night on Monday to finish Harry Potter so you can avoid running into people talking about the book and having to run (literally) the opposite way to keep from hearing parts you've not read.

Worse Idea: Staying up all night Monday to read Harry Potter (despite how good it is) and sleeping in until 12:10pm after you've actually finished when you have a group debate presentation to make in class starting at 12:00pm.

Shameful Idea: Pretending to be sick when you finally arrive in class to avoid getting beat down by classmates for being late.
(Hey..it's not like I could tell them why I was really late...and we did end up winning the debate...so, all was well.)

Moral Learned: All sacrifices are worth getting read the final Harry Potter book *sigh*
