From the middle of August to the end of May we are given assignments to do yet every year at the time of spring break students will start to slack off on their work. Why is that? Why is it that some students are so good about being on task and getting work done but around the same time every year they stop? The only reason I can come up with is spring fever. When the weather starts to get nice most people would rather be outside enjoying themselves as opposed to inside writing a paper or doing math problems. The only problem with this is, about the time that students start having spring fever, the end of the year is approaching, which means finals. Instead of staying inside and studying so that they can do well, they are outside playing. You can't totally take away credit, their are some people that do stay inside and study, but half the time their minds are elsewhere. If school can just end a little bit earlier than I think that most students would perform better because they would be able to focus more. However, seeing as how that will never happen, students just need to hold on and not let the weather get the better of them.

Why do some people get road rage so easily?

A couple of weeks ago when I was on my way to work somebody stopped in the middle of the intersection to yell at another driver. When this happened I started wondering what in the world the poor person could have done to get yelled at. I mean seriously, when your driving down the road how many people do you see doing everything perfect. There's always somebody on the road doing something wrong. I personally think that the main reason people are so quick to anger out on the road is because they don't realize that they've probably done the exact same thing before. Granted, when somebody cuts you off you aren't going to automatically think of all the times that you cut someone else off, but you can control your anger. Obviously this is easier said than done. If people can control their anger on the road, then it can be a lot safer out there.
