Hell Week

So this week is Hell week and luckily it is almost over. So far there has been no time for anything other than studying for tests and writing papers. I have had very little time to talk to my boyfriend or my parents and some of my friends think that I have fallen off the face of the planet. Getting good grades is very important to me because the better grades I get, the better I do in school which leads to the possibility of a better job. Also getting good grades doesn't hurt, especially because it means that my parents will buy me better gifts i.e. more expensive gifts, for Christmas and my birthday. While Hell Week means that there is less time for shopping online and in-store, it also means that when it is over, some serious relaxation will be needed in the form of retail therapy. I only have a few more days until break and when I finish with finals, the mall better watch out for me back home. I know that since it is the Holiday season, there are a lot of sales, but I need to do my research first and make sure that  am paying the appropriate amount for the merchandise. School really does come in handy because it teaches you how to shop. You already know how to do research so when looking for the best product for the best price, you will be able to do so with ease. When it comes to trying to figure out how much you will save before you get to the cash register, math will be used to decipher the  what the price will be after you get that percent off. Finally, having the drive to get the best grades and making sure that you have done your best on a test is easily equatable to making sure that you got all of the things you needed and for best that  money can buy. School actually is useful in life and I'm glad that I payed attention.
