It’s the end of the year; finals are about to start, but even with that impending darkness there is a light at the end of the tunnel: summer. Whatever your summer plans consist of it’s more than likely they have little to nothing to do with school. However, with just weeks away from a well-earned vacation, the bomb gets dropped that your teacher wants you to do some form of work. Not really having a choice you accept the assignment, but why is it that several students come back to school empty handed? Here are some reasons as to why those assignments don’t get done:
“I had to do the suburban hustle”
During the summer, students who don’t already have jobs don’t want to waste their time looking for one. But it’s summertime and when you’re strapped for cash, hustling can be one of the quickest ways to get some money. The suburban hustle differs from the more common street hustle. It consists of selling things that you no longer need or things that hold less value than whatever it is you’re trying to buy. For men it’s pretty easy to get sucked into the suburban hustle; it’s summer and the females are about, unfortunately no matter how much “game” you have (unless your ideal date is gazing at the sunset) you’re going to need some money to get the honey. The suburban hustle is moderately effective, but it requires having good contacts and a charismatic personality. This doesn’t really leave a lot of time for summer assignments, especially when done correctly.
“I was too busy getting big”
More common than the suburban hustle is when the students decide to ‘get big.’ This means they devote themselves to becoming more fit or muscular than the year before. Summer is almost three months of pure off-time, and even if you do hang out with friends, the majority of the students at school won’t see you for the duration of this time. For those seeking to ‘get big’ this means staying active and working out on the regular. Getting homework done is good and all, but when compared to doing the ‘pec dance’ for your peers, well it’s no contest.
“I was on a conquest”
There are millions of games in the world and with those games come millions more players. It’s summer and when it’s late at night and the partiers have stopped partying, the hustlers are done hustling, and the athletes are resting they’re overworked bodies; the gamers are wide awake, wide-eyed, and electrified. Their only source of energy being the snack of their choice and the sheer intensity of the game they’re playing. The nature of the conquest varies from each game, but the goal is mainly the same; be the best. The conquest is a difficult venture. There are always people looking to beat you at your own game. If you’re not playing, you’re sleeping. If you’re not sleeping, you’re playing. You don’t have time for the world and the world doesn’t have time for you. Most who have accepted the conquest don’t even remember the assignment let alone the day before.
“I have too much swag”
Now ‘swag’ comes in many styles, and for the leaders in this world it can be a pain to get your swag to the next level. Raising your swag involves a great deal of things: changing your clothes, catch phrases, getting followers to adopt your trends, and much more. Now most seekers of the swag know that in order to eventually become swag-masters they don’t have to look for it, it’ll come to them in due time. In a world full of things to discover a swag-master can’t be bothered to deal with homework of any kind.
