If you’re a student at University Academy, you most likely are used to a heavy workload and high academic expectations. Earning good grades brings plenty of opportunities like Honor Roll privileges, study abroad opportunities, scholarships and hopefully even acceptance to the college of your choice.
But if you’re not interested in any of this, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s everything you need to know about how to get a bad grade in just five days.
Day One: Don’t do any work. Homework can’t be all that helpful as you’re trying to learn new things. Plus, doing your work just provides an awkward level of stress and leaves you with a weird, lingering question: Am I even getting a grade for this? Most of us have probably wondered this at some point throughout high school. And sometimes it’s not for a grade, but other times it is. If there’s a chance it’s not, why really bother?
Day Two: If you discover an assignment is due the next day and you haven’t done it yet, email the teacher. Always email and ask for an extension on your work even though you’ve had plenty of time to do it. I mean, what is even the point of due dates? Surely they don’t matter as long as you get the work done.
Tips for emails to teachers: Never, and I mean never, talk to your teachers nicely and with respect. Never start your email with a proper greeting, and never use correct grammar, capitalization or punctuation in your email. Never use any words like “please” or “thank you.” It makes your teachers think you don’t mean really business and you’re here to play.
Day Three: Once you go home, complain to your parents/guardian. This creates drama. What better way to show you don’t care about school than to create problems with the teachers and stir the pot with your parents? Play both sides (but really just play yours). Who really cares about the outcome, as long as it’s good for you, right? Surely no harm can come from a little manipulation. Losing the trust of your parents and/or teachers definitely will not have any repercussions down the road.
This may backfire, and they may give you tools and resources, but little do they know they’ve walked right into a trap.
Day Four: Don’t use any resources that are available to you. Definitely do not consider attending tutoring. Tutoring could actually help you understand something better or get caught up on your work. If you’re aiming for bad grades, tutoring might be the worst idea you could have. Especially as a teenager, there are so many better things to do after school—like going home.
Day Five: If you’ve followed all of this advice and somehow still have a good grade in the class, remember you only live once (#YOLO). Enjoy your life to the fullest, try not to make time for work at home, and don’t pay too much attention in class. Instead, go home, watch TV, play the game, and ignore anything school related.
Throughout the whole process, remember one thing: When in doubt, just give up and be unorganized. Don’t use your planner, and hopefully you will just lose your work.
Once you finish the tasks for every day, a sense of accomplishment may rise, but in the end, it might actually leave you feeling terrible. You may have thought you didn’t care about your grades, but it’s possible that once you dig yourself into a hole, you’ll realize you don’t want to be there at all.
So if you truly want to get a bad grade in just five days, I suppose you could follow these steps and experience their repercussions first hand. The steps are guaranteed to work if followed correctly.
On the other hand, if you decide it’s best to actually aim for good grades, do the exact opposite.
