I am fully aware that this semester has not been my best academically as I write in my blog a mere 9 hours away from my biology final exam. I've followed a strict studying regimen in the past, but this year I've really embraced the idea of taking life one day at a time and trying to live it to the fullest, so oftentimes I find myself doing something really fun with my friends instead of spending hours writing that essay that everybody is worrying about. This isn't to say that I haven't been doing my schoolwork, but I just haven't put in as much of my soul into it because when I did I discovered a lot of frustration and disappointment when I didn't get the grade that I wanted.
In the end, do grades really matter? I'd like to think not. As long as I pass and I enjoy my life in the process, I'm set. I don't see the point in making myself miserable over schoolwork when there is so much out there in this world to experience and in such a short time! Really, a lifetime isn't all that long; it's like the blink of an eye in the expanse of eternity so there's no sense in wasting the one life you have to live. Take advantage of the time God has given you on this Earth, because it's not going to last forever.

Agreed. I've had a few conversations with my friend Lindsay that while it's important to use your resources that you've been given with care (aka school), that it's more important to put your focus on God. I think I've truly learned that when you put God first and above all that everything else falls into place. He can and will take care of you if you're doing His work for Him.
I've heard amazing stories of when someone was just ther for a fellow Christian in their time of need and it happened to be right before a major exam. They were there for that friend and they passed the test with flying colors.
Not saying studying is a waste of time, but putting God first is the only way to go.
