As I grew into the role of a young adult, I experimented and arranged school and/of work to be later in the day. Why not, especially as a “lazy” student, right?

As I grew into the role of a young adult, I experimented and arranged school and/of work to be later in the day. Why not, especially as a “lazy” student, right? Funny enough, the quality of my work increased and I got better grades. I thought more critically in class and clearly when on the job. I didn’t need caffeine to function when I awoke or have to manage screen time before bed. I became a more productive person like the early birds, but in my own fashion. It can be hard to read comments like this that paint the picture as learned helplessness, especially when it feels like honestly playing to one’s strengths.
