Just a little question, did(or does) anypony become overcome with homework so much, you became deprived with sleep? Well, that's exactly what happened to me. Those assignments came from TWO classes, Algebra and Social Studies, and the bad thing is...Its due tomorrow...now I gotta get a cup of coffee with a whole bunch of sugar to keep me going without me crashing! Now...time to listen to three songs that will keep me up, Twilight Goose, Brony Heaven, and the wonderful wonderful WONDERFUL song...Super Ponybeat(Dream Mode)...well, time to do my assignments. See you guys when I finish...in like...1 hour...1-5 hours cause I wanna write a story, quite possibly a fanfiction about a pony...anyway, now its bye(For now)

No. There are many brilliant ways around doing homework. I haven't done homework since I was in junior high school. Made it through high school fine and got into a good college. Then again, I have a near professional knack for this thing. Usually, the people who don't do homework are people who look and act like they don't do homework, so it becomes a problem for them. If you don't want to do homework, you should start to understand that nearly all homework is a psychological test and usually of zero actual importance or general knowledge and ultimately amounts to an ink mark in a book that no real people care about. If you can test well, you don't need to do homework. It wouldn't take a whole year to go through a high school textbook (half-flanked, I might add) that anyone could comprehend in a couple weeks if they cared about it. Once you understand this, and start acting like an intelligent person and participate in class and butter up your teachers with phony interest in their silly pie-in-the-sky pet causes and whatever, you can literally go through an entire term without doing any real work. This is the Manehattanite-proven method. Then again, this won't work if you don't take tests well and generally have adopted the modern public school condition of "I'm totally helpless and have zero interest in learning, please boil this down to a mnemonic device for me to memorize for the government's test." Scratch that. That person wouldn't know the word "mnemonic".
May I mention that the social studies is graded? Cause it is...and I'm not in college...WAY off by 6 years...
I'd try and cut down on distractions. Stay away from the computer, and be careful about music- while it keeps me happier, it lowers my efficiency A TON. If it's a necessity, it's a necessity, though. Do what you have to. By the way, this is me trying to do my homework right now. And failing. XD
Sure. It doesn't have to be. It's freaking social studies. If you can't already BS your way through a course called social studies, college is going to be difficult for you. Middle school and high school is about learning how to learn. That's why you are wasting your time with this mythological thing called social studies instead of a real area of study. Do you spend a lot of time learning things on your own time? That's the most important, really. I understood this much. If you're not even in high school, meaning none of this stuff will even end up on your college transcript (except for advanced courses maybe), then it is extra silly wasting so much time on it. Get the C or the B and be done with it. There are so many more important things you should be devoting your time too besides school work, and no, ponies aren't one of them. There are too many absolutely clueless/helpless people in college these days and they're surprised that they aren't appealing candidates for employment. Don't be one of those people.
lol, its funny how they think its college immediately. college, if anything, has the least amount of homework. and i know how you feel attitude, i have a visual basics class and i have to make a huge code in a 3 week period. I've been working on it from night to day trying to get it right. *bro hoof* we ponies need to stick together! if you need any help with that homework, or any problems what so ever, just let me know! contact me on Skype @ nbunomad, or pm me in everypony.
I usually do quick work and ignore the tedious, yet pointless work. Most of my homework in junior high was fairly easy, even the entire year of painstaking writing prompts my English teacher buried the class with. (lolwriting) High school was a different story. My World History/Civics & Economics classes were a breeze, though the end of Civics (more like US History) ended with packets that were due by the end of the week. I would complete worksheets, but never bother myself with doing graphs. I completely aced the midterm exam and the final, so my grades didn't suffer for it. Unfortunately, I cannot help you with algebra. That's my weakest subject and a lot of it stems from not desiring higher learning in it and abandoning its purpose to pointlessness. When the equations we studied became completely devoid of actual numbers, I stopped caring (Algebra II). Like Twilight Sparkle, being organized helps the most. The less work it looks like, the less it actually is.
This happens sometimes, I became so focused and my eyelids can't handle it, I just let my head to the desk and sleep. I hate this, makes more homework.
...I probably don't have much useful things to say about this seeing as that I have HUGE loads of homework accumulated from my slacking off... (reason why I don't get internet except on weekends now... D Still, Social Studies should be enjoyable... For me, I found that reading it (textbooks) like I would a novel, was the best way- and not as homework either, but as a hobby... ...math, is a completely different story, seeing as that it basically requires a fair amount of practice and memorizing some concepts.... something I seriously slacked off on this year. D: But overall, from what I understand most people focus best for around 30 minutes (possibly less in my case :derpe ...so, basically, it's best to take a break every now and then. ...I might as well state that sleep deprivation/coffee is the worst possible thing when in your situation... (because I would know... :derpe I might be being a bit hypocritical though, seeing as that I'm often half asleep to begin with.
Sleep? What is this sleep you speak of? Oh... that stuff... Yeah... Well, here's my guide to homework : If you understand it, and can do the question fast, don't do it. If you CAN'T, then do multiple questions untill you can Then proceed to get 90%s in everything.
This happened to me kinda... (Not Really.) The best way to cure it is to just not go to the EPR daily, and just chill on the forums. -Post. -Do your work. -Wait for someone to reply. -Repeat. Cured my Insomnia for when my college actually started, had to get rid of the habit after summer vacation. ...but this happens to everyone.
I see that someone is having a tough time in their social studies class. Fun fact. I do not take history in my high school right now.
