Hey hey hey! Can you tell I am excited that it is finally friday? Because I am! I am also excited about the fact that I will not have to do my speech until next friday! I am not excited about the homework that awaits me; but come what may, right?
I was talking with a few of my classmates the other day and we came to somewhat of a consensus:
Have you ever had to read a book and you are thinking to yourself, "Oh, I'll just use spark notes"? Well, that is an okay idea and (to tell you the truth), I am on sparknotes anytime that I have an assigned reading in hand. HOWEVER, I do not use sparknotes as my only resource. If used as a SUPPLEMENT to the actual book, it can be quite helpful to refresh your mind on what you read a couple days (or weeks) ago and help point out key ideas or aid in your understanding. Please don't use sparknotes as your only resource; you will miss out on a bunch of stuff. It might have worked for you in high school; but it shouldn't work for you in college. Unless, of course, you wait until the day before your assignment is due or the test is to be given...then, I guess it's your only option! You rebel!
