I am often ridiculed as I arrive at leas t a half hour early to my first class every day. I have been like this for the past three years now, and I do not intend on stopping anytime soon. There are numerous benefits to arriving to class early (early enough to be on time for the class before yours even) that I shall go into detail. The first and most important reason is homework. Many students, of course, dread doing homework. It is in the nature of all students, college, high school, and so on, to avoid doing homework whenever possible. This is solved when you arrive to class at such an hour. This provides the opportunity to do your homework, as you find that you are sitting outside the door, with nothing to do, and have half an hour to go before class starts. You find that all you have with you is your backpack, the "external hard drive" of your academic career. If you had nothing else to do, would you not be tempted to do that one physics problem that you've been pushing off for days now? In my senior year of high school, I used this tactic endlessly. Even though was in all AP and honors courses, not once did I study, or do homework outside of school. I was able to do it all before school started. Granted, I did have a student aid class (in which I never did anything productive for the class, so I either played Halo or studied for AP's) which helped out for the AP's, but all it really takes is careful planning. Even now, as I enter college, all of my colleges comment that I never seem to have any homework to do. I suppose that they are, in reality, just jealous. I do my homework as I get it, and in some cases I am done with it before we are even let out of class for the day (DON'T LET YOUR TEACHERS KNOW IF YOU DO THIS).
The moral of the story is, wouldn't you like to get credit for doing your homework, and not actually have to do it at home?
