Will having fun make you happier than studying?

  1. No.

    At the time, you will be happier when you are having fun. But in the end, you will be happier with a good grade, after studying.

  2. Going out with your friends, laughing, having a great time will make you happy in the spur of the moment, but in the long run, studying will get you a good grade on the test which will help you get into good colleges and get a good career.

  3. No. In the long run studying will make you happier because you will get good grades which will lead to a good career and good income. You can have fun later but always make time for studying.

  5. well at the moment you will be happy.
    later it kinda just backfires...
    you will be mad at yourself that you never studied.

  6. No, Because doing things that will make you happy now will not make you happy in the long run. Sure it doesn't mean that you shouldn't have fun but you should always deal with your studies before your extra activities

  7. Nope, because the whole time I am having fun, I will be worrying about not studying and what will be the result of me not studying. There will always be another time for me to go have fun and I only have one chance to study.

  8. Yes, you should have fun all the time. If you spend all your time studying you will lack the social skills that is required in this world today. Studying will get you a long ways but not all the way. If you have fun then you will be more relaxed for the test and can think clearer.

  9. Yes..YES YES YES..because! you will be having fun and making memories but if you do good on a test you will forget that in a week but you'll keep your fun memories in your head forever... Also if your naturally smart you don't have to study that much..

  10. Yes, because having fun makes you more relaxed but if you study all the time you will be more nervous because you might not remember all you study because you focused too much on one thing and not another.

  11. Yes, because if you focus one one thing for to long you won't remember that thing as well.

  12. When you are having fun, then yes.
    But after you don't study and get bad grades, you will realize that studying is the better choice.
    Hang out for a little while, then study.

  13. It will at the moment because you are having fun with your friends, but if you don't study you will be disappointed with a bad grade, therefore studying will, in the long run, make you happier.

  14. Yes, it will at first, but in the long run you would have wished that you would have studied to get that A on that test or pass the semester tests. In the long run it would have helped you, but maybe you would have rather have been happy then.

  15. Having fun will make you happier at the moment, but studying will get you a better grade and make you happier because usually when you get a bad grade you are disappointed in yourself so studying will end up making you happier

  16. Yes, because you can relax when you have fun, but when you study you are all tense because you know that you need to learn the subject,and you want a good grade.

  17. It will make you happier for the moment. In the long run, however, studying will give you more knowledge, which can bring you happiness.

  18. Yes, because enjoying free time is more fun (for me) than studying because for me trying to learn one thing over and over again makes me forget it.

  19. Yes, it'll make you happier at the time, but you might be stressed out later, or upset because you failed a test, or missed a bunch of questions on an assignment, and even though it was fun at the time, you realize it really wasn't worth it

  22. Yes, having fun will make you happier because a grade will last a quarter, semester, or year at most, but a fun time give you a memory that will last your whole life.
