What I do for a living (so far) is watching TV, running, going to PMS, gaming, and watching 99th VR play Job Simulator.

What I typed above is supposed to be here, but I am too lazy to move it down here. So, I am typing this paragraph so I can be done—I hope.............

Rick’s Answer

Cameron,

Imagine life as an hourglass. Right now, there's a lot of sand at the top, but it's slowly slipping away. Once it reaches the bottom, you can't get it back.

I once heard a quote that stuck with me: "There are those who talk and those who do. Talkers create illusions; doers create reality." It's time to start shaping your own reality. Remember, video games aren't the real world.

As someone who's been in sales for a long time, I truly believe everyone has something they're brilliant at. The key is to be willing to put in the effort to discover it.

To find your brilliance, try getting a job—any job. You'll quickly learn what you enjoy and what you don't. Then, seek another job that has more of what you love and less of what you don't. Keep doing this until you find work that excites you, feels natural, and that you truly love. That's when you'll discover your brilliance. Life will become great and exciting.

Good luck, young man!

Alright, Cameron, hey!
first off, props for keeping it real with that "too lazy to move it" energy. You’re speaking for all of us. 😁 But hey, since you asked, let’s dive into your epic TV-watching, running, PMS-going, and gaming lifestyle and see how to sprinkle some career magic on it.

Dodick is onto something, if you’re spending hours gaming (or watching others game), why not flip that passion into a skill? Game design is dope, but if that’s too techy, content creation (like streaming or YouTube) could be your jam. People literally make a living by sharing their gaming lives—why not you?
You can Start small. Record some gameplay, mess around with basic video editing (hello, CapCut), and throw it up on YouTube or TikTok. You don’t have to be the next PewDiePie—just find your vibe and go for it. 😉

Remember life Is Like an Hourglass… But Chill.
Rick hit you with that deep metaphor, respect. Time’s ticking, but you don’t need to have life figured out tomorrow. What you do need is curiosity. Try new stuff. Even if you’re all-in on gaming now, test the waters with part-time gigs, volunteer work, or internships. You never know—your dream career might be hiding in something totally unexpected. Over time your passion will start taking over and that gaming might either stay the passion or flow away. My brothe was the same always entertainment wathhing, ajime, TV, movies, and games but then he started to get bored, this wasn't what he wanted, so he began making games and going for tech.

Make a list of random things that sound cool (graphic design? personal training? drone racing?) and find a way to dip your toes in. You can learn basically anything for free on YouTube or through online platforms like Coursera.

Cameron, your Lazy Genius Energy Is a Strength.
You’re funny, and humor is a weapon in the real world. Ever thought about marketing, social media management, or copywriting? These fields LOVE people who know how to capture attention with a quirky, authentic voice. Your "lazy" charm could be exactly what brands are looking for.

Create a silly but smart LinkedIn profile (yeah, it’s not as boring as it sounds) and start showcasing your personality. Post your takes on the latest games, entertainment trends, or whatever you're obsessed with.

PMS—The Mystery, um for me! 👀🤔
I gotta ask—what’s PMS? Personal Motivation Society? Pizza-Movie Saturdays? 😜 Well, Whatever it is, if it’s something you’re consistent with, that’s a skill. Don't you think!

Frame it as experience. Seriously. "Organized and participated in regular community-building activities to foster teamwork and engagement." Boom—résumé gold.

You don’t need to have a 10-year plan; you just need momentum. Try stuff. Fail. Laugh about it. Repeat. The career you’ll love is out there—it’s just waiting for you to stumble into it while living your best life.

You’ve got this, Cameron—now go forth and make the world your playground and have fun too. All the best and good luck! 😉🤗

Dr recommends the following next steps:

Explore Gaming Careers – Start recording, editing, and sharing your content.
Get Curious – Test new hobbies or side gigs and see what clicks
Use Your Humor – Social media, marketing, or content creation loves funny people.
Frame Everything as Experience – Even your random interests can be résumé-worthy.
Just Do Stuff – The perfect path reveals itself while you’re moving, not standing still.

Dodick’s Answer

If you enjoy playing games, you might also have fun exploring game development. You can try out beginner-friendly tools like Unity or Godot to see how games are made behind the scenes—it’s pretty cool to learn how your favorite games come to life!

If the technical side of game development feels a bit overwhelming, but you’re still passionate about gaming, why not consider streaming or creating content? It’s a great way to share your experiences, connect with other gamers, and even build a community around the games you love. Who knows? It might turn into something big!

eva’s Answer

Living a passive lifestyle filled with excessive TV watching, gaming, and avoiding responsibilities may seem comfortable in the short term, but in reality, it can lead to serious consequences. Whether someone is too lazy to change or simply unaware of the risks, such a lifestyle negatively impacts physical health, mental well-being, and financial independence. While people have the right to live on their own terms, this freedom comes with the responsibility of being self-sufficient. If a person is financially independent and chooses to live an unproductive life, that is their choice. However, if they rely on others for shelter and basic needs, they are not just lazy but also selfish, expecting others to work hard while they do nothing.
A sedentary lifestyle poses significant health risks, many of which develop gradually but have long-term consequences. One of the most common outcomes is obesity, which results from minimal physical activity combined with excessive consumption of unhealthy food. This, in turn, increases the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and joint problems due to excess weight. Furthermore, sitting for prolonged hours, whether gaming or watching TV, can lead to muscle atrophy and poor posture, causing chronic back and neck pain.
Additionally, irregular sleep patterns due to excessive screen time can result in sleep disorders, affecting energy levels and cognitive function. People who engage in passive entertainment for long hours often suffer from fatigue, weakened immune systems, and decreased physical endurance. Over time, these health issues create a cycle of further inactivity, making it even harder to break out of unhealthy habits.
Beyond physical health, a passive lifestyle also has severe psychological consequences. Depression and anxiety are common among individuals who lack a sense of purpose or achievement in their daily lives. Engaging in low-effort entertainment such as binge-watching TV or excessive gaming provides temporary pleasure but does not offer long-term fulfillment. Eventually, the mind craves real challenges and accomplishments, and without them, feelings of worthlessness and dissatisfaction begin to take over.
Additionally, the absence of mental stimulation can lead to cognitive decline. Passive entertainment does not require deep thinking, problem-solving, or creativity. Over time, the brain becomes accustomed to minimal effort, making it difficult to concentrate, learn new skills, or engage in meaningful conversations. Furthermore, excessive time spent in virtual worlds often leads to social withdrawal, making it harder to maintain real-life relationships or develop essential communication skills.
Perhaps the most significant issue is the financial and social consequences of this lifestyle. The key question to ask is: Are you financially independent? If someone has a stable income and pays for their own expenses, they have the right to live however they choose. However, if they rely on their parents, siblings, or friends for housing and financial support, their passive lifestyle is not just irresponsible but also deeply unfair. Expecting others to work hard while refusing to contribute is not just laziness; it is selfishness.
Every adult is responsible for earning their own living and contributing to society in some way. Those who refuse to take responsibility risk becoming a burden on their families and communities. Financial dependency combined with an unproductive lifestyle is not sustainable, and eventually, the support system that allows such behavior may collapse, leaving the individual unprepared for real-world challenges.

The reality is harsh but simple, doing nothing leads to nothing. A passive lifestyle results in declining health, mental stagnation, and financial dependence. While you may justify your choices as personal freedom, true freedom only comes when you are self-sufficient. If you chooses to live without working, learning, or contributing, you must at least ensure you are not relying on others to support you. Otherwise, you are not just lazy but also taking advantage of the hard work of others.
Change is necessary, and it starts with small steps, seeking employment, engaging in physical activity, or learning a new skill. A fulfilling life requires effort, and those who refuse to put in that effort risk wasting their potential. The world does not owe anyone an easy life, and sooner or later, reality will catch up with those who refuse to take responsibility for themselves.

Hi, thank you for your question. You need to establish a schedule and commit to follow it. Firstly, find a time management tool to help, eg Google Calendar, MS Outlook, phone calendar, etc
Below are my suggestions:
1. Put down the time you need to attend classes
2. Assign some time every day on assignment and projects. Review the material covered in the class on the day.
3. Make sure you have enough time to sleep and do some exercise
4. Allocate some time for leisure and friends & family gathering
5. You need to allocate more time for revision before assessment
Hope this helps! Good luck!
May Almighty God bless you!
