You're in luck, I had the same 'problem' when I was in high-school. Problem is, I never got bad grades, it didn't matter that I did not study. For my exames, I only studied math for 30 minutes, and barely opened my books for other subjects (or not at all) and I still got A's and B's. It's biting my ass in college now though: I can't work, I never learned to work, I'm not used to do something. My confidence also suffered, since I don't see anything I did before as an achievement.Skeleon said:Pride.
I tend to have good grades and get overly confident.
That makes me study less than I actually should, until I get a bad grade which puts me back in my place.
I know of this problem, obviously, but that doesn't stop me from behaving this way.

I'm pretty sure avarice is just the Latin word for greed.ace_of_something said:Avarice for several reasonsLeorex said:Out of the 7 deadly sins what will most likely be your downfall?
Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, or Pride?
1) No one else has picked it
2) You put 'greed' down instead and I'm nothing if not a nitpicker. There is a difference between the two because it's not on every internet list of the seven deadly sins because most people don't like the word.
Avarice was in the game Afterlife so I think it's supposed to be on there instead of greed. As (think Simcity except you manage heaven and hell)
Anywho. Avarice is basically hording wealth and power just for the sake of having it and not doing anything with it. Kind of like being a cheap bastard. Greed is just wanting lots of stuff which falls under envy.
I definitely horde my money and refuse to spend it even when I don?t need to. Just the other day I got in an argument with my lady on how I felt it was unnecessary to plant flowers in the flowerbed outside our house and that it was too expensive. I lost.
Why even bother posting here? Everyone has their beleif's and opinion's. And it's not your place to dismiss them,if you can't respect what other people have to say, then please go sit down somewhere and refrain from talking yourself any deeper.jasoncyrus said:Well since theres no such thing as "Sin" since its an invented term. I'm gonna go with none of them. My downfall will most likel be a nuclear weapon launched by either th US or russia/china/iran.
