Characters Who Inspire Us to Study
Lacking motivation? Here are TV/movie characters who inspire us to well, turn off the TV and movies, and hit the books.
Hermione Granger
Need I say more? Hermione is the poster girl for NERD. She makes studying seem like a fun game. Remember, every time you get an answer right, it's 10 points for Gryffindor!
Rory Gilmore
Though she's my least favorite TV character, I have to say, she really is quite the student. You can't help but want to root for her when she first gets a D at Chilton, but then rises to the top with flying colors and lots of As. If only studying were that fun and easy in real life.
Elle Woods
Like Rory Gilmore, she starts out as the underdog. At least her pink study gear looks cute.
Jenny Mellor
The An Education protagonist starts out like most of us. She'd rather be listening to jazz, traveling to Paris and living the good life than study. That's when she almost has sex with a 38-year-old man (she's 16) that she realizes she's “too clever” to live life as a fraud (her said 38-year-old boyfriend (more like manfriend) steals paintings for a living). She then decides to study her ass off and gets rewarded with the idyllic lifestyle at Oxford.
Anna Kendrick (do we really care about the character's name?)
In Up in the Air, Anna plays the top graduating student from an Ivy League school. While everyone's losing jobs in the 2008 recession, Kendrick is up and going, set to have “a corner office by 23.” Yet her perfectionist attitude might be a little...neurotic.
So that's it! Study away my friends. Hopefully these characters provide us with much motivation to power through the final stretch (or probably not). And oh, I guess I should stop writing this blog and start studying for finals. D:
That is all.
