And god said, let there be Redson.
But Redson did not come. He was in the smashboards with a rather sad announcement.
Straight to the point. I'm quitting the competitve scene of Brawl/Melee/whateverthe****youkidscallitthesedays. After this Christmas holiday, I'm done. Over. I wont touch Barwl or Melee anymore, I'm officially out. Why? you may ask me. I'll gladly (Read: Sadly) tell you.
School. My grades are piss poor this semester. I'm talking straight C's here, guys. I need to get my *** in gear; I've got my future to worry about, and Smash isn't my future by far. I can't let something I do for fun (Read: Lol ADD distractions) ruin my chances of getting into a good college.
Please, don't tell me I should manage my time better, because I can't. I've tried, but as long as there is the presence of a computer/wii/ds, I will constantly be distracted from my studies. I've tried to amend this, but I simply can't. I used to be able to absorb information like a sponge, but over time, I've had to learn so much more, and I can't learn like that anymore. I came to the only rational conclusion I can: Time to bear down and study for once. Even if it means giving away what I love most, my videogames.
I'm actually already behind in school. I'm a Junior who's taking two sophomore classes: Geometry and Biology. I'll have to take summer courses just to catch up again. I'm even taking a freshman class, Spanish I, because I failed out of Latin. I'm so behind, it hurts me to realize that the odds of me getting TOPS are very low. My parents don't plan on paying for college, so I'm responsible for everything I do.
Lets not forget my parents, who are pressuring me into keeping up with my studies. I just can't accept Brawl as a past-time anymore. I've got to focus on one thing, or I won't get anywhere in life. I cant earn a living playing Brawl, and quite honestly, it would probably help me socially too if I broke off the whole Brawl thing for a while. I seclude myself in my room playing this ******** game, leaving opportunities to hang out with real people (Not CPU's) and have fun with my life.
So...yeah...Don't expect to see me much after the holidays. I'mma miss ya'll goons.
