Studying is the absolute worst, because you're never really done studying. To be done studying you have to take a test, which is a whole separate awful thing on top of studying. To make matters worse, it's still not over because you have to wait for the results. All in all, it's understandable that someone would rather the world end than have to go through all of that.
I can understand this guy's feelings. He doesn't want to study, so he's not going to do it. I respect the boldness of his life choices. Too bad he didn't check to see who was around him because his buddy was no more than eight feet away, waiting to bust him. At least now his parents will know that he's being a good boy and studying instead of wishing death upon the world.
