Procrastination!

Jasmine Blain Procrastination is defined to be the act of postponing, delaying, or putting off, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness. When students reach college, procrastination extremely increases and might even reach it's peak. This habit is by far the worst habit to have, if you don't want to fail.

Students in college become procrastinators because they either don't want to do the work or they simply don't know how to manage their time wisely. They put off important papers and homework to hangout, party, chill with friends, or the just sit around and get distracted over the little things. According to Eward Young, " Procrastination can come from low self-confidence, being to busy, stubbornness, manipulation, or just being frustrated." For example, most students don't intentionally mean to procrastinate, it is just that they get side- tracked from time and don't realize that time cant be wasted. then when the student realizes that the time they have left, it is most likely too late to finish the assignment. If there is time, the student must have to rush through the assignment to complete it, and its always best to DOUBLE CHECK your work, especially papers.

The positive thing about procrastination is that it can be conquered. You can simply overcome procrastination by having a "peace of mind, a feeling of strength and purpose, and healthy feeling of being in charge of your life." I personally believe that if you are determined to get good grades in college, do everything positive, and as long as you stay on top, then you wont procrastinate.

We all know it is very difficult not to procrastinate. When you come to college you expect to live your life, meaning have fun and do things on your time. Well you can also not procrastinate and be able to have fun and do your own thing. You just have to manage your time and get help if you need it. But actually if remind yourself that if you finish the task now, then you will be able to have fun later. You will really be surprised how much work gets done and how successful you will become in life if you don't procrastinate. Basically, do everything you are suppose to do and DON'T PROCRASTINATE!!
