Procrastination

My best advice to future students is to not become a procrastinator. What does this mean? Well, don’t put things off. Once you begin to put things off such as chores and assignments it becomes virtually unfeasible to break the bad habit. For example, if you have a paper due a month from now, begin it three to four weeks prior…not 3 days before. This will always help relieve stress and you’ll probably do a more efficient job on your work as well.  When you procrastinate it becomes very overwhelming. Trust me, I would now. Ever since I began college I procrastinated and every year it seems to get worse and worse. A regular easy assignment can become the biggest, hardest, longest project ever!
