Webster’s dictionary defines Procrastination as-“To put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness.”

(Currently checking Facebook, Twitter updates, hmmm, ESPN article on why Lebron & Co. are going to crush all opponents with a business-like demeanor in route to a NBA Championship, NICE!!!)

………………..Shoot! Already off to a bad start.  For college students I believe there is no greater love/hate relationship then the art of Procrastination.  It poses the epic question of, “to do or not to do?” Well something along those lines.  Personally, my motto is to begin every semester with the determination to keep a well balanced lifestyle of work and play. 

Upon receiving my syllabi from each class that first week I start off on fire.  Grand proclamations are made that research on my paper assignments will begin right away.  Heck, for tests I may even make flash cards and study two, dare I say three days in advance!  For me, where does this wonderful agenda begin to fall apart? Do I get caught up in partying and live a life Jersey Shore members would envy?  It may not be that drastic, but what’s wrong with a night out with a few friends every now and then? 

Yes remedying your knack for procrastinating would relieve stress and create the ideal student, but who needs a perfect world. I don’t know about you but I’d rather keep living mine wonderfully chaotic.  Finals week is approaching and beautiful summer days are on the horizon. Whether your technique is all night, last minute cramming or doing diligent work throughout the semester, I’d like to wish you good luck on your upcoming finals.
