Procastination

Almost all students at any level of schooling, including me, wait until the night before to start our homework or start studying for a test. Just an example, I had a five page paper with a works cited page due Wednesday and I did not start it until 7 pm the night before.  I have a big math test tomorrow and I have not started studying yet.  Life is so much easier if one spreads their homework out over a few days but we just have the natural tendency to be lazy and do it in the last second.  The thing is, procrastination does not work as well in college as it does in high school.  In high school, I rarely studied for tests but when I did, I studied for ten minutes before the class. I am starting to learn that procrastinating is not going to work in college.  If I and everyone in this class wants to be successful and graduate form college, we are going to need to learn to do our homework over an extended period of time; not a couple hours before the class.
