So I know that since this blog is for those currently, or considering attending UF, most of you are probably on your game when it comes to school work and whatnot, and that NONE of you have fallen into the nasty habit of procrastinating. At least that's my hope.
But maybe you contracted that age-old case of senioritis (or are still recovering from last year's bout), and it's ok! It happens to the best of us! But now that you're in college, you really should turn over a new leaf.
It is true that in college, there isn't anyone there to nag you about your homework or lean on you about a project due tomorrow that you haven't started, or anything like that, unless you have awesome (or wierd) roommates. So it's up to YOU!
Now, I know that "online lectures" may sound like "Oh I'm pretty busy now (on Facebook, perhaps), but I'll definately catch up on the 17 I've missed later!" But that's not true. And you probably won't... unless you spend four days doing nothing but Stat, watching 10X the normal speed with no breaks in between. Or have super reading/comprehending/memorizing/ staying awake powers.
Take away advice: 1. Kick the habit. 2. Start work as early as possible. 3. Come to realize you are not Superman. 4. If you do find yourself wondering where the time went when a seven page paper is due in two days, don't freak out! Relax. Take deep breaths. It will all work out in the end. :)
And now I'll leave with a wonderfully de-stressing resource. Not to be used as procrastination, of course...
