The one word college students can all agree is in their vocabulary is procrastination. It is a blessing and a curse.
For so many years I find myself worrying about things of menial value: sports, television shows and video games. Those are the objects that make me happy. I enjoy them, so I take part in them.
The cob webs of summer have not departed from my brain here at the end of September. The easy thing to do is procrastinate, because it's fun.
The blessing side of procrastination is the ability to do whatever I want when I want to do it. If I'm tired after a long day at school and finishing statistics homework I will postpone my other homework. There's nothing like kicking back and enjoying my favorite comedy shows on television.
The cursed side of procrastination is waking up the next morning without a clue that I forgot to finish an assignment that was due that day. The taste of regret entered my mouth when I heard my instructor say, "Your blogs are due today."
I was among half the class that forgot to enter a blog post before 9 a.m. Sept. 24. I do not fear for half credit is better than no credit at all.
The curse of procrastination gave me the bad taste and feeling. The blessing of procrastination helped me realize my follie, so I can fix the problem and get back to work.
