Procrastination, procastination

The worst thing you could do is procrastinate (coming form a student who procrastinates all the time) when it comes to home work. If you are the time of person to work on things the last minute,  try and get out of this habit! If you don't procrastinate, keep it that way. I cannot express how much stress me and my friends have had this week because we waited until the last few days to begin our production. You want to be stress free and not have to cram a million things into your schedule. You become angry, frustrated, and eventually you fall into self-loathing because you stuck thinking "why did I wait so long!?"

Here are some tips that might help you break or keep away from this habit.

1. Set a plan for specific times to do homework while prioritizing which should be worked on first.

2. Give yourself some homework goal. Determine which assignment you want to finish by a certain time.

3. Make sure you have extra time to add-in  just in case something comes up.

4. Avoid being a perfectionist. I know you should always put the bets into your work but be sure to not go over board.

5. Most importantly, do not wait until midnight to begin your work! Begin the assignment at a reasonable time so you are able to focus and but your best work into it.

Work overloadd

School is in session and let me tell you, I am swamped. This week has been dedicated to my film production group project which requires a massive amount of time, time that I have to somehow manage 4 other classes into! Can you say stressed?I have had a hard time balancing my personal time with my school time, which should always come first, but we are all human so that "me time" to get away from the school mentality. Sounds a bit selfish but its necessary.

I was watching one of the videos from last years  production crew (students actually producing shows) and I couldn't help but feel that their video totally related  to what I was going through. They give some great tips on how to manage school and personal time, like writing deadlines to be earlier on you calendar, or app planner:), so you will be more determined to finish your assignment earlier and have free time. You want to enjoy the free time you do have cause being a college student at times can be overwhelming. Take a look at this video, created and produced by college students, and follow their great tips! Promise you won't be disappointed.
