PROCRASTINATION" A4 PRINT – The Oh No Shop

    I don't think I have ever not waited until the last minute to complete an assignment. I am even procrastinating right now, as I am starting to write this blog a little more than an hour before it is due. Knowing that I am not alone in my struggle, I wonder why procrastination is such a prominent issue with many students.

One of the main reasons I start work late is because I forget about it, waiting for someone in my class to remind me right before it is due. This leaves me feeling blindsided and judged by my more proactive classmate. Another reason for this, which I don't think is my fault, is because I have other obligations, like attending soccer practice or watching The Voice. These obligations fill up my day and leave me with a small amount of time to complete my work. 

Even when I have no other obligations and am fully aware of my homework, I still find myself procrastinating. I always tell myself that I will do my work later, putting it off until I can’t anymore. Because of this, I leave myself to finish my work at the last moment, and while I almost always manage to get everything done on time, I still don’t understand why I continuously put myself through the stress that comes with procrastination. 

While procrastination creates a lot of stress, I can't see myself ever overcoming this unhealthy habit. Do you also struggle with procrastination? How has procrastination affected you?

    I struggle a lot with procrastination. I don't procrastinate for the last hour before the assignment is due, but I do say to myself everyday that I will do these few specific assignments and then get through the ones I need to get done for the next day and leave the others for another time, or for the night before they are due! I try to push myself and think of the night before when I'll be stressed out and it sometimes works to get me going and getting everything done.

    Procrastination is a huge struggle for me. For example, for this past blog post, I literally procrastinated until the last minute (11:59) to publish my blog. The worst part of procrastination for me is that I lose sleep from doing homework later. I have tried fixing the habit before, but it is very hard for me to start assignments earlier than when I have to.

    I struggle all the time with procrastination, but there is a point that I stop myself and realize I got to actually do something or get something done or i'll regret not getting it done.

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

Image
   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
