Now that 2011 is over and behind us its time to start fresh in this new year. Usually I don't make resolutions because I would need a lot of motivation to keep them up throughout the year. However, this year I have decided to make a resolution for this new semester. Last semester I struggled mostly with procrastination and waiting until the very last minute to do some of the smaller assignments and quizzes. This year I would like to really try to keep up this goal and hopefully I will.
Although last semester I was pleased with my work for the most part, I think I could do better. Without procrastinating I will have more time to work on assignments which will probably increase the quality of the work. I think this is a perfect goal because It could help me in every class especially science and english.
That sounds like a great goal Olivia! I think that procrastination gets to all of us sometimes, and it makes us not give our best effort. But this is a great goal that i think a lot of us could have for this new year. It will most likely be a challange, but I think that you (and others) can do it.
ReplyDeleteProcrastination is my weakness. I always procrastinate studying for tests and doing homework at night and then it makes me really stressed out. If I never procrastinated, I could get things done a lot easier. I think I should work towards the goal of not procrastinating as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good goal, Olivia, and a topic we should address in class a bit, I think, since it seems to be something that a number of students struggle with. I have some good tricks, and I think your fellow students may have some good ideas, too.
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem, and I'm sure so many other students did as well. I have always been the last-minute kind of person. I just put it off then put it off some more which is a horrible habit, especially now that I'm in high school. Hopefully common sense will kick in sooner or later and I'll realize I need to do things as best I can and take advantage of every opportunity.
ReplyDeleteolivia, i had the same exact problem and i did not do very well in last semester. Im really going to try to step up my game and stay on top of things now on.
