Good and Bad Procrastination

 Procrastination, the word that many college students understand, they do, and wish they didn't. There are forms of good procrastination and bad forms of course. For example, a bad example is putting off studying for a final until the day before the final. A good example would be, you have either the option to study for the next three days for a 3 credit mandatory course or study and get some homework done for a 1 credit course. You put off the work for the 1 credit course realizing the 3 credit course is more important to you. You study for the 3 credit course, take the final and then have 3 hours until your 1 credit course final where you also will have an assignment due, you try to get the assignment done and try to study for this final. This is good procrastination. You put off the lesser important work to do the more important work. In my opinion, every student has experienced this in at least one way or another. If you don't learn time management and how to handle all your work in the first place, this is a sole reason work can overcome you.
