Our school is very well known for being so prestigious and for sending the most well-prepared students to college. It's actually really strange how this happens. Everyone is always procrastinating, but everyone says that our school teaches us how to manage our time. My hypothesis is that we just learn how to procrastinate better.
From experience, we were given countless assignments from the time we were young. On top of that, we learned to balance extracurriculars like sports, music, etc. It's ridiculous to think that we had so much on our plates. So, obviously, growing up, our study habits were not as sharp as they should have been. Because of all that was piled on us, we never had as much time as we wanted, so naturally, we picked up this habit of procrastination. As we grew up and started middle school, we continued our similar study habits. I can vividly remember staying up past midnight to work on our 7th grade science project.
As we continue through high school, we learn to procrastinate better. We are able to study for our finals in only a few hours, we can write adequate papers the night before, and cram our homework into half hour breaks. That is why we are prepared for college, not because we have excellent study habits, but because we excell at the art of procrastination.
