Stress

Well, finals are around the corner. Traditionally, these last weeks and days are known as stressful and hectic. I think, however, that much of the stress is artificially created. Now, of course, this is not necessarily true for everyone. There are many students who do have significant amounts of studying because their finals are difficult, or maybe a lot of homework that needs to get done on the last week of class.

I think that many of us could have a much reduced amount of stress if we didn't procrastinate so much though. It's true for myself, and no doubt true for many others. I have a bad habit of putting off stuff until the absolute last second. So during the last weeks of the semester I often have a disproportionate amount of work that needs done. I've started working ahead on many things, because I realized it'll make my life a lot easier, even if it means I have to work more often. It reduces my stress, and makes sure I have plenty of time to get things done.
