PROCRASTINATION One of my most crippling downfalls in the accomplishment of my school work is procras- tination. This habitual post- ponement of work also decreases the extent of my achievement along several other lines. Wobster's Seventhi'few Col- legiate Dictionary asserts that to procrastinate is to put off fr to delay intention- ally and reprehensibly the do- ing of samething that should be done. I‘m sure that every student can recall numerous times of loitering in study halls resulting in cither stay- ing up all hours cf the night to study or not getting their lessons done. Procrastination is also injurious in that is often deprives a person of leisure time and recreation. And as civics students have leamod, recreation is essen- tial in a well rounded daily routine. I think that college bound students should be nost anncom- ed with this pitfall. The freshman year at college Is said to be the most difficult because it presents such an alarming change from high school methods f study. In college a person must eithor accept the responsibility of perform- ing his scholastic duties or ho may prefer to choose the other alternative of goofing off and flunking out. Attend- ency to procrastinate just might compel him to take the latter choice. When I think of some sf America's famous men such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, or Abe Lincoln, I can't conceive that they, too, might have possessed this very human trait. Such great people 2. muat have surely overcome this character fault. Take, for instanco,Lincoln,who allegedly worked long hard hours in the field and then spent ovory other spero voment reading or scheming to get hold of a new bock. I can cnly assume that his natural curiosity and hunger for knowledge so far outweighed his desire to sit and gaze that procrastination was never a problem. I think that each and avory one of us should try to prepogato within himself a type of curiosity or intorost whether it be in treeding frogs or making paperr.iache' jewelry. Any constructivo cr knowledge able pastime is hotter than sitting and worrying all cur precious time away. Brenda Gato3 '70 xxxxxxxxxx SCHOOL IS YOURS What has school g£von you?
