So I've been thinking...I've been studying for my Final Exams for this semester (3 last week in a row and 1 last one today), and it made me think...the kind of student (or person) that I am is a:

Last-minute procrastinator perfectionist!  haha...

What I mean by that is that I always tell myself that I am going to set aside time to study days ahead of time so that I am well-prepared for my exam, and without fail, I ALWAYS end up cramming at the last minute a few hours before the exam to study and fill my head with as much knowledge that I possibly can retain. 

It frustrates me, because I always try to be different, and a model student.  This also goes for homework and writing papers and doing projects as well, done at the last minute. 

Why is this, that I can not change, even though I make a conscious effort to?  Are we born a certain way with certain tendencies?  I know that my brothers and sister are very conscientious and organized.  And I know that it is not that I do not care about school or my grades.  It's actually the opposite--I enjoy learning and I hold my A+ average in high regards.  I will not except a low grade from myself; I hold myself and my grades to a higher standard and reach for the best. 

Then why am I still so darn last-minute??!!  It frustrates me like crazy, but I can't seem to change it.  Maybe I am not trying hard enough?  Or maybe I should not worry about it, because I get the job done and I excel under pressure?

What kind of student (or person in general) are you?  Can someone change what their natural tendencies are?  Or should they remain true to their natural ways and learn to take advantage of the positives and minimize the negatives? 

What do YOU think?

XOXO,
