Message: <blockquote data-quote="Angcuru" data-source="post: 1447601" data-attributes="member: 10948">NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER procrastinate when you have an essay or big assignment to do.  Unless you have the ability to whip out a genius 7-10 page essay in an hour (which I am capable of and have had to do on occasion), do whatever assignments you have as soon as you can.  That way, you have free time afterwards wherein you don't have to worry about it.  Also, ALWAYS make a backup (two is better, three is gold) of any paper you are writing on your PC.  They have a tendency to become lost, deleted, etc, so it is MUCH better to be safe than to be VERY sorry.  Just this morning I went to print an essay that was due in my english class today before leaving the house, and found that it no longer existed on my hard drive.  I spent my showering, eating, and grooming time re-writing this paper like a speed demon before leaping into my car and driving as quickly as possible (within reason) to campus, and almost diving into the classroom in hopes that I would make it on time....only have the professor walk in 5 minutes later.  It just isn't worth the time, risk, or trouble.  Also, if you find 4 courses a semester to be too easy, DO take more, if financially possible.  It's better to get more done with moderate effort than to get less done in the same amount of time with little effort.  And always hold on to your syllabus. That too.  Pay attention in class.  If you pay rapt attention to what your Professor is saying, rather than lying back and looking disinterested, you will get far more out of the class than you otherwise would, and the Professor will probably be more likely to cut you some slack if you get into a bind.</blockquote>
