5 ~ Rush Rush Rush!

The midterm is almost over and everyone's rushing - including me! This is not a good thing, by the way, but it certainly leaves me with a deep impression: never ever cram!!!

Cramming, it's the messiah and Satan of every student everywhere since the dawn of time. Cramming is when you leave your work undone until the very last second, before panicking and hitting the books or computers or whatever in a vain attempt to complete your requirements.

Sometimes it works, most times, it doesn't, and at all times, cramming is very, very stressful. Usually, the work you create while cramming turns out to be utter cow-dung, so all your efforts were a waste in the first place, making the whole thing even worse.

A little work goes a long way when it comes to things like this. There was a saying, 'an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure'; a phrase that is self-explanatory, but I shall explain it anyway, but in the context of work - a little work, bit by bit, is better than a sudden, large amount of work! It's easier, less stressful, and over all the better choice, but for some reason we rarely choose it.

Anyway, that's about it. No cramming now people!
