To Be Achieved in 2016 by Allison - January 2016 Scholarship Essay

College is filled with many opportunities to get involved. With classes, extra-curricular activities, work, and more, it is easy to have times when you feel like you'll never be able to get everything done. As the new year and semester starts, I've been thinking about what I can do to better myself as a student and prepare myself for handling the responsibilities that come my way this semester and beyond. My new year's resolution is to stop procrastinating.
Procrastination is an awful habit that can cause you to experience more stress than you should have to. It involves waiting until the last minute to complete a task. Unfortunately, I did this with several assignments/papers last semester. This caused me to experience high levels of stress, as mentioned before. It also may have caused my grade on a certain assignment/paper to not be as good as it could have been.
This is the year that I can break this terrible habit and become the best student that I can be. I can't wait to see the impact that getting things done ahead of time has in all areas of my life, but especially in my school work. I'm making this a procrastination-free 2016.
