student syndrome.

Este es un texto que hice para una clase de inglés en la universidad:

 

Has
this ever happened to you? You have to do a big project for a class
but, somehow, you ended up watching television, talking to friends or
doing something completely unrelated to your homework. Do you wait
until the last possible moment to do a task? If you answered “yes”, then you are suffering the student syndrome.

 

Lack
of motivation, boredom, annoyance, the existence of distractions,
stress and even perfectionism are some of the causes of the student
syndrome. All these leads to a waste of time, guilt, fatigue, and after
all more stress. In brief, the student syndrome is a temporal and dumb
way to avoid responsibilities.

 

However,
it is possible to overcome this condition. First of all, you have to
calm down, then you may try planning your activities and being more
organized setting deadlines to yourself; if you have lost your
motivation, you can remember why you are doing what you are doing in the
first place; and finally you have to avoid your possible distracters,
like games, television, being connected to a chat room, or your cell
phone.  

 

Another great help is having this Thomas Jefferson’s sentence in mind: “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today”
