Teachers and parents constantly remind students not to procrastinate.

What does it really mean or look like?

“ I’m really bad with procrastinating so last semester I just put things aside,” freshman Trinity Chapman said.

Some students would say that they get distracted from doing school work due to being on social media or being on their phones.

Even with extra time in class some students may choose to socialize with other or listen to music rather then getting their work done.

“It’s all about knowing what matters and what’s not. I just put the extra away and focus on what’s important,” sophomore Makiyah Mcdaniel said.

Some administrators believe that prioritizing can help against procrastination.

“Otherwise you loose track of what assignments are due when and your timelines and when your test are,” assistant principal Michelle Zurek said.

Many teachers help students with being more prepared by handing out calendars with upcoming assignments or having student sign up for Remind 101.

“My freshman I’m encouraging them to start good habits early…use the calendar I give during class. I do my best to write those things on the board,” English teacher Michael Burwell said.

By following these steps of staying on task and turning work in on time many students may think this will prepare them for the future.

“I’m trying to get into a good college so if I don’t manage my time and keep track of time in school and dance and separate the two then I can get caught up,” sophomore Trinity Chapman said.
