Cramming again? Stressed and stressing everyone around you? What about the quality of the assignment? Many of us in middle school to high school begin a bad habit of cramming.

what is cramming? Doing assignments, homework or/and projects in the last minute. This habit is not very good. It causes many issues.

• Keeps us up until late at night.
• Produce mediocre quality of work or assignment
• Stressed and angry at people around you especially your parents and siblings

I believe that if you cram your work, your work might not be the best quality, and you could probably do much better if you had done it in advance. Craming is a big problem because you first, quality of the work could of been much better quality, secondly, it stresses you out and makes everything harder. My experience with craming is when I had a math project that I started three weeks before it was due. When I showed it to my parents, they said it was not great at all. For two more weeks we ignored the situation and we thought, oh my project is due this week! So I made corrections and the corrections were not good enough, so my mom made a whole new presentation that I could potentially use. When I came back from school the day before the project was due I decided I didn’t like it. So we decided to make a whole new project with the same information. As soon as we finished, I pressed play slide show…… and the whole project deleted. I was extremely upset. I did not know what to do, so I started making the cupcakes I had to make to go along with this project. Everyone was so stressed and although I got the project done and I got a good grade, our feelings were hurt and we were done at 11:30pm. In addition to this, I missed gymnastics and my free time. This was an awful experience for my mom and I. However, this taught me that I should always start at least three weeks before and continue to remember to work on it. When you do any project always make a folder with all the research, photos, and documents. This helps you get organized and not waste so much time on searching for pieces on your desktop as you go along. A solution to this issue is to start in advance and remember what you need to do to be efficient. Remember although I got a good grade on this project at school, at home my whole experience with projects changed.
