I mean that is TOTALLY absurd! Why would people who have been in educational institutions for more than half their life still leave things to the last minute, when they know (from past experiance) how much stress (mental and physical) it causes. Silly really; who makes up such things?
In my case it may appear that I leave things to last minute, but actually Im preparing myself for rough and tough real world out there - yes, after tertiary education people get jobs and start contributing to society. (Note: Puking in road, does not count as contribution to society)
Well lets get real here, none of us (students) are really oblivious to the 'real world', we all know its out there and know that someday we will all have to leave our comfort zone and go and join it. And in this real world, how often are you are actually given ong periods of time to go and study or research topics/tasks - the answer; very rarely. People are briefed on what they must do and how to do it once, they are then expected to go and do the job.
So by me not studying many days before a test or examination, I am not showing laziness I am showing initiative, I mean if I can't pass a test with only one nights worth of work than a big help I'm gonna be in the workplace.
So there, theory dismissed. I am actually revolutionising the way firms should select new employees - I personally like the way some firms do not request CV's or references and rather have the prospective canidate fill out a single application form.
