单选题Nancy Green Even though my whole family gets up really early, I have always been a night person. I find that' s my best time to get work done. I like nighttime because everything is calm and I can just write. I feel calmer and more focused at night. There is no pressure. When I read my papers in the morning, I'm always amazed how good they sound. Brandi Baldasano I try to use all the small portions of time that I have available. I find that I can finish a lot in fifteen minutes, because I am able to concentrate for that long knowing I have only a few minutes. Those small units of time really add up over a week. Setting small goals seems to help me avoid feeling overwhelmed. I use my calendar as a guide, by writing down what school work I would like to accomplish each day to stay caught up. Galo Calos I' m the king of procrastination. I love to do everything at the last minute, and I really pay the price by being nervous and anxious. I always say I' ll stop this pattern, but then once again, I' m up all night writing the paper or studying for the test. I try to deal with it by at least starting the assignment early, doing at least a quarter or even half of it, so I don' t have to do it all the night before. Usually I do end up doing it all but I always manage to get an A or B. I guess I work well under pressure. Michael Alper As a beginning college athlete, one of my big problems was prioritizing my time and trying to balance my sport, school and friends. My big mistake was putting my sport first.

Today I have plans to go on to graduate from school and I am affected by my grades because I did not put a high enough emphasis on my classes.
