Procrastination typically involves watching television or playing Rock Band instead of doing homework, but some NSU students find more productive things to do while they put off working on major assignments.
Sophomore health and human performance major Brittany Gunner said she thinks procrastination can be positive.
Gunner said she puts off writing papers until the last minute, though many teachers give due dates for their assignments on the syllabus during the first day of class.
"For me, it's a good thing, because when I'm pressured to do something, I do it. At the last minute, when the pressure's on, I'm good at it," Gunner said.
Some students seek the adrenaline rush associated with a final deadline.
To achieve that last-chance excitement, students occasionally work on projects for extracurricular organizations or academic requirements.
