CRAMMING TIME

Is cramming really effective? What can you say about cramming? Are you a crammer? Why do you have to cram?

Well, all I can say is that I, myself, am a crammer. Like right now, writing this blog makes me a crammer because its deadline is like today. Hahaha…

Cramming is the result of procrastination, and procrastination is the result of laziness. For me, it depends on how you deal with it. It depends on how you use it and how comfortable you are doing it.

Some people prefer doing things earlier and finishing it as soon as possible. But to some crammers, they prefer doing it when it is near the deadline. It is because in this time, there is pressure and they are to do it fast. Their minds are awakened and they said that they could think and manipulate things faster. But one downside of cramming is passing a work that is not your best. Since it is “minadali”, or “hindi pinag-isipan ng mabuti”; it is not double-checked yet and is more prone to errors. But sometimes, if luck would have it, crammers get to do a masterpiece. It depends on how it is used; the important thing is it should be done perfectly, but still considering the time left to finish it.

Procrastination is the problem of the students today that leads them to cramming things. They always delay things and rely on the Filipino term, “bahala na”. Well, based on my own observation, it all comes down to us. Our own attitude towards the things we need to accomplish. Cramming is not a thing we are required to do. It’s a thing we choose to do. I don’t care if you cram or not? The important thing is you did your best, and did it perfectly the way you want it to be.
