I'm sure all my friends in college know what a deadliner means even most of them are the deadliners itself including me UpzzZ hehe. So what is the deadliner? Deadliner is one who
procrastinates until the actual deadline of task or project. Let me tell you about it based on my experience with
some my friends as well. As we know that students in this type often do the task at the
last minutes such as a day before the deadline or several hours before the
time. Here are the
general reasons why someone becomes a deadliner:
1. Duration of submitted is still long. The long distance
of deadline make students enjoy the time for doing another activities such as
playing game, using social media (FB, BBM, WhatsApp, Instagram, LINE and others
social media), sleeping beauty for a while, walking around the environment with
friends and watching movie especially korean and malaysian movie for the women.
Not only that, some students underestimate the assignment because they think
that the assignment is easy so that it can be finished in a short time.
2. Depending on the mood. Motivation
can influence student’s mood, the examples is when students in wifi area with
the connection they can access the materials and the topic of assignment is
interesting. In the other word, if student in good mood or having spirit, it will support them to do the assignment
immediately. Otherwise, if they in bad mood or lazy the assignment will be procrastinated.
3. Extra dozen assignments. Every lecturer
give a lot of assignments and students getting tired or confused to finish all
at the same time. In that case, the students choose which one the urgent
assignment or maybe the easy one. Finally the other assignment will be delay
and could be done in a day before deadline.
4. Having the power of kepepet. Almost every college students has experienced on it. The term
is commonly used in my unit. We believe that in an urgency state the whole idea will arise and the assignment can be
done in a short time, it a little bit sounds like a magic. That is what we
call the power of kepepet. hihihi :D
Although most of the
deadliner can finish the assignment, some deadliners can not finish it at the time. So, they do not get score of the assignment. Actually, deadliner can not do the assignment maximally because they do in hurry and panic. If students
have done it faster with a good preparation so the result will be better. This is also advice for myself as a deadliner. I just
like a quote from Courtney Summers “...a deadline should not prevent you from writing, but
writing will help prevent you from missing your deadline. Then write a word.
Then remind yourself of that again. And then write another and hey, look at you!
Yo’re spitting in that deadline’s eye.”
In
last, we need to considere that doing assignments in last minutes as the
deadliner is bad type of students. Even the deadliners realize it, they still do
it. okay guys,, May we all become
better people in doing everythings on time.
Hope we learn together to finish all assignments... try to be an on time one, we all!
