I have a really bad habit of spontaneity, which causes me to blindly rush into anything I do. I rarely plan things out and I like to call people at 2 in the morning to hang out. I used to think it was a good characteristic and I was proud to be that way but sometimes I really regret my inability to plan.
A lot of people in college keep telling me to stop rushing into things. They say I may be eager to learn but in all honesty, there are four years of college and I should be taking it slow. A lot of the time I’m angered by these words and I feel as if they are just trying to put me down but I guess it makes sense. Whenever I submit homework assignments, I don’t bother to double check and whenever I complete midterms/finals, I finish as quickly as possible and trust my judgment. Then again, most of the time when I end of checking and I change answers, I find out that my original answers were right. Such a dilemma…
Someone told me that it can be okay to rush into things by yourself because you have that drive to push forward and make things succeed but if it involves other people, never do that. Working in a team requires a good steady pace so everyone’s on track. I have so many side projects going on that if I keep rushing into all of them, nothing will ever get finished and I’ll just end up with an empty slate.
Gotta start planning.
