The Procrastinator’s Guide to Not Doing Terribly in College


This is a blog post for all students, whether they are freshmen, upperclassmen, graduate students, or exploring the complicated world that is college academia at UT Tyler.  A common issue of procrastination exists amongst all students of higher learning, with varying magnitude amongst each individual.  However, now is the time to break the common mold that you may have already set yourself in; use this blog as a clean slate to disrupt the norm of educational procrastination.

Now, I know myself to be a consistent procrastinator, but that does not mean I am ok with it.  On the contrary, I constantly try to find new ways to make myself study and do work in a more efficient manner in relation to time, rather than put off assignments until they are either more convenient for me, or when they are due the next morning.  Many others have similar habits, and there are effective tips to combating these potentially harmful trends.

Experimental Poetry, Self-Discovery, and Refining Art Through One’s Profession


Experimental Poetry, Self-Discovery, and Refining Art Through One’s Profession 

For what it’s worth, I love the writing of Neil Gaiman, Grant Morrison, and Steve Moffat ( well, his TV writing anyway ) because they are ‘bizarre.’ Their writing isn't gross, or creepy ( well Gaiman has hit some creepy chords in his time ), rather their work is experimental and comes from as much of their personal lives as their imaginations. Gaiman has included his friends ( turned into characters ) into his books; Morrison turned his father into Superman; Moffat has written his dialogues with his wife into comedy routines.
