The essay that I chose to write this blog about is “The Truth about M&Ms” that we read in week 5. It took me awhile to find an article in the database that relates to this essay. But after throwing around a few different searches, I found an article talking about the relationship between college students and procrastination. This article looks through research to see which types of people are more likely to procrastinate not just in education, but in other areas of life as well. This article states, “This situation is not isolated: some research studies have found that the majority of people who procrastinate are young adults”. This relates to the essay we read because procrastination has a lot to do with what type of student we are and how we get things done. Although some people may view procrastination as reckless when it comes to academics, it’s really hard to shame someone because most of the time it boils down to anxiety. Here is a quote I found within the article talking about the relation between anxiety and procrastination: “… a study conducted in Ecuador links performance and emotional regulation as predictors of academic procrastination in university students, with no difference between men and women.” It was interesting to see that there is not a difference between men and women in this instance, But, I am sure procrastination looks different for everyone.
