Student Syndrome

I was chatting with some friends when "medical students' syndrome" came up. On top of its wiki page, though, said "For academic procrastination, see Student syndrome."

So, of course, like any self-respecting student would, I clicked on the link, and it brought me to something too good not to share, so here goes!

Student syndrome refers to planned procrastination, when, for example, a student will only start to apply themselves to an assignment at the last possible moment before its deadline. This eliminates any potential safety margins and puts the person under stress and pressure. It is done in order to induce a level of urgency high enough to ensure the proper amount of effort is put into the task.

HAHAHAHA they have a name for this! I don't know why this amuses me so much but it does. Ohhh the things people come up with. Amazing! The world is a strange and wonderful place X'D
