      Kolbus
      says
      he
      will
      al-
     
     
      ways
      be
      a
      bit
      of
      procrastina-
     
     
      tor,
      but
      since
      his
      crisis
      last
      year
     
     
      he
      has
      learned
      to
      manage
      time
     
     
      a
      bit
      better.
     
    

    
     
      “It’s
      just
      one
      of
      those
     
     
      things
      that
      you
      have
      to
      get
     
     
      slowly
      into,”
      he
      says.
      “I
      think
     
     
      it’s
      normal
      to
      procrastinate
      in
     
     
      university
      but
      what
      you
      learn
     
     
      at
      some
      point
      is
      that
      it
      is
      not
     
     
      necessary
      to
      pull
      anallnighter.
     
     
      You
      don’t
      need
      to
      abuse
      your
     
     
      body
      like
      that
      --
      it
      screws
      up
     
     
      your
      sleeping
      patterns
      and
     
     
      that’s
      far
      from
      healthy.”
     
    

    
     
      Kolbus
      says
      that
      al-
     
     
      though
      he
      still
      regularity
      seeks
     
     
      extensions,
      he
      manages
      to
      stay
     
     
      on
      top
      of
      his
      assignments
      and
     
     
      get
      at
      least
      some
      of
      the
      work
     
     
      done
      before
      hand.
      As
      for
      the
     
     
      tips
      from
      a
      master
      of
      the
      craft,
     
     
      Kolbus
      says
      that
      the
      most
      im-
     
     
      portant
      thing
      to
      do
      if
      you
      want
     
     
      extensions
      is
      to
      develop
      good
     
     
      relationships
      with
      professors
     
     
      beforehand.
     
    

    
     
      “Professors
      are
      usually
     
     
      really
      understand
      because
      they
     
     
      don’t
      have
      the
      desire
      to
      have
     
     
      an
      extra
      paper
      to
      mark
      when
     
     
      they
      have
      forty
      that
      just
      came
     
     
      in.
      But
      if
      you
      know
      your
      paper
     
     
      is
      going
      to
      be
      late,
      it’s
      best
      to
     
     
      talk
      to
      the
      prof
      before
      it’s
      due
     
     
      --
      it
      just
      shows
      respect
      to
      their
     
     
      authority.”
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Managing

      As
      for
      the
      root
      of
      his
      procras-
     
     
      tination,
      Kolbus
      says
      that
      he
     
     
      simply
      doesn’t
      see
      time
      as
      all
     
     
      that
      i

      a
