Student Series 1: The Mañana Habit 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 Delaying tasks is one of the constant poor practices of some students, and cramming is their last hope to atone for their unwise decision. Procrastinators live by the motto: If it is not the due date, it is not the do date. Eleftheria Isra is one of the great examples. She loves deadline hence working in full swing to beat the clock is her favorite habit. Bukod sa hindi madaling tigilan ang isang bagay na nakasanayan, mahirap din para sa kanya ang pigilan ang nararamdaman sa isang tao na hindi niya inakalang balang araw ay kanyang magugustuhan. A real smart cookie with a heart of gold puts her into a heated pan, melting her softly like a butter and stirring it with love. Could this person help her understand that making things ahead of time is always better than putting them off? Or, after making him feel loved and important, would she still do something that deliberately breaks a soft heart that it is too late for her to realize?
