Celebrating Failure

1) Procrastination tends to be my silent killer. This semester my procrastination definitely led me to fail. I was planning on running for president of my Panhellenic chapter. I knew the date of the election and I knew that I had to be in Gainesville on this specific date. The weekend before elections I went to buy my bus ticket back to Gainesville and every single bus was sold out. This was coming back to Gainesville the weekend after Thanksgiving break, I knew the buses would be packed and my procrastination made me miss the elections. This was a definite failure on my part. 

2) I learned that my procrastination, although may work in some cases and allow me to thrive will at the same time be my downfall. I learned that its better to get things done earlier if I am certain about them then to wait. I also learned that its important to prioritize tasks and that pushing important things off until the end may result in a major failure. 

3) Failure is definitely the least fun feeling to go through. It makes you question your personal abilities as well as your future. Although failure is extremely unpleasant it also builds character. If it weren't for failures the successes wouldn't be so enjoyable and exciting. Failure also definitely shows you what character flaws you need to work on. At the end of the day without failure I feel that you cannot truly grow as a person and develop into your best self. I think after this class specifically I would take the same risks and make the same decisions that I would previously. If anything I feel like this class has taught me how to better prepare for big decisions and the complete thought process I should be having when making big decisions.
