As a professional screw-up...

[anarchodandyist]

This is the article I wrote for next year's Student Body Handbook, on screwing up at Reed. It doesn't say everything I wanted to say, because that would probably take up about 70 billion pages, but hopefully a few people will get something out of it, at least.

Very well written.

I eventually found a strategy to deal with my procrastination towards the end of college: lie to myself and adjust all my deadlines back by a couple of days! The power of a couple of days -- especially when you're near that deadline -- is enormous. Having those extra couple of days in case I missed that deadline meant I was pretty much always in the clear.

A much needed article for the handbook. And that Steve Black quote is awesome. I love that man, and he is the only reason I regret not taking Bio at Reed.
