107 Words1 Page

I have found myself delaying my assignments because I felt I had better things to do. “You shouldn’t let English assignments interfere with your religion.” (Roberts 378). I found that quote humorous because I can relate. I used to believe that Sunday was a day to blow off school work. I now realize one of the main reasons college students receive lower than expected grades is a result of deferring the assignment until the last minute. In the essay the author, Paul Roberts, shows the repercussions of the student’s procrastination, which is, an essay that is “weak in content”(Roberts

    The recent passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has left a controversially delicate 4-4 split within the Supreme Court betwixt the liberal and conservative minded remaining eight Justices.

Unsurprisingly, many Democrats have shown support for Obama’s choice to appoint a nominee himself, while many Republicans have voiced support for an alternative: allow Scalia’s vacancy to remain until the next president has been sworn into office and is able to make the nomination. Regardless of support or disdain for his decision, President Obama has chosen to nominate Merrick Garland as Justice Scalia’s replacement on the Supreme Court. The anticipated
