One time I was studying in Hornbake for a long time and a bunch of pretty girls sat in a nearby table. I had a hard time concentrating with them there. After about an hour or two, they left and one of the girls gave me a piece of paper with some stars drawn on it. She said it was an award for being such a good studier. I thought that was weird. The funny thing was that I really wasn't studying that well because they distracted me.
I'm lazy and I can't help it.
Out of 25-27 schedule hours (classes, tutorials and labs), I would hardly go to more than 5-7, I copy most labs, and do poorly on midterms (failing some of them). Everythign goes badly until about 2 weeks before exams start, at which point I start cramming and (generally) doing well on finals, though I end up with average marks over all.

Yeah, but you probably have twice the motivation I do. So you'll get a better job.
All I want to do is save up enough money to go travelling again. I LOVE travelling.
In high school, I never did any work and just breezed through with relatively good grades (As/Bs). In college, I've found I have to work pretty hard but only get okay grades (Bs).
King of procrastination, but that didn't stop me from finishing high school with a 3.8. My average in college is the same right now, although it's only been one semester, gimme time, it'll come down... 
Last minute ... did well enough in HS & university. Later attended college and worked hard throughout and did extremely well (computer science)
I did things last minute and that worked for a few years, but after that I got screwed up the wall. Had to change my whole way of doing work. By that time I was so far behind in the curriculum, I had to survive on sheer will power to get through some courses.
So far I have always done everything last minute (working almost full time and taking 16 credits makes that my only choice). Nonetheless, I wish I was one of those disciplined that actually work their assess off for their grades. The difference with us (all-nighter pullers) and those who plan, study hard and do well is that the latter learns more in the end, lives a happier life, with less stress and depend less on luck and more on the fact that they did the things the right way.
Hopefully, I can start being a little bit more disciplined and be one of those that study hard and do well.

I don't know how I would describe myself as a student. I try to do all my work as soon as possible instead of procrastinating, but when it comes to exams, I always just study the night before (if I even study at all). So far, it has worked out quite well.
