It's been a year since I started college and all I can say is that, it is never easy doing assignments. Especially GROUP ASSIGNMENTS. I have to deal with doing assignments with a bunch of people and it can be so hard when some of your group members don't do much of their work. Even after constant pestering, most of them would still do last minute work and expect you to correct their work for them. Basically, telling you to do all the work and they will just blindly receive all the marks you've worked hard on. Sometimes we struggle to find time to do the assignment together so that we can correct our mistakes. So I'll share with you guys my know-hows in handling assignments, both group and individual.

1. Online Storage
I often use online sharing storage like Google Drive/Google Docs to do my group assignments. It's actually sort of convenient since we can see real-time editing from other members that you've invited to view/edit the document. However, if the file is big, it can sometimes become laggy.

2. Friends don't make use of friends
No matter if your group members are your friends, you should just treat them like you don't know them. Once you see them as your friends, even if they don't do their work, you'll still forgive them which is a bad thing. If they are really your friends, they won't make use of you. Friends like that are not worth it.

3. No last minute work
Please, please, PLEASE, don't do last minute work. I mean, even now, I have group members who decides to do their work a few hours before the deadline. NO! Plan all your assignment routes, finish it a few days before so that you can actually show your lecturers the drafts before handing it in.

4. Pay attention
You should actually pay attention when the lecturer is explaining the guideline for assignment. Once you miss a thing, you will most probably fuck up your assignments and you'll have to redo it. Take down notes whenever the lecturer is explaining. Ask questions if you are not clear about it.

5. It's okay to pester them
Ensure that your group members don't delay your group assignment. Pester them to finish up the assignment on time. Sooner or later, they'll find out that it's for their own good.

6. Relax
Whenever you're stuck in between the assignments and feel pressured, take some time off to chill and relax. Or else, you'll stress even more about it and it'll disrupt your eating and sleeping schedule. Currently, that's happening to me.

There's so much more to it but it's basically common sense to be honest. Happy GROUP ASSIGNMENT-ing!
