I disagree. If you're not the fatherly type, that's all the more reason to develop that side of yourself. Any person improves enormously by engaging more with empathy, and actually I don't think jadis is unemphatic, despite not being fatherly or gentle.
Also college students often do not have their **** together at all, and while I hate the increasing schoolishness and lowering of expectations I see at universities, giving students support and advice can really help
I don't really have advice about procrastination though I think, it has always been an issue for me too
