The art of procrastinating.

 I was more than aware that I had these blogs to write before tonight ended. I already knew what I wanted to write about, I had all the thoughts already arranged in my head. Did I wait till last minute because my birthday was yesterday and I didn't want to have to focus? Did I wait till last minute because I'm just lazy? The truth is, even I don't know why I waited. Maybe a little bit of me is aware I work better under pressure and I knew I could still get these done and with full effort. 

Some part of me thinks procrastination is a disease. Why do I let myself become so stressed when I know I could just start work now and finish it later? Stress is so common in my life that when I push important things off till last minute, I almost feel complete when I'm stressed. I spent my whole junior high career not caring about school and my grades. That seriously took a huge toll on my life. it made me unhappy, I felt bad about myself, and deep down I knew I could do better. 

Once I started high school, I started to care about my grades so much more. I did all my homework in class if we had time. if we didn't have time, I would do it first thing when I got home. I knew that it was important to get all of my stuff done if I wanted to get into a good college and pursue my life dreams. I got here, and here I am procrastinating again. I think maybe the reason I procrastinate so much in college is because I fell into a huge slump moving away from home. Being apart from my mom who would say she's gonna kick my butt if I don't get my homework done. I know within the next couple weeks I'll start paying more attention and get my work done. I care about my grades and I know that now in college, this is our futures we are messing with.

  1. I think everyone is struggling with procrastination a little bit, considering that a lot of people have already written about it. I think procrastinating is natural, but I definitely need to work on it in order to be more efficient with my assignments too.

  2. Procrastination is definitely a potent problem for multiple students. I think the reason why we procrastinate is that we just expect that we can get the work done in any time frame. We think that time can just go on forever but deep down we all know that our time is limited. The way I avoid procrastination is saying to myself "Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today" - Master Vu from Lego Ninjago.
