The 11 Stages Of Procrastination

Because you have all night to do that assignment, right?

The 11 Stages Of Procrastination

1. Denial

What? No, of course I don't have a huge test tomorrow! Well, I mean, I do but it's not like I have to study super hard for it. I'll just look over my notes later! It will be easy peasy!

2. Nap Time

It will be physically impossible to fit all of this information into my overly exhausted brain. I mean, there is just no way I will be able to remember everything if I'm tired.

3. Extreme Motivation

You wake up four hours later feeling refreshed and ready to rock and roll.

4. The To-Do List

Instead of applying all of that insane energy directly to studying, you channel it into creating an extremely detailed, color-coded, and alphabetized to-do list.

5. The Procrasticlean

Now that your school life is all organized, it's only fair that you apply this to the rest of your life, right?!

6. Nap Time (Round Two)

All of that cleaning and organizing left you feeling a little drained, and you may or may not have fallen asleep while reading through your textbook. That's okay, though. Osmosis works with studying too, right?

7. Cue Crisis Mode

All right, it's time to get down to business. You crack open your notebook and start reading through your notes. About halfway through, you realize that you have absolutely no idea what the heck is going on.

8. Tears of Defeat

Each tear that slides down your face feels like a small piece of your future drifting away right in front of your eyes

9. The Pep Talk

We can do this, do you hear me!? Wipe those tears off your face and cry on the inside like a winner!!

10. The Cram Session

The clock is ticking. All of the sudden, something comes over you, and you become a speed reading warlock. This new found sorcery may cause a little bit of maniacal laughter, but you just chalk that up to the shockingly high level of caffeine in your system.

11. Self High Five

Congratulations! It may have taken you all day and a good chunk of the night to get it done, but you did it! Now get some sleep, kid. You deserve it!

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
