You're procrastinating right now aren't you?

17 Things Every Procrastinator has Said

Let's face it-- we all have something we like to put off to the last minute. Whether it be homework, studying, papers, you name it, we all procrastinate on something. Some of us have a tendency to procrastinate more than others, at times on purpose and other times we do it unconsciously. We like to find as many excuses as possible to push off work until it absolutely has to be done. Here are just a few that any procrastinator may say:

1. "I'll do it tomorrow."

Or the next day, or the day after that.


2. "My room looks awfully messy."

And you should definitely clean it before doing any work.


3. "Did I do my laundry this week?"

Can't have that basket full of clothes distracting you.


4. "Where is that funny video I saw last month?"


And then you somehow end up reading a Wikipedia article on the history of spaghetti.


5. I need a quick break.


"All I need is 15 minutes. I swear!"


6. "Just one more episode."

Otherwise all you will be thinking about is that cliffhanger.


7. "I should really check my messages."

What if someone sent you something really important a hour before your assignment was due?


8. "It's rude to say no when you're invited out to eat."

And we definitely don't want to seem rude.


9. "I still have 6 hours. No problem!"

I mean that a quarter of the day.


10. "A power nap will give me the energy I need to focus on this."

A power nap is like a hour or two, right?


11. "It's not worth that many points, it can't take so long to do."

Your grade doesn't hinge on this one assignment, right?


12. "My desk looks like it needs to be reorganized."

Cluttered desk, cluttered mind.


13. "I should go workout and take my mind off of things."

A nice jog should clear your head enough to focus.


14. "It might snow tomorrow, so I probably have more time to do it."

It says it will snow, so class is practically cancelled.


15. "I can get this paper done in an hour"

You've probably done in in less time that that too.


16. "I work best under pressure."

Sometimes you just need the right motivation.


17. "Due tomorrow. Do tomorrow."

It's our motto.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
