Procrastination, it happens to all of us occasionally. However, others live with this trait for just about every aspect of their lives. Whether it be procrastinating a homework assignment, work deadline, or even just taking out the trash or doing laundry; we all find something a bit more important to do, instead of finishing that specific task.

1. You understand what it's like to power through an assignment 10 minutes before it's due.

Although you've had all day or all week to complete the assignment, you put it off until 10 minutes before the due date and utilize every speed writing skill you have.

2. You frequently use the phrase, "Oh, I'll get to it."

No matter how much everyone reminds you to just get that task done right in the moment, you know that you will EVENTUALLY get to it.


3. You are more than familiar with finding every unnecessary task to be done before your most important one.

If you have three hours to submit a deadline, you decide you'll finally organize your closet, clean your whole house, and finish that novel you've been thinking about doing ALL before you get to the deadline that's due tonight.


4. You dread Sunday afternoons because you realize you're running out of time to put your responsibilities off.

The "Sunday scary's" are as real as ever for those who procrastinate all of their responsibilities away.


5. You constantly believe that your future self will have their sh*t together.

Even though you do nothing to change your procrastination tendencies, you still somehow believe a switch will flip in your head one day, and you will end up like the put-together adult you so readily imagine yourself to be.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
