Every college student has gone through phases of procrastination. If you haven't, kudos to you. But I definitely have. Whether you are putting off a big project or a two-page essay, there's most likely some scheming in place to prevent you from finishing an assignment. I have analyzed my own procrastinating and come up with five different phases of my own academic destruction.

1. The "I have plenty of time" phase

A month until the assignment is due? No problem! Let me just sit here and drink my tea.

2. The "Whatever" phase

I have other assignments (agreeably, much less important) due before this, so I'll focus on them instead.

3. The "Mad Scientist" phase

This is the moment where I start to find every possible excuse to not work on the project. My neighbors need to watch the Breakfast Club and need my help? Why sure!

4. The "Extreme Typist" phase

This gif explains everything.

5. The "Finally Done" phase

This is the moment right after I've turned in all of my assignments and vow that I'm never going to procrastinate again... only to do it again next week.
