7 Types Of Procrastinators

Winter break is around the corner but do you know what that means? The end of the semester is also approaching. Buckle up your seat belts ladies and gents because this is going to be a long week of finals. You might have one, or even two others might have seven or maybe five. It doesn’t matter the number you still have to sit down and study for several hours.

Now, aren’t we all procrastinators sometimes? Most of the time? Or always? Those are questions you can answer for yourself.

Here I’m going to point out the seven most common procrastinators.

1. The adrenaline junkie

It’s 11:50 and the deadline for the homework is 11:59 this procrastinator loves the action. Starts writing that five-page essay like he or she knows what they are talking about.

2. The “I’ll start at 7:00”

This procrastinator decides to start at a specific time, without noticing that the time he or she choose keeps on changing, magically. Oh, it’s 7:30 I guess I can start at 8:00. Oh wait it’s 12:00, I better go to bed.


3. The sleep in and wake up early

Honestly, I've experienced many times this scenario.

“I’m going to bed at 12:00 and I will wake up at 5 am.” Sure, 5 am turns into a multiple set of alarms ringing and snoozing until the procrastinator wakes up at 12pm. Losing an entire day of studying. Sometimes this procrastinator even adds “I’ll gym in the morning and then study.” I’ll believe it when I see it.

4. The worrier

“I have five tests, two tomorrow , three on Thursday, OMG I will fail”. No, you are just panicking. “I can’t study for all of them, I will definitely fail at least two.” This one can also be considered the “perfectionist.”

5. The social media liar (A.K.A Attention Seeker)

Snapchats of many books, highlighters, RedBulls and the time you study is not the correct way to “show off” how much you study. In your mind you might think “wow, I’ve done so much”, in reality you just believe your own Snapchat/Instagram lie.

6. The do everything but study

“Oh, I better do laundry and clean my room first”, when your laundry hasn’t been touched since October. Let me watch this episode first and then start studying. Four seasons later… “Where did my time go?”


7. The relaxed

Got a test tomorrow morning, I can pull an all-nighter that’s okay. Starts studying at 2:00 am. Sits down in the test, why did I think about pulling an all-nighter?

Best of luck in finals and I hope you don't face these scenarios!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
