Finals are around the corner and I can’t help but feel the need to just forget about homework and relax. Of course I’m talking about my biggest enemy: procrastination. Ever since starting college it started creeping out more and more making me do other things rather than homework. It was always better to go get some food with friends or watch yet another show. I always did my assignments last minute, but luckily got amazing grades.

Today I sit with a cup of coffee, headphones blasting music, and my endless textbooks and notes in front of me. I can concentrate for at most two hours and then I begin to get anxious because I’ve been sitting at the same spot for far too long. I’m almost halfway through my assignments and yet I feel like I should take a break. I mean an episode won’t hurt, it’s always healthy to take breaks. One episode can turn into two. That is the problem I have been working on breaking this old habit for the longest and I am closer than ever to breaking it.

I push myself to do all my assignments and afterwards reward myself with anything of my interest. It works great from time to time, especially during finals when all my focus is on the textbooks. Just a couple more days and I will be able to do all the procrastination I want until I start next semester. I know I’m not the only one dealing with this issue, but just like many others, I am also trying my hardest to concentrate on homework.
