I Truly Am a Pro at Crastinating

Honestly, they should change the word to concrastination, considering there isn't much good that comes out of it.

I Truly Am a Pro at Crastinating

First off, I would like to start off by stating (or bragging) that I have mastered the art of crastination. I even put off writing this article since last week!

Whenever I tried to do my work beforehand, my mindset went from:

... to...

... in approximately 13 minutes, might I add.

So recently, I decided I would never try and get an early start on anything anymore. That way, I feel better about myself since I choose to live this lifestyle. It's not that I am incapable of doing work diligently, like most other students, I just choose not to! Let me paint you a picture of how my nights now look before assignments are due.

Hypothetically, let's say this is a Sunday. Here's a countdown.

T-24 hours

Obviously, in bed watching Netflix.

T-20 hours

Obviously, eating my life away.

T-16 hours


Obviously, in bed watching Netflix, eating my life away.

T-12 hours

Now, here's when the work comes in. Finally, a little whiff of inspiration.

T-11 hours

JK, that was cookies.

T-10 hours

Still recovering from that food coma.

T-9 hours


Realizing I underestimated the amount of work I have to do.

T-8 hours

Hyperventilating the pain and stress away.

T-7 hours

"RKIM, YOU GOT THIS. JUST BANG IT OUT."

T-6 hours

But before I do, this is me saying goodnight to all my friends -- all my responsible and capable friends.

T-5 hours

Banging it out.

T-4 hours

Finally finished! Then realizing I have something else due -- my life's a joke.

T-1 hour

"Never again."

Next Sunday...

T-24 hours

Igniting change, one step at a time -- RKIM.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
