The 10 Truthful Qualities Of Every College Procrastinator

If you lookup the word procrastinator in the Google search bar on your computer, Vocabulary.com will tell you that it means: a person who delays or puts things off — like work, chores, or other actions — that should be done in a timely manner. So ask yourself, are you a procrastinator? If you are, then we are very similar and you know the biggest struggles of putting things off or taking your sweet time to get something done.

1. Paper due at midnight? No worries 11:55 pm is the best time to turn it in.


This may sound like a bit of an exaggeration, but sometimes us as procrastinators actually do this! Our brain needs time to decide what we want to do with out clustered thoughts.

2. You sleep in as long as you can.

The snooze button is one of our best friends.

3. Making up a reason of why we are procrastinating is part of being a procrastinator.

We claim other things to be more important or we were busy with something else insetad.

4. Concentration does not come easy.

No we do not have ADD, we just get distracted easily.

5. Listening to music while doing work, or having it be silent is a tough decision.

Changing the song, or singing along gets distracting an can be a set back for sure.

6. Just because we are told about something far in advance does not mean we will start on that task earlier.

Remember we are extremely "busy."

7. We are the type of people who do not need help, so do not bother offering us your insight on how we can manage our time better.

8. Its not that we are bad at time management. I mean after all we do get our stuff done on time, it just takes us a while.


9. Laundry will not be done until need be. This means we will wash it when we are down to our last pair of socks or underwear.


10. Most people say, "I will get to that later," for us procrastinators out there in the world, this phrase is way over used.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
