When you first hear about a deadline coming up to complete an assignment, you have the thought pop into your head, "I should get started now to get it done." But then you think, "No I still I have plenty of time." Eventually, this turns into, "I will do it later." A few days before it is due, this is when you start to worry because you have not started, and you have to sacrifice sleep to get it done.

The Deep Hole Procrastination Sucked Me Into

I should get started on this assignment.

No, it has been a long day.

I do not feel like doing it anyway.

I still have plenty of time.

Today, I just want to unwind.

I will do it later.

A few days before the deadline...

I need to do this assignment.

This is the day when the all-nighters start.

I hope I will not fall apart.

I need to stop being lazy.

It is not worth it to drive yourself crazy.

What is the lesson here?

Do not wait until the last minute.

At first, it will not be easy.

But it will be worth it when you feel happier.

Stop procrastinating before it is too late.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
