Oh, I know you have procrastinated at least once.

Procrastination At Its Finest

Procrastination. Yes, we have all done it. Sometimes, I am the queen of procrastination. I mean, maybe I procrastinated a little on this article. Anyways, procrastination comes in all shapes and sizes such as scheduling your yearly teeth cleaning, studying for your midterm, writing your semester reflection paper, and reading a 100 page article that was assigned 2 weeks ago. Procrastination hits you at the worst times. Trust me, I have been there. You want to hang with friends instead of finishing your homework. You just don't have the energy at 1 a.m. to finish that last chapter of your assigned reading. The following are the stages of procrastination:


1. You just don't care.

2. You accept procrastination will never go away.


You will always procrastinate in everything. Examples include buying a winter jacket, Christmas gifts, choosing a major, and choosing your future career.


3. Yes, you will have a panic attack.

Just take a deep breath. Concentrate on what you need to get done.

4. ...

Yep, you just had one while reading this article. Now go finish what you need to do and don't procrastinate.


5. You don't want to do anything.

You have no energy anymore. Everything else seems better than staying in on a Saturday and finishing your homework.


6. You choose sleep over everything.

Sleep is more important than homework.


7. Then, your conscious talks to you.

It comes to a time when you need to try not to procrastinate. Try to fix your procrastination habits by limiting your time on Netflix, making a check list and a time limit, and setting goals.


8. Finally, you have overcome procrastination. Doesn't it feel good?



Remember, procrastination is normal and happens to everyone especially in college. Professors understand. They have been there too. Procrastination will happen, but don't let it get to the last minute like at 11:58 p.m. when your paper is due at midnight.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
