It's a disease that cannot be cured.

Procrastination Is An Art Form

WARNING: If you’re reading this because you’re procrastinating then keep doing you because you’ve obviously got it all under control. Enjoy.

Procrastination is: the nights spent being totally overwhelmed, stressed and panicked. All of these dreadful feelings of anxiety happen because you let the disease of procrastination into your life time and time again. With that being said, don’t ask anyone why they do it or they'll just look at you like this:

If you procrastinate, you understand the feeling of the world crashing down on you because you feel that all of the teachers came together and planned to ruin your life. But actually, you are just lazy and those 10 assignments you were “supposed” to be doing each week of the term were not a teacher’s plot against you to ruin you; because you were supposed to be doing it each week, but your constant urge to put everything off got in the way. And for some strange and unheard of reason, something just happened to sound more appealing to you than starting and finishing that one research paper that you swore to your classmates and professor you were “almost done with.” So, unfortunately you feel like everyone and everything is out to get you because in one night you have to complete those 10 assignments, two research papers, read every textbook for every class, study for four finals, and save the world on the ONE night everyone and their mom ask you to go do something totally non-school-related and God forbid to actually have fun.

Procrastination is an art form, and it's not always a bad thing. If you have mastered it then you probably work extremely well under pressure, way to go!

Once you've actually realized what you've done and that you now have a day to complete a whole term's worth of work before the clock turns midnight, there is no messing around... Except for all the weeks before obviously, but from that moment of realization on there is nothing that can get in your way. Because when you are procrastinating you are very busy doing what you don't need to do in order to avoid doing anything you are actually supposed to be doing. But, you get the job done.

I blame Netflix.

Anyway, I should probably get back to saving the world, I've already procrastinated 19 years.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
