Procrastination happens to the best of us because sometimes you just can't bring yourself to focus on all of the tasks on your to-do list! Now that syllabus week is long behind you, those due dates that you marked on your calendar are fast approaching. A month ago, it didn't hit you that you had tons of major assignments for every class all due within the same two-week span. Forced to get back into the grind, you inevitably fall into the trap of ignoring your canvas reminders.
When due dates sneak up on you, you're left with nearly no time to finish your work and hit the submit button before the deadline passes. If there's anyone who can perfectly capture what this feels like, it's everyone's favorite childhood cartoon. Scroll down for SpongeBob GIFs that are WAY too relatable in this scenario.
