I have always been the type of person that can't do something right away. If you give me a deadline, I will wait until that day, or the night before, to start working on whatever it is. I don't want to be this way, but I am. You would think that this could be something that would lower my grades and my performance, but on the contrary, it helps them.

Anyone who procrastinates can probably relate to the initial stress that comes from procrastination. I have stuff to do.I have to do the stuff. If I don't do the stuff, I will fail. Failing is bad. I cannot fail.

Until you actually do the stuff, the stress just hangs on you. However, what other people don't get to experience is the feeling of getting the stuff done. Turning in three assignments in one night and doing nothing the next couple of days is a pretty great feeling. That stress is gone, the anxiety has calmed, and everything is right in the world (except for everything that isn't like world hunger, wars, racism, sexism, etc.).

People who don't procrastinate and start assignments the day they are assigned are always asking, "Why don't you just do it now".

Okay, it's because, um, like, we can do what we want? It works for us. They can go ahead and use their pretty pens and highlighters to do what they're doing. They spend their time in the libraries, working every day, lookin' all smart over there. We will be over here in our rooms binging some Netflix/Hulu and ignoring our stuff until we have to do our stuff. It works for us, so just stop telling us to do stuff. We will get it done, and we will recieve as good of a grade/performance evaluation as they will, maybe even better.
