4 Stages Of Procrastination That Every College Student Can Relate To

Procrastination is something that I have sadly been a pro at for as long as I can remember. I have always thought that I do my best work under pressure. This may be true when it comes to papers or projects; however, I have found out that it is not as true about studying for tests and making a good grade.

1. The feeling that you have plenty of time

When an assignment or test is first announced, I always seem to think I have so much time to do it. It isn't that important for me to start on it right now. I know that if I have two weeks to get it done that I will eventually get it done so why worry about it now?

2. Thinking about the assignment

This is the time when I realize that I have something important coming up. I know that I should at least be reading over the test material or the rubric for the assignment, but instead I just think about doing those things until it's wayyyy too late.

3. Should have started already

This is when it is the day before the test or assignment. I know I have should have already started at least looking at the work. Maybe I shouldn't have gone out to dinner with my friends every night this week. Should I cancel dinner tonight to work on it? Even though I know I probably should, I'm not going to because I still have to time to get it done tomorrow, right?

4. STRESS

The last few minutes before a test or an assignment is due, I am FILLED with stress. I know I do it to myself, but it always happens. I do my best to get it done. Will it be right? Will I get a good grade? I can only hope because I have no time to learn any more by now.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
