Let's face it, procrastination is real and everyone has dealt with it. Whether it be avoiding chores, homework or anything else in between, we are all guilty of it. It's not something to be proud of, but you cannot help but keep going back to procrastination.

Here are the stages of procrastination, as told by a serial procrastinator:

1. False security

This is the part of procrastination where you feel invincible. The essay isn't due until tomorrow, I have PLENTY of time to relax. Right? Wrong.

2. Unbelievable amounts of motivation and confidence

This is the point when you THINK you have the motivation to finish your work but it's all just empty promises to yourself. You might sit in front of your computer and try to start that essay but you don't actually get started.

3. Productive distractions

Got a few emails that need to be sent? Now is the perfect time to do that. Oh, how about that assignment due later this week? Maybe now is the perfect time to get it done.

4. Not so productive distractions

Now you start re-watching all the seasons of "Friends", stalk your crush on Facebook or decide to make yourself a three-course meal from scratch. These are the distractions that you feel like you "deserve" after being so productive before.

5. False Start

Now you realize that time is ticking and you need to get to work. However, you don't actually get things done during this step. "Maybe I'll just open up the document and write an outline."

6. Panic Mode

This is when you have less than 3 hours to get your work done, start to panic and actually get all your work done.

7. Regret

After all your work is done, there is a sense of relief as well as regret. You tell yourself that you'll never procrastinate again but we all know you're lying. So, good luck and happy procrastinating!
