What is it like being late all the time? It's a very complicated and frustrating process. I am one of those people that is always trying to be on time but is always late no matter how hard I try to be on time. There are stages to being late and but there is no going back to fix it once you already realize you're going to be late.

1. You start out being so confident that you can be on time. Thinking I can do this, I am going to be on time today!

2. You think "oh I don't need to get ready yet I have plenty of time before I have to leave I'll still be on time."

3. You realize okay I really need to start getting ready now.

4. You get distracted while getting ready so it takes you longer than a normal person to end up getting ready.

5. You realize you need to leave in half an hour and you're only half way ready and just wonder how is this possible.

6. You need to leave in 5 minutes to get there on time and start thinking maybe today isn't going to be the day you are actually on time.

7. You've accepted you aren't going to be on time, because that would mean you need to leave now and that it's okay because you're just a late person.

8. You were suppose to leave 10 minutes ago to be there on time.

9. You were suppose to be there already but you're still at home just about to leave.

10. You decided tomorrow is a new day and you will try harder to be on time then.

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.

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.
