Like any true college student knows, it's easy to procrastinate. With so many things to do, sometimes it's easier to just do nothing at all. Here are the stages of procrastination, as told by gifs from the TV show, "Parks and Recreation."
1. Avoidance
You put the paper out of your mind for as long as possible and convince yourself you have plenty of time.
2. Realization
Okay so you're probably going to fail if you don't get started on that paper.
3. Regret
Why did you put this off for so long? This was an undoubtedly terrible decision.
4. Focus
It's time to eliminate all distractions. No phone, no Netflix, only you and that paper.
5. Unproductive
You're trying your best, but nothing is happening. You've been working for 20 minutes, but you've made no progress.
6. Giving Up
That's it. You're never going to get it done. There's no point in even trying anymore.
7. Buckling Down
Okay. No. You can't actually give up. It's time to get it together and get it done.
8. Delirium
It's 3 a.m. and you're still working. You might have forgotten how to blink but you're going to get this paper done.
9. Accomplishment
It's done. You've finally finished it. Is it any good? You don't know. But you don't care, because you finally got it done.
10. Consequences
Well. Staying up all night has taken a toll on you. Maybe next time you'll actually start your paper earlier than the night before it's due. Who are you kidding, that's definitely not going to happen!
