Let's all face it, we've waited until the last minute to do something. I'll admit it, I've become the queen of procrastination since coming back to school. And we all sit here and we wonder how we got to the point of cramming in a 500-word paper 20 minutest before a class.
Stage 1: Getting the assignment.
You're sitting in class and you're handed the assignment. It could be worth 30 points and it could be worth 85 percent of your grade. You have a plan to do it all on time and to get every freaking point possible.
Stage 2: Not following Plan A
So after you get the assignment you're sitting at your desk in your dorm telling yourself, "I've got this. Just got to start with my schedule I made for the assignment." But...Netflix is just calling your name.
Stage 3: Just one more episode.
It's a few days before your assignment is due but that new show you just started and there's already a huge cliff hanger and then the next episode has a cliff hanger... and then the next...
Stage 4: Realizing you're out of time.
When you glance at the clock and realize that it's two in the morning and the project is due tomorrow.
Stage 5: So you bring out the Keurig
And so starts the all-nighter.
Stage 6: Realizing that your work is actually shit and trying to find a reason to blame anything and everything except yourself.
Don't lie, we all know you do it.
Stage 7: You get your grade back and think to yourself, "This won't happen again."
But it does.
And each and every time we face the battle of actually getting our shit together, we really don't. But let's face it, at least we kind of tried? That deserves a shout out.
