1. "I have so much time to finish this."

This is usually the first thought that comes to mind when a procrastinator looks at an assignment. Does that mean we are going to use that time wisely? No. It just means we acknowledge the fact that there is, in fact, sufficient time to finish the assignment.

2. "I should probably do my work, but am I going to? Nope."

Procrastinators are always aware of the work that they should be doing, but when it comes down to choosing between something fun and work, 9 times out of 10 the fun is going to win.

3. "I'll start Tomorrow"

We find ourselves saying this until the project is basically due Tomorrow. In our defense, we had every intention of starting earlier…

4. "I need to mentally prepare myself."

It's important to mentally prepare before entering into a cram session because what's a head will most likely not be pretty.

5. "Why do I do these things to myself?"

We ask ourselves this question every time, yet nothing ever changes.

6. "You can do it!"

We attempt to cheer ourselves on and coach ourselves through it because maybe that will work. Also as we get closer and closer to the finish line, the cheering gets a little more enthusiastic.

7. "I'm so not going to procrastinate next time."

Yeah right, we all know that's a lie. We can't help it, procrastinating is just part of who we are.
