Winter break is around the corner but do you know what that means? The end of the semester is also approaching. Buckle up your seat belts ladies and gents because this is going to be a long week of finals. You might have one, or even two others might have seven or maybe five. It doesn’t matter the number you still have to sit down and study for several hours.
Now, aren’t we all procrastinators sometimes? Most of the time? Or always? Those are questions you can answer for yourself.
Here I’m going to point out the seven most common procrastinators.
1. The adrenaline junkie
It’s 11:50 and the deadline for the homework is 11:59 this procrastinator loves the action. Starts writing that five-page essay like he or she knows what they are talking about.
2. The “I’ll start at 7:00”
This procrastinator decides to start at a specific time, without noticing that the time he or she choose keeps on changing, magically. Oh, it’s 7:30 I guess I can start at 8:00. Oh wait it’s 12:00, I better go to bed.3. The sleep in and wake up early
Honestly, I've experienced many times this scenario.
“I’m going to bed at 12:00 and I will wake up at 5 am.” Sure, 5 am turns into a multiple set of alarms ringing and snoozing until the procrastinator wakes up at 12pm. Losing an entire day of studying. Sometimes this procrastinator even adds “I’ll gym in the morning and then study.” I’ll believe it when I see it.
4. The worrier
“I have five tests, two tomorrow , three on Thursday, OMG I will fail”. No, you are just panicking. “I can’t study for all of them, I will definitely fail at least two.” This one can also be considered the “perfectionist.”5. The social media liar (A.K.A Attention Seeker)
Snapchats of many books, highlighters, RedBulls and the time you study is not the correct way to “show off” how much you study. In your mind you might think “wow, I’ve done so much”, in reality you just believe your own Snapchat/Instagram lie.
6. The do everything but study
“Oh, I better do laundry and clean my room first”, when your laundry hasn’t been touched since October. Let me watch this episode first and then start studying. Four seasons later… “Where did my time go?”7. The relaxed
Got a test tomorrow morning, I can pull an all-nighter that’s okay. Starts studying at 2:00 am. Sits down in the test, why did I think about pulling an all-nighter?
Best of luck in finals and I hope you don't face these scenarios!
