One thing that us students in high school or college are amazing at doing is procrastinating.
And If you're a student who claims to not be a procrastinator, then you're definitely lying to yourself. Admit it, we've all had those nights where we feel too tired or lazy to start an upcoming project so we push it to the side with no worries. But then the due date eventually creeps up on us and then it's somehow the night before the project is due and you instantly feel like there's a weight on your shoulders.
We've all had our fair share of these experiences where we carelessly push something off to the side and instead binge watch an entire season of Friends on Netflix. And if you're a professional at procrastinating at any point during the day like me, then you will definitely find these next few gifs to be a little too relatable.
1. Your professor assigns you a big upcoming project and you realize how much work and time it's gonna take to finish it
As if I already don't have enough things to do (aka watch Netflix).
2. Except it's only due in two weeks so you're basically chilling
Two weeks is a long time, right?
3. So during this time you do literally go out of your way to avoid this project
What do you mean there was an assignment?
4. And every time one of your friends brings it up in conversation you act as if you've never heard about it before
What assignment? Never heard of it.
5. But then two weeks pass by and you eventually remember it the night before it's due
And that's when you know it's gonna be a long night.
6. Once you try and start the project you realize that you have no idea how to do it
Maybe watching Netflix and staying in bed all day wasn't such a good idea...
7. So you go to Google for answers, but you can't find anything useful and you're still left confused
How do you move forward if even the internet can't help you?
8. And after being confused for so long, you decide to have a *short* study break...
Staring at your computer screen cluelessly for thirty minutes DOES take a lot out of you...
9. ..Maybe have a quick snack too
I mean, everyone DOES say that Brainfood always helps.
10. Then once you're done taking a break, you think you're going to be able to start fresh, but then realize you still have no idea what to do
HELP.
11. So you sit at your desk having done nothing with little to no motivation
Maybe it's time to just call it quits and to email your professor that you can't turn it in because you're "sick."
12. But then you somehow get a little bit of inspiration and the juices in your brain start flowing
And then you start to think that *maybe* you have a shot at finishing this and finally accomplishing something.
13. At this point, you're suddenly on a roll with something and feel unstoppable
Where was all of this motivation a few hours ago?
14. You're so motivated that even when your phone starts going off from your friends' group chat you want to strangle all of them for disrupting your productive flow
I love you, but please shut up for the next few hours or so.
15. Because at this point, nothing is stopping you from finishing this assignment
Not even the YouTube videos of iconic vines open in the other tabs that are calling your name to watch them.
16. Finally, after what feels like an eternity, you finish your assignment and you feel like you're on top of the world for pulling this off at the last minute
You never thought this wonderful moment would come, so a little celebration is definitely needed.
17. And even if you realize it's not the best work you've done after reviewing it, you're just proud that you actually finished it
At least you shot your shot.
18. It might've taken all night to do, to the point where you can't even function anymore due to the lack of sleep you got
What is sleep in college, anyway?
19. Except that all goes away just from the satisfaction of turning it in and lifting this HUGE weight off your shoulders, proving everyone else wrong in that you actually finished on time
Aren't you proud of me, mom?
20. Until your professor decides to assign another important assignment, to when you realize that you have to go through this process all over
Nope. Just nope.
