Dear Procrastination,
Why me? Literally, why must you always haunt me when you know I need to get things done? I know you know that I have finals to study for, essays to write and loads of projects that I have not even begun. Procrastination, I feel as though you don't understand what I am going through. Just because you have nothing do doesn't mean I can watch Netflix and take Buzzfeed quizzes all day. I have a life, and you are taking it over.
Sure, procrastination is a two-way street, but I am telling you the truth when I say that it's not me it's you. It's you who is always telling me that I have more time. You are the one who convinces me that it is a good idea to check Facebook again, even though I just did two minutes ago. I can only refresh my feeds so often, but so often just isn't good enough for you. You're always asking for more, and I am sick of it. I am sick of you to be completely honest. I feel as though I can never escape your grasp, and despite telling me that I am not ready to do my homework, Iam ready.
I am ready to write my essay, to finish my online MathLab and to ace all of my tests because I do not want to be like you. I do not want to be sleep-deprived and stressed every day. This is not healthy for me; this is not what a relationship is meant to be like. It scares me to be honest.
For this reason, I think this relationship is over. You know that this is for the best, and maybe we can even get back together over the summer, but for now with finals right around the corner, I think it is best we take a break. I still love you; it just isn't the same as it used to be. Trust me, this hurts me more than it hurts you because, well, I don't think I am ready to approach finals without you. Procrastination, you and I make a great team, but I know a break is what is best for me... and my GPA.
I hope you understand what I am going through, and I hope that we can still be friends. But procrastination, it's over.
Best,

P.S. Procrastination, can you pick me up at 8?
