It's ten o'clock on a Wednesday night and articles are due at midnight, yet here I am once again just starting my article. Once again I have no idea what to write about. This is nothing even slightly new to me, I tend to make this mistake every week. Not just when it comes to Odyssey articles, but pretty much every aspect of my life. I didn't start studying for my 8:45 am Wednesday final until 6:00 pm Tuesday night.

Procrastinating is nothing new to me. I've done this to myself for my whole life. In grade school, I used to stay up until the early hours of the morning and would do my homework then because I had better things to do during the day. Also, everyone knows that diamonds are made under pressure.

Every class, every quarter, every semester, every year, it's the same thing every time. I put things off until the last minute and stay up late, throwing off my sleep schedule and general sanity every time I have homework, a test, or a presentation. It's a terrible, horrible, awful habit that I just don't seem to be able to break. I hate that I do it, but I still do it over and over again. And I continue to hate myself for it over and over again. I have two finals tomorrow and I have yet to start studying for either. I truly am the worst kind of student.

Someday I'll be able to stop procrastinating, I'm sure. Someday I'll get my stuff turned in on time, I'll start my projects two, three days.. hell maybe even a week before they're due. I'll do my homework the day it's assigned, not the night before or morning that it's due. Someday. Maybe...

Eh, probably not. But hey, we all can dream, right?
