Is one truly a content creator for Odyssey without writing a piece in honor of finals week? It’s definitely questionable. But I thought I would spare y’all the extra GIF list this week, and talk about something that maybe isn’t quite as relatable, though maybe it is.
I’ve realized over the course of my 18-year path of education that I, like all students, procrastinate quite heavily. I’ve managed, thus far, to dodge any major repercussions besides the occasional bout of lack of sleep during the last three weeks of a semester. But I don’t always find myself procrastinating in the ways that seem typical of my Internet peers. I do what I’ve liked to term as productive procrastinating, where I wok on things that are extra-curricular related, writing related, or even tackle less immediately due academic projects. I’ve termed this practice “productive procrastinating.”
This year, in typical fashion, my concentrations have been on applications for grad and/or law schools rather than the real tasks at hand. And all the while, I can almost literally feel my GPA sinking into the depths, making my chosen form of procrastinating totally irrelevant. I’m sort of basking in the irony that is created in all of this. And my lack of inspiration is evident.
Stay motivated.
