We all procrastinate. It's a fact. And if you don't, you aren't human, and you must be turned in to the government facility. I know a few kids from my high school that might need to be checked out.
For us regular college students, we approach the new year with bright eyes and expectations. We also approach the new year completely forgetting what had happened in the previous year. It's the same thing with New Year's Resolutions.
We actually follow through on the first week. Maybe we even get to two or three weeks if we're lucky.
But by October, right around now, we have completely given up, fallen back into our old ways, and realized it.
At least I have.
Since this is my last year of school, I wanted to go out with a bang. I wanted to actually be an over-achiever. I bought a planner, I woke up earlier. I was getting things done earlier, and not having to pull a lot of all-nighters. And it lasted pretty long too. About a month.
But then, I started forgetting to write in my planner. And then I started forgetting where my planner was. And then I started s saying I would fix it, and never did.
That lead to doing assignments the night before, or sometimes the hour before. Something I had done way too many times before. It also lead to pulling all-nighters where I didn't do anything.
That's why I'm writing this article right now. To hopefully fix myself.
I mean, I can't be like this when I graduate and get a real job and have to pay rent. I have to fix this now, and keep doing so.
Right now, I'm writing this article a day before my deadline, while doing laundry, writing a reflection, and doing research. I will break this cycle, I don't know how, but I will break it.
