As the end of the semester gets closer and closer with summer around the corner, us college students now struggle with dragging ourselves through our last assigned papers, tests, and studying for finals. You just want everything done.

Thus, you confide in your half friend, half enemy: procrastination.

You have had run-ins with 'em before over the semester, but now they have never been a bigger threat. You remember innocently back to when an assignment was first introduced. You thought: It's not due till next month? I've got three hours before my next class; I could totally do this ahead of time!

Then you sit down and realize that the paper has to be ten pages long, about something you don't particularly like, and you start panicking.

So then you decide to do something else: the homework for your next class, scroll through Facebook, check out YouTube. You do a combination of these three things and move on with your day.

For the next couple of weeks, you try to get yourself to do the darn assignment before it's too late, but there's always a quiz in that one class that you have to be on top of. I guess the thing is going to have to wait.

Then it's two weeks until it's due. Dude, the deadline is coming up. You should probably start working on it.

One week. Now? Nah.

Two days later...I'll do it tomorrow.

The night before.

Now that you have finally sat down, you then realize that you had completely forgotten what exactly it is you need to write about, and you have no idea what to do.

Your mind starts racing a mile a minute as you scan the requirements, draw up a plan, until you finally start typing.

Hours later, you finish early in the morning and you collapse onto your bed, finally glad that it's all over. You go to sleep promising yourself that you will never let this happen again, but believe it or not, we allow this cycle to repeat itself over and over until we are at the final stretch. Why?

The truth is, we might never know. Not until we are deep in the game.
