This article isn’t going to tell you why procrastination is bad and how you can fix your ways. It’s simply to tell the truths of procrastination and how its addicting ways can drag someone into the never-ending cycle.

You have a nine-page paper due in seven hours with only one page completed. You’re probably sitting in a quiet room with limited distractions working hard on finishing the paper. Just kidding, if you are anything like me you are probably taking a Buzzfeed quiz to find out what flavor of ice cream you would be (BTW, I’m Rocky Road), or maybe you are just laying down doing that weird thing with your arms where you stick them straight up in the air and stare at the ceiling (or is that just me?). You have a lot of responsibilities, yet no motivation. We have all been there at some point, some more than others.

You wait until the last possible day to write an A-worthy paper and have your professor convinced that you’ve been working on this since it was assigned two weeks ago. Little do they know that while you were writing the paper not only within hours of when it was due, you were probably online shopping trying to find a pair of shoes you’ll most likely only wear once. Next comes the 20-minute break where you question why you ever thought college was a good idea. Then, you look at the clock and realize you only have a half hour left. So, you start typing sentences and adding big words, even if they don’t make much sense, to get you that much closer to hitting the required page count.

Procrastination is unavoidable for some people. You really do try to complete all of your important tasks right away, but 15 minutes into it you tell yourself you deserve a break and watch 10 episodes of The Office in a row. Sometimes my roommate and I even look up memes of Ryan Gosling or Luke Bryan and distract ourselves for a good hour doing that. You somehow convince yourself that it’s just as important to keep up with your TV shows as your academics and other adult responsibilities.

You promise yourself you won’t put yourself through that kind of stress again, but let's be real, it will happen again next week and every other week after that. But, after you receive the final grade and it is an A or B, it will all seem worth it. Sometimes, it even makes me think procrastination is an effective method of getting things done. You have to admit it does feel pretty good knowing you handed in quality work that you completed under a short amount of time and taking a few online quizzes so you know what zodiac sign your soulmate is (in case you’re wondering mine is a Pisces).

If you’re a procrastinator, I say keep doing you. Keep planning your dream wedding on Pinterest instead of finishing that important project right away. I mean, you have made it this far getting away with it.
