PROCASTINATION: a love && hate relationship.

i think we all know what procastination is right??? if you don't, well let me tell you.

Procastination means that you wait till the last minute to get everything done, when you had LARGE amounts of free time to do it.

now that you know what procastination is, let me tell about the love and hate relationship that i have with it.

well, in school there are three kinds of people, the type that get everything done when its assigned, the type that don't care at all about what is assigned, and then there are the type of people that i happily fit myself into. the PROCASTINATORS. well i believe that my whole life ive been a procastinator, and ive noticed that u had dealt with it sooo well, that it has got me to where i am today. (: idk what it is about doing everything last minute that jst works out for me, but it does, and i dont have any problem with it. im not saying that im lazy when it comes to schoolwork, heck what am saying? yes i am lazy when it comes to homework.. who isnt??? certainly not myself, and the people i associate myself with. MY FRIENDS. we are one huge ass group of procastinators, and i love it ahah. but anyways, its not that i couldnt do my work when ever i had free time, i could if i really wanted to, but thats just simply not how my mind works. whenever i have an assignment and i know that it wont be due for a while, my mind just doesnt feel like working on it, instead it thinks

"O! i still have 2 weeks to get it done! why do it now??"
or in cases of research papers, or big projects

" O! i still have month and a half to get it done! whyy do it now???"
ahaha. i dont know why i have that state of mind when it comes to things like that, but i dont rwally mind it, because in the end, it works out wayyy better, then if i would of done stuff periodically. i guess what im trying to say is that i WORK BETTER UNDER PRESSURE. haha. when i know that something is due the next morning, then thats when i get to work on whatever it is, now matter how big or small the assignment is. thats when i truly get into "work mode" and waste my night working on stuff that i regret not working on earlier. even though i get furstrated with myself, and with the amount of work, i suck it up, because i only have myself to blame. but like i said, this has become my source of success throughout high school!. literally.

two main examples that i can give about how being a procastinator has made me achieve high grades on assigments would have to be, science fair project, and research papers. all i can say about the science fair project is that i spent one day working on it, (mainly night) and that one night was jst enough to get my project an awesome grade, and even qualify me for the county state science fair! and for the research papers, ive literally started and finished them the day before their due date, nights filled with furstration, tirednes, complete BS writing, and overall "im over it" mood. so what do those nights give me? they get my papers high scores. my papers turn out to be as good as the other papers, from the straight "A" students, students that did their papers with time, and spent lots of their time actually researching. haha ! HOW DO I DO IT? i honestly dont know. but im glad i do it. haha.

that was the thing i love about procastinatig, the thing i hate it about it, is the fact that i spend one whole night doing eveeything possible to get everything done. from txting, to twittering for assignments, to starting from scratch. gettin furstrated with the whole thing every hour of the way. wanting to give up, BSing it when u jst dont dont give a fuck anymore. WANTING TO SLEEP. and literally jst wanting to give up. you think to yourself,

"why did i wait last minute to do all this! i had twoo freaking weeks to get it
done and over with!"
you wish you could go back in time to actually do ur work, (well at least i think that ahaha). but other than these furstrating things, i enjoy doing it, HAHA, like i said, it works for me. so WHY NOT? <3> is not for everyone, me and my friends have literally become professionals in this artform. ahaha.



P.S. if you've sparked some thoughts about turning into a procastinator, dont, ur not going to handle it, truste me. it takes alot of endurance to not crack under the pressure.
