Procrastination at its finest ( Due tomorrow? Do tomorrow.)

A student’s life would never be complete without procrastinating (admit it peeps we all have gone through this). But it does not mean we are lazy or what, sometimes there are days when we really feel like we should do nothing, and the feeling of being unproductive is just so welcoming. Don’t worry I‘ll understand if you really don’t want to read this because you feel so unproductive, I’ll understand ( note the sarcasm lol). Certainly there are days when you have tons of work to do; 15 essay, power point presentation, a file of paper works, a comic presentation, 1000 words- reaction paper, 8 reflection papers and all you want to do is to crouch in the corner and cry and later on….. SLEEP. Procrastinating is truly an inevitable act where you don’t want to do everything in the right way at the right moment  or right time that you should do it, but dear, again, no worries, I won’t judge ( I’ve been doing that for 12 years now and still counting), but let me tell you a little secret, procrastinators procrastinate in a certain way, every procrastinator is different but they have this common way of procrastinating and to be a part of them you need to follow this steps:

First, you don’t take note of deadlines and projects. This is the first stage of being a procrastinator, you don’t jot down the deadlines of all your school work because yooooou’re so tired to write the dates or you don’t have any pen and paper beside you and maybe you don’t want to write them because they stress you out ( I wrote all the deadlines once in my planner and I cried afterwards so I never did it again lmao). The first step in being is a [procrastinator is not taking notes of what should you do for the next few days.

Second, you just watch films or browse your social media accounts in the day before the submission. Instead of starting your essay or reflection, you browse your fb and twitter keeping yourself updated from everything around the world. Educate yourself about life hacks and stalking  famous artists or you may also watch films and take note you just don’t watch a single film, you watch a series of films, for example harry potter from 1 to 7 ( believe the movie is just so amazing can’t wait to read the book),

Third, cramming at its finest ( you cram). On your last hours before the submission you suddenly realized that the deadline is due tomorrow so you suddenly open up your books and notes , pop out the Microsoft word or PowerPoint in your screen then type there like a madman, or if you are at the wrong side of the bed ( since you didn’t take up notes) you will ask your block mates on what you should do but  your block mates being themselves have different explanations of what you should do and then there you are waiting for confirmation or post from some legitimate source.

Fourth, cry and pray. You’re at the end of the line dude, there’s nowhere to go now its already 4:00 am and your class starts at 7:00 am and your still halfway from what you should do days ago. So there you crying and contemplating on what you have done, questioning yourself why didn’t you did that earlier. On this part of the process you start to drop all things down and have that very deeeeeeepppp “buntong hininga” close your eyes and pray that the deadline would be moved by next meeting.

Fifth. The verdict. (You will not pass your project on the deadline). Usually the deadlines are moved because of some cases like meetings or something and sometimes the prof would allow you to pass your project  even though its late but most of the time the deadlines exist. And then you realized that your classmates already passed their project then there you are left all alone

So there you go, 5 easy steps to become a procrastinator, but peeps don’t get me wrong I didn’t write this to encourage you to become one, I wrote this up for you to realize that what you are doing right now ( like just scanning this whole text and not reading this thoroughly or you just look at the title and doesn’t even bother to reach this part) could be  a sign that you are already become one ( I don’t mean to be judgmental or anything sorry) so while it’s still early and there are still time to save yourself start now and do your work. Don’t waste time peeps.
