I am aware that I should have started this earlier, but I sitll need to pay for at least $5,000 (I have more than that to pay for, but this is just to get me by) toward this year's tuition. I got so caught up in applications and schoolwork my senior year that I only had the time to apply for a few. Now I'm behind and applying seems so hopeless because the competition is so high.
So, after not having blogged for about a week, I feel inclined to voice a few opinions on a topic about which I have much knowledge. It is a problem that I feel is almost intrinsic in my nature and in that of many others around me. Throughout all of my years in school it has always been there, and has probably grown worse as and worse as I approach the end of my high school career.
I think it was the second semester of my sophomore year of college that I mastered the art of successfully pulling an all-nighter (or more than one—in a row.). I won’t go into that here, though. Purposely avoiding sleep is not the smartest thing in the world, and I won’t be responsible for making it easier for all of you to accomplish.
One thing that is a huge problem on my college campus is video games. People sit for hours at a time playing the latest games. Guitar hero and Rockstar can be found everywhere. Tournaments are held and homework is pushed aside to make way for the latest and greatest in the gaming world. Last week in class i found out that there is such a thing as professional video gamers.
I use to be a major procrastinator. I guess I still am, especially tonight. I hate procrastinating even though I do it. It creates stress, and doesn't allow me to get enough sleep on days that I especially need it. I encourage every procrastinator to fight this evil. It will only cause greif.
As I sit here typing this, I am most definitely procrastinating on writing a paper that is due in two days. . . and as I type it, I have to wonder: Why do I always do this??? I know there are a lot of you out there who do the same thing. . .
Procrastination the curse of my existence; an endless cycle that has the potential to control my life
I am quite experienced in this particular area of concern as I am sure many of you are too. Right now, for instance, I am putting off working on hours worth of homework by browsing through Progressive U and writing.
Okay...So I procrastinate. It's obvious and it's a problem. The problem is blown out of the water by the fact that I am an AP (Honors) student and have much to do. Right now, I have half finished Spanish makeup work, a chapter of history to read and write a paper over, math homework that has to be at least four days late, and I'm scores of cell animation blocks to draw-by Friday.
