An Ode to Procrastination- Shawn Jose
Oh No! Here comes that time again. The eclipse of day and the descent into night. It seems like this happens often. You sadly look at the time wondering it you will be successful. Will you be the victor or will time overcome you? You start yourself on this journey, filled with breaks, despair, and joy. Now, it is time to begin. With a cup of coffee and a weary mind, you begin to fill the room with the constant tapping of keys. The constant ummmmm and ahhhhs in your mind. You try to block out the distractions but to no avail you find yourself checking Facebook, reading through Reddit posts, and pondering about other things. Then, you look at the time. Two hours have passed and all you have is a paragraph. But now its time for a small nap. You reason that with a little sleep, your mind will be clearer and prepared for more writing. Now three hours later, you wake up. Its two hours before class and you are three and a half pages away from a complete paper. The sudden rush of fear comes to you and you frantically type away, damning yourself for leaving this stupid paper for today. One hour later, a calming energy overtakes your spirit and occupies your being. You are done and now you feel like the happiest person on Earth. As you begin to walk to the train station, you read over your paper. Inside you cry a little as it was the most beautiful paper you ever wrote
