This meme can honestly sum up how many last minute assignments and papers I’ve done throughout my first semester at Baruch. I thought that my procrastination would go away in college, but if anything it has gotten so much worse. I even try to start ahead of time, but I always end up doing it sunday night, or better yet, the morning before its due. It’s honestly so bad. I think the worst one was my paper for art history; I stayed up until 5 am and the paper was due at 9:30 am. All my professors say that “we shouldn’t wait until the last minute” and I know they’re right. However, I end up taking upon that challenge and pulling all nighters to finish the work. It was definitely a lot easier in high school to procrastinate, but in college it’s really hard sometimes. I really hope to break my procrastination habits for the future.

Kinza,
I hope that next semester you have better luck to avoid your procrastination. Maybe tell yourself the paper is due earlier than it is, that way you’ll give yourself more time to do it. Good luck on finals.
