Every procrastinator can relate to this meme. Whenever a teacher in high school or a professor in college assigned an essay or project, I would almost always leave it until the day before to begin and attempt to finish it. Yes, I know it is not an efficient way of working to my full potential, but I value my time. I believe that time is the most expensive thing that can’t ever be replaced because once it’s wasted, it’s gone. Many young people would agree with the meme because they would much rather go to a party and have a good time than sit at a desk and think of a critical and analytical way of approaching and doing an assignment.

However, having fun may not always be the reason why students do not finish their work earlier than the day before the assignment is due. As students, we take more than one class, thus, the possibility of receiving a copious amount of assignments is extremely high. Time management is a crucial factor in how and when assignments are done. Hence, even the smartest and most organized students can relate to this meme. It would be inhumane for individuals to finish about 5 different assignments, at least, efficiently in a short period of time.

The rate of difficulty of the assignment can be a factor for stalling the assignment. Students have a variety of classes that range from the easiest to the hardest. Receiving an assignment from your easiest class would make one take it almost as a joke, like “psh, is this guy serious?” Personally, I’ve said that many times for SPECIFIC classes. Those assignments from the easiest class may be held until the day before to start because of how easy the task for the essay or project is. In high school, my music teacher gave us a “FINAL” to write our own piece of music. Well sure, I thought sarcastically. Time to bring out the Mozart in me. My music piece was not written the day before, but instead the day of music class. Luckily, it was last period so I had the entire lunch period to collaborate with my fellow “composers” on different ideas and how I should approach my piece. Turns out, I got a 93 on the piece and passed the class. I don’t remember what I ate for lunch, but I do remember that that was a good day.

In conclusion, time is the most valuable thing you can give anything and anyone. That’s why when people “waste” their time on certain things, they feel sad or upset. However, everyday is a new lesson and giving up your time on anything is valuable itself because of the knowledge gained through it. Similar to the concept of either going out to party or sitting at a desk and looking at your computer screen, there will be a lesson learned with each decision. If someone chooses to party, they either learn that they’re a party animal and keep it up, or settle down and rethink their lifestyle. But if the person chooses to stay home and do their work, then they learn the essence of education and how important it is to keep money in your wallet instead of “wasting” that at the party too.
