I put the 'cras' in procrastination.


Well, hello, to anyone reading my very first blog post! It's way past my bed time (yes, I mentally have a bed time for myself, but I end up avoiding it anyway), so I will not write too much on this post. 

First off, I need to say something important. Everyone, including myself, needs to learn the importance of avoiding procrastination. Yes. We have all done it. Most of us do it every single day, others, not so much. And lately, this has just really been bothering me. My first semester in college is ending in two weeks (WOW). Okay, seriously? I'm still mind blown that I graduated high school in June, how am I almost done with my first semester of community college? Again, mind blown.

AS I was saying...Procrastination just needs to stop for me, personally. It's a shame to confront procrastination, especially since I'm surrounded with hard working friends & family members.

For anyone who knows me, they would know that my family & friends are my world. I would do anything for them. I am nothing without them. I also admire them for having what I lack sometimes- work ethic. I'm not saying I'm the laziest person in the world, in fact, I am a really hard worker myself. I get what I want, when I want it. My only problem that I have ALWAYS had was delaying things that I want. And that's where my procrastination creeps in. 

So my rant tonight is mostly towards myself, because I'm my own worst enemy (haha, but so true, we all can agree.) My situation is an essay. An English essay. That's due Wednesday. And all I want to do is avoid it. And I've done a fantastic job at doing that! ....So that's the problem. It is unacceptable. I am fully aware of it too, which is another problem. If I want to do well in school, I need to go after what I want and whatever it takes to graduate and transfer to a four-year college. 

Moving forward, I am going to try my best to avoid procrastination. Because it is evil in it's own little way and makes everything stressful, especially for us college students. 

Procrastination: you are not worth it.

(This was a bit longer than I expected, thanks for sticking around)
