I'll Do It Later...

Why is procrastinating so easy? I have always been one of those people who waits until the last minute to do things. It's not that I'm lazy, I just always put things off until I can't possibly put them off any longer. I guess that is why I have become one of those people who work so well under pressure. If I know something has to get done soon, it will be easier for me to do it. Especially since I've started at NIU, I've been procrastinating worse than I ever have. That is one of the problems with living in the dorm. There is always something going on, no matter what time it is or what day it is. It could be a Monday at 2 AM and there will be people in the hall or in the lounge, doing something fun. Or it could be daytime and there will be things going on, distracting me from what I really SHOULD be doing. I like to procrastinate so much that the other day when I was supposed to be doing homework, I cleaned my room. I hate cleaning my room; that is how much I didn't want to do my homework. There is always something to do here, even if it is "nothing", it is still fun, and definitely more fun than doing homework. Doing "nothing" in the dorms is what has been keeping me from my work all semester. That is kind of a problem about living in the dorm because there is always someone who is bored and wanting to hang out. Or there is actually something going on, and you would rather do that than do what you are supposed to be doing. I know it is bad to say, but at least I am having fun; I get my work done eventually.

This is very true, procrastination is a very easy thing to do.I also feel as if it has gotten way worse since I have started here at NIU. I feel as though procrastination is so much easier out here because there is so much more to do and no one to tell you to sit down and finish your work. It is also true that you see all of your friends running around the halls or your phone is non stop ringing to go out. Although you know you have things to do most of us tend to go out with are friends and say " I will finish that later". I think as long as you get your work done then it is okay to procrastinate.
