Procrastination: The Root of All Evils

Alright, so maybe its not the root of all evils. But honestly, procrastination has to be one of the worst things.

This post right here is actually nothing more than me feeling obligated to post something to the 1.5 people who read this, and trying to put off studying for finals. Shit.

Procrastination is honestly a mental health issue, in my opinion. Its self-destructive behavior, although its far different from actual pain that you inflict on yourself. But I really do think that procrastination is a sickness, and the more you procrastinate, the worse for you it gets. Then all you do is procrastinate.

Maybe its because I'm in high school, and I have 8 classes that I'm trying to balance, or maybe its simply in my nature to procrastinate. Who really knows why we do it? We know that its a terrible thing to do. The night before finals, you know you shouldn't be procrastinating. The night before your huge paper is due, you know that you should have done some work on it. Why can't we stop ourselves?

Like I said, this is my pathetic excuse at not studying right now. So I really shouldn't be talking about procrastination right now. Because all of those open-ended questions I just asked? I'm asking myself those questions right now. I am being self-destructive, and I know that, and I accept that. But what will it take to change these thinking patterns? What has to happen for all of us to STOP procrastinating and start taking action?

Now honest to god, I'm going to go do something to get ready for finals tomorrow. Fuck. My. Life.
