Procrastination

It has begun - the thing that every dew-faced high school graduate intends to avoid in uni at all costs. We all start uni with the thought that because we faced so many trials during the HSC and came out alive, we couldn't possibly devolve back to old habits that weighed us down during high school. Well, it's back.

Procrastination.

Some people compare it to an addictive drug that consumes time, money, marks, and life - but ironically it is the absence of discipline that is so enjoyable. We'd all rather be having a nap, stalking our friends on facebook, or chatting up girls on msn than starting that dreaded assignment or presentation. I have friends that have learnt to master these urges, simply with the mindset that they'll get everything done and then play hard afterwards.

IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING EASY! It's the dreaded "Ok, i'll start in 10 minutes" that gets everyone fucked in the head. There is an infinite number of "10 more minutes", while there is a finite period until your assignment is due. Logically speaking, procrastination is perhaps the only thing that smart but lazy uni students should have to worry about.

As is implied in this post, i do have an assignment due in a couple of days. Yes, i am on facebook. Yes, i am chatting up girls on msn. Yes, i'm posting on this blog so that i don't have to start my assignment. Why do i do it? Because it feels so god damn good.
