There’s Always A Reason To Procrastinate

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.
Some of the biggest reasons for procrastinating homework are as follows: you want to spend time with your friends, you prefer to go out to parties, and, basically, you accept any offer that distracts you from what you are supposed to be doing. Since the distraction usually revolves around any type of appealing socialization, one would think that if your friends weren’t around, work would be completed. Unfortunately for me, that is not the case.
 
 
It’s a three day weekend and my friends who live close by are going home to sleep in their own bed, shower without flip flops, eat non-cafeteria food, and of course see their family and friends. However, I live an awkward distance away; I could go home if I really wanted to, but I decided to stay thinking that it would be a good weekend to get ahead on schoolwork, relax, and prepare for the end of midterms. 
 
Sadly, my friend group was separated and the majority of our friends went home, leaving only a few lost souls behind. After just beginning the three day weekend, I promised myself that I would not save all my work for Monday night, that I would not do my laundry on Monday when everyone was returning, and that I would not waste this weekend doing what that I do best: absolutely nothing. 
 
But there I was Monday morning, prime time for laundry, awkwardly waiting for a dryer with my wet clothes in my hands and here I am now, Monday night, trying to finish all my work that I should have done when all my friends were away.
 
Honestly, I don’t know how I procrastinated all weekend, but I found a way. I always find a way. For some reason, this weekend seemed like the perfect weekend to organize my entire wardrobe, vacuum my room, stay up until unnecessarily late hours of the night doing absolutely nothing, sleep half the day away and remake my bed.
 
In retrospect, I should have gone home, because regardless of where I was I still found some way to procrastinate (and I could at least have gotten a home cooked meal).
