2. When you’ve just gotten the assignment, and begin your long period of procrastination:
3. When you finally get around to looking at the actual assignment, and the instructions or study suggestions are vague and confusing:
4. When your procrastination period ends and you realize you’ve waited until the very last minute to start the final paper or study for the test, and try not to freak out:
5. When you imagine what you would say to your teachers if you could:
6. When you actually start the paper:
7. When you finally have to sit down to take a test:
8. When you hand your test/paper in, and the teacher smiles and thanks you for it:
9. When you eventually make it home on the last day, and realize that you’ve just completed another year of college:
