This semester I’ve only had take-home finals and final papers. I’m having a hard time focusing on my work at home, but let’s be honest, I’d be procrastinating even if I were still at school. Every time I think about doing my work and decide to wait, I think about the SpongeBob episode fittingly called “Procrastination.” This episode describes exactly what it’s like trying to do finals and papers on your own time.
Finding any reason not to start your work
Finally deciding to buckle down
Deciding to take a break after doing the bare minimum
Doing anything but your work
Getting super offended when people call you out for procrastinating
Seeing the time and panicking
Actually working hard
Finally finishing
Feeling proud and relieved…
…until you remember you still have more assignments
Doing this every time
