My Life

Procrastination has always been a part of my life, if I do not like the idea I basically don't even try to do it till the deadline is near. If it is something that I believe might be fun and exciting, then of course I would plan to do it right away. And even then, I would always find something better to do. Some of the things that would keep me from doing the most important things were texting, surfing the web, going out, or just watching television or listening to music like any other teenager. I have to admit, I dislike school, always have and always will. But, school is the only way that will keep me away from minimum wage jobs. I think that ever since I started getting homework, I would play outside and not do the homework till it was almost time to go to bed because I never wanted to deal with the hard stuff. All the way till my senior year in high school, was when I realized that my procrastination had to stop immediately.

Year after year, my procrastination just seemed to be getting worse because I thought that school was nothing to worry about and it was just plain unimportant. I had been taking all honor courses ever since I start high school. I remember that there was a class I had in my sophomore year, which was American History. That was the only class I almost failed because of my procrastination. All I did was be on my phone all day and not pay attention in class. The only times where I would pay attention and actually enjoy the learning was when the teacher would show us films about anything that we would be studying at that particular time. Other than that, I would get in trouble for talking during class, not paying attention, and not doing most of the assignment and home works. There was a time when I received my semester grade for that class, it was my first F I had ever gotten in my life. I was scared at what my grandmother would say about that. I was paying close attention to when the grades were going to get home so that she wouldn't have to see them. It was then, that I kind of realized that I needed to start paying attention to school.

Entering college was a bit difficult for me because I knew that I was going to start my procrastination even in the beginning of the semester. I tried to make plans about this but it always seemed to beat me up. I made an appointment to speak with my academic advisor and she gave me a few tips to manage my time wisely and not waste it like I had always done. I could have cared more about my education, which I think I really did because I had went to college. But, the truth was that I didn't really care because school was just not for me. I had the mind of someone who pretended they needed time off when I really wasn't doing anything at all. I preferred having fun or being on the internet all day, till late at night. The one thing that my advisor told me was to write things down so that I would not forget. The only thing that I would forget was to write
