Procrastination

As high school students we tend to procrastinate a lot, like more than is needful. This tends to get rather stressful around the end of the term. There's so much to do, and so little time. We have late papers, test/quiz retakes from seven or eight classes to do in a week. WOW! You'd think after one term we'd get the point and not procrastinate anymore, but no. Why is it that we do that? Why is it that we always put things off until the last minute? For me personally one of the main reasons is time. When the assignment is given I don't necessarily always have time outside of school to do it, so I keep putting it off thinking that I have plenty of time before the end of the term to get it in. Then the time seems to go by really fast and all of a sudden it's the last week of the term and life gets ten times more stressful as it would have been if I would have just done the assignment on time. So if we can realize that there isn't as much time as we think there is, our lives can be a heck of a lot less stressful.
