Some psychologists believe that people who have a tendency to procrastinate aren’t lazy at all, but are, in fact, perfectionists. The higher the expectations we put on ourselves, the more we’ll want to run away from them. The more we put things off until the last minute, the more paralyzed we become. The more paralyzed we become, the more discouraged we are from trying to do anything at all. The less we try to do anything at all, the more we have to do to catch up, which leads to more procrastination, which brings on more feelings of guilt and stress and anxiety.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while.Steve Jobs

Every year, during the transition from summer to the rhythm of a school routine, I am unbearably angsty. I worry about the coming year, mourn the last one, and generally fail to enjoy myself or be responsible (so I don’t really know what exactly it is that I do). This is my firm assertion that I REFUSE TO DO THAT SHIT AGAIN THIS YEAR. All that happens is I isolate myself from my friends, berate myself for not starting out the semester with good habits, and generally make a mess of things I know I can handle. I get in this cycle of self-loathing over not knowing what I want and so, doing what I know I don’t want. I am SO OVER this self-sabotage thing. Once and for all I REFUSE to defeat myself. I am going to think positive thoughts, wake up early and get my blood moving and face every day with a brave face. I will ask myself ‘Is this what I want?’ and if I don’t, then I will figure out what it is I want. I am done waiting and worrying. I’m taking the reins now. Suck on that, senior year. I’MA GET YOU.
