DO NOT PROCRASTINATE!!!

oy... so much work to do... yet, so little time... =.="

For those of you procrastinators, you know EXACTLY what I'm about to say... (and if you don't... well I was about to tell you to NOT procrastinate... and yea...)
anyways, BACK ON TOPIC!!

So procrastination is a huge problem for almost every teenagers these days... Whenever we come home from school, our parents would always ask us, "Hey *insert name*, why aren't you doing your homework?!?!"... and we would always give them the same old stupid answer, "Well... there's still 2 days before the hw is due, so yea... I'll do it tomorrow or something... I'm just gonna go watch TV now..."
well let me tell you, that's the wrong answer...
instead, you should force yourself to do a little bit of the hw each day, that way, you won't be too stressed out, and you won't leave all the works cramped up 'til the last day before it's due...

Take this as an example...
So one day, your teacher assigns you this really huge science project that'll probably take days to finish... What would you do when you go home?
well this is what a teenager would usually do in that case... goes home, CHILLs on the sofa for a few seconds, realizes that he/she has homework so he/she must stop CHILLING, digs out the agenda from backpack, flips to the page with hw stuff, hesitates, closes agenda, goes to room, takes out ipod, plays angry bird (or whatever apps)...
see? THAT'S THE BEGINNING TO THE PROCESS OF PROCRASTINATION!!!!!! (which is BADDDDD!!!)
instead, this is what you're SUPPOSE to do... take a look...
When you finally come home from an exhausting school day, and you realize that you have a big project that's due next week... you........ GLUE YOUR BUTT TO YOUR CHAIR, SIT THERE, BE A GOOD KID, AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha, just kidding... no need to be that harsh to yourself... XD
ok, so here's what you should do... just do a little bit of the project everyday, and eventually you'll get it all done, right?!!!!!
that's a motto you should always stick in your head, and NOT this... "Don't do it now... just leave it 'til later..."
(just remember... there IS NO "later"... 0.0)

remember... THE LONGER YOU WAIT, THE WORSE IT GETS!!!!!!

and as hard as it might seem, you just have to SUCK IT UP!!! (lol)
and don't worry, you're not the only one struggling with this problem... I'M struggling too...
In fact, the reason I nearly failed social study back in grade 7 was all because of procrastination... (ok, maybe I exaggerated a little bit... I didn't ALMOST FAIL... i just... got a really bad mark (a "C" ain't no joke, y'all <--- why am i suddenly talking so cowboy-ish?!?! haha XD)
anyways!!
see? that's what procrastinating can do to you................. SO DON'T PROCRASTINATE!!!!!!!!
