Procrastination

I am narcissistic, pessimistic, sarcastic, and agnostic. I am a procrastinator. And damn proud of it.

I have managed to go through my high school career [three years of it, anyway] by putting off every paper and project I have been assigned until the weekend before, or even night before, it is due. Some, days after they are due. I have also managed to maintain a 93 average while doing so. One point higher and I could be a member of the NHS (National Honor Society). So I think to myself, Is this really worth it?

The only reason I procrastinate is because I am an essentially lazy creature. But honestly, will a littleextra effort effort at all kill me? I get high B's/ low A's in all of my classes because I pay attention in class, so I pass the test, but I do little to no homework, so my average goes down.

So I figure, do a little work here and there and Viola! good grades galore. But then I think, "here and there" is a little too much work; how about "here or there"? Of course, I pick "there" because it sounds farther away, and that way I can still put off doing the work without actually putting it off, you know?

Then it hits me - this whole not procrastinating thing isn't me. I'm probably the only person on the planet that comes up with a plan to stop procrastinating that actually involves procrastinating. If I ever did stop procrastinating, I don't know what I'd do.

I would miss hangover I experience all morning from pulling an all-nighter. I would miss the thrill you experience when you finally finish that project you've been working on for the past six hours straight. I would miss the stunned look on my friends' faces when they see how well it turned out. I would miss the pressure of trying to do 40 math problem is a half hour lunch period. I would miss wracking my brain for excuses as to why I didn't . I would miss it all. So a procrastinator I will stay.

Hello world [well, Mibba readers]. My name is Sofie and I'm a procrastinator.

And you know what? I don't have a problem with it.
