Waiting Isn’t Great

Every year is the same cycle of disappointing myself with the amount of schoolwork, I out off doing until the last week of school. This habit has now become a tradition of sitting in Mr. Anderson’s room the last week of school banging out essay after essay and test after test dues for every class I didn’t feel like doing while the school year was in place. There has not been a year in high school that I did not finish at least one class. This trend started freshman year in career essentials, then the following year in geometry and then junior year ended in a complete disaster with not finishing 2 classes. School has come easier to me in the previous years before High School and I did not really have to work hard at it. As a freshman reality of high school hit me hard and instead of trying to make a change in my study habits I did nothing to change it and got super far behind and that is how I have lived through high school. I have never been the type of student to really procrastinate my work, but then again I never really got homework before high school so that does not really count then. Basically, this endless cycle has shown me that breaking habits is harder said than done because I have been putting off writing this assignment, and I am kicking off senior year on the same foot that I ended all the other years on. Doing this over and over again has taught me that procrastination does not mean that you do not have to do the work. All the work that I did not do when it was due just adds up and gets carelessly done just to get it over with. With college coming around the corner things need to starts changing. Professors at a university will not hold my hand through the assignments that I decide to pass in late or that I just do not want to do. Changes in my study habits need to helped and changed or else college will destroy every inch of my soul. My study habits do not need to be perfect they just need to be improved little by little each week and month. If every time I sit down to do homework, I work a little longer than the last time one day, I will sit down and figure everything and learn how to manage my time better. Nobody will ever have perfect habits, but I can certainly try to make mine better.
