Procrastination

I'm writing this blog post at 1:32 in the morning, Friday. This assignment is due in a matter of hours and to be honest it's a miracle I remembered to do it. I think this is sufficient evidence to my argument.

We have a procrastination problem.

This is a delicately complex syndrome that affects an ever-growing portion of teenagers. It targets those tasks and events that rank high on the "need to do" list and low on the "want to do" list. Incredibly flexible, this virus is incredibly talented at avoiding reason and dodging responsibility. As a practiced body of excuse-making students, we have become incredibly good at balancing this vice with the necessity of completing a certain amount of required tasks. We wouldn't want to embarrass ourselves, after all!

And yet we wouldn't want to embarrass ourselves by getting too much done either. Why study on a Friday night when we could be spending our valuable time watching Netflix or going to dances. Why right this blog post when I could be playing solitaire?

I make a good point.

In conclusion, our generation's obsession with procrastination is reaching dangerous levels. As dire as the circumstances seem, however, I think we'll have to worry about fixing this problem tomorrow.
Or maybe next week.
It'll happen.
