Better Luck Planning
When I am enjoying a nice event, or have an important task to tackle, procrastination somehow factors in my life. Even though I prepare by organizing for any event or task, somehow, I am asked to do something in between those times for others. The majority of the time I would say “Yes, I will do it,” but end up pushing it aside. Although I am giving advice on how to make it better, I tend to overlook the advice that is given to me. Procrastination in all tends to take up the best and important moments of my life, I just need to have the courage to do the work, so it would not happen again.

The application was not due until April 15, 2017, so I had time. I ended up doing the easy portion of filling out the basic information, but once I got to the part that stated to “list out the activities that were done in the past”, I stop. The days became weeks and the weeks almost became a month. My mother called again asking about the application process and of course this time I replied with a
“Yes, but I am not finished with it.”
So, I got back to finishing the application. Once I listed the activities, the next section required a short essay. I had started but did not complete the section. A month went by and then it was mid-March; I came home for spring break. I planned to finish it that week, so my father would read the short essay. As for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday went by, I finished the short essay and my father read it. After he read it, there was the last section to fill out and send. I did not finish that section until a week later. I turned in everything on March 26,

Hopefully, if I am given the benefit of the doubt and the board of the financial aid office contacts my instructor, and hopefully my instructor would vouch that I tried. I never missed class except when I had doctor's appointment and I informed my teacher beforehand if I was going to miss a class. I was also diligent with my homework's and participation. I tried my best and gave the class my all but me failing my exam sealed my faith. Our two exams were worth 50% of my grades and me being a bad exam taker and having the panic attack and running out of my medication before exam week and not being able to get my medication on time, my whole study pattern and exam preparation was thrown out of
With every suitable class completely filled during the Summer School Semester of 1965, Mom regretfully informed us that our enrollment application was rejected.
“Oh the Places You’ll Go”. What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you see this sentence? Perhaps infamous author Dr. Seuss and an acute nostalgia of childhood memories . How many people have a dream vacation or favorite place? The tropical tropic of Tahiti or perhaps glacial glaciers in Greenland or maybe the Castle on the Hill? Dear classmates, no person thinks more highly than I do of the uniqueness, as well as abilities, of the very intelligent individuals whom are in this room. So no regards wish to bore you with trite details. Without further delay, I shall speak forth my research.
Attention Getter: A famous author by the name of Wayne Dyer once said, “Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is incredibly heavy.”(1) In todays society it seems as if procrastination has become a normal and acceptable thing to do. It is often joked about amongst schoolmates and co-workers around the world. Nothing seems to get done until it absolutely needs to get done, then everyone runs around getting things done quickly and often times inaccurately. The trouble with this mentality however is that some things will never get done because something will come up tomorrow or the next day and what you are putting off now gets pushed even further back. Today I will persuade you to stop this habit from continuing. I will be explaining the problems we face when dealing with procrastination as well as how to deal with it and actions you can take to prevent it in the future.

One of my biggest barriers is procrastination. I often procrastinate by creating reasons in my head to avoid doing a task. Even when I procrastinate, I still manage to complete my assignments however, I am still constrained to get it done in a small amount of time. A website named, “Unstuck” has nine tips to help to stop procrastinating, one of which is, “Bargain with yourself. If you finish the business plan now, you can go to the movies later.” I have to convince myself to do my work first, then reward myself by watching shows on Netflix. When I do this, I feel relieved that I do not have to distress over doing my work on a small time limit. Many times previously, I have rushed to get an assignment completed and so the finished product is not A plus work. The website also states that making up consequences for avoiding a task, and additionally constructing a to-do list with all the tasks I would avoid, can stop me from procrastinating.
One of the most daunting experiences for me as a senior in high school was deciding the rest of my future. Naturally, the pressure I suffered from resulted in a serious case of procrastination. I left everything alone, hoping that somehow, all my problems would

In a word, procrastination has bad impacts on our lives and we should eliminate it as much as

Why do drugs? That’s a question that many people ask and that’s the question that I’m asking in this essay. Why would you do drugs? What’s the point of doing drugs when they just kill you or make you go to jail? All drugs do for you is…. Well nothing. Drugs do nothing to help you in anyway. Drugs may give you relaxation for a couple of seconds but is that really worth getting addicted to or even dying over? These days there are a lot of drugs in the world but the ones that are the most used is weed, cocaine, and pills.
