Along with many of my fellow students, procrastination is something I have struggled with throughout my academic career. My parents don't like to micromanage my grades and schoolwork but they have infinite campus so they noticed the missing grades going in. I tried to tell them, “It's not actually due guys I can turn it in whenever,” but that pretty just put a bandaid on the situation. Everyday my dad would ask if i'm working on it and I would answer yes and continue scrolling mindlessly through my phone. One night I was up late working on a project I waited until the last minute to do and my dad asks me what's my problem. He said “Do the things that you have to do so you can do the things you want to do.” Although at the moment this advice was annoying to an uninterested teenager the next morning when I woke up bright and early after a long night of stress I realized that maybe he was right after all. After he told me this I tried to start doing my homework as soon as I got home instead of wasting time. I still need to work on it a lot but his advice is helping me solve my problem of procrastination.
