Procrastination

I had some trouble coming up with what to blog about, but the idea came to me since, well, it's Sunday. I originally wanted to post Friday, but then I got busy. Then, I thought "Oh, it's alright, I'll just post Saturday, for sure! Definitely!" That definitely turned into a possibly, then a maybe, then a tomorrow. Oh, but worry not! I promised myself I would post around noon so that I wouldn't have to worry about it the rest of the day. Noon came around, and I figured that playing some video games wouldn't hurt, I could post at one instead of noon, an hour later isn't that bad, right?

"Man, that was fun. Hey, I bet I could play another quick game. Then I'll watch a little t.v., but only a little!" This kind of thought process continued for the next couple of hours, leading to right about...now.

This doesn't just apply to the blog though, because I procrastinate on a lot of things. Luckily, I always get my work done and on time, but it's really tiring to put off work all the time, as weird as that sounds. I could do the smart thing and finish my work early so I can spend my day without stress or anxiety, but I love to save it for the last minute.

I used to ask myself why I procrastinate, but it's not too difficult to see the reasoning behind it; just look at any toddler. "Can I stay up a little longer? Can I watch one more show? Can I *insert almost any activity toddlers like* just a bit more?" Since childhood, people have always tried to fit more into their day, because twenty-four hours just isn't enough. So am I calling myself immature? In that aspect, that's exactly what I'm saying. I consider myself relatively mature for a teenager, but do I have to act like an adult now that I'm eighteen years old? I probably should, but it can wait till next year.
