ProcrastinationJoin now to read essay ProcrastinationPsychology 250October 10, 2007Senior ProjectProcrastination is something that most people have done or experienced throughout schooling and life. I have done it through my entire schooling career. It is not worth the pain and stress some one puts themselves through but for some reason not a lot of people learn from there mistake. Whether its because people have low self esteem, or just don’t care I don’t know, but it’s a hard habit to break. I commit this mistake all the time but brought procrastination to a new level my senior year of High School. I waited until the last few days to get it done and it showed in my presentation.
This problem of waiting until the last minute to do things has followed me my whole life. I think I picked it up as a young child and have held on to it since. Its always made things very difficult, much more difficult then they should originally be. I have started to learn from this. The type of conditioning that this falls under would be operant. This is because I have learned from prior mistakes and changed the way I approach things, which has made things much easier.
My senior year was made very difficult and stressful because of procrastination. This was a research project that was to be worked on over the whole. It required a mentor, interviews, a paper, a certain amount of hours, and a final presentation. I got the paper done in a short amount of time and figured I would be okay for a while. A while turned into waiting until the last three weeks of school. I ended up never getting a mentor but I finished the hours and the interviews, but it was very close. The stress I put my self was not worth the trouble. Also the end result did not meet my prior expectations I had for myself. I knew I could have done a lot better if I had rationed my time better, but I did not so I got the grade I deserved.
I was working on a study of the impact of alcohol on sleep and my relationship to it. I knew it was not a good idea, but I could not avoid it. This was not a group of guys out to prove their opinion when they were in front of a packed audience of 15 or 30 strangers. But it was also about the research. So my senior year my roommate went to the university to help out and she was already doing a research project. She met with a guy who asked what he thought about what happened with alcohol. He told her he didn’t think it should affect behavior. She said, I’m the same way.”
“In my early life I was an alcoholic. Not every alcoholic has the same experience. I also don’t think like that. But like I said my relationship to alcohol was good. We drank a lot and we got along well. I thought it was important that we worked and were good friends, but it wasn’t as important as we were always together. I really enjoyed it, though it was very hard because I was never in the same room with my girlfriend. We had a lot of fun together. We loved doing movies, hanging out and partying. I also loved being with a cool group of very talented people. We shared jokes and made jokes on everything, like I was the most creative person in my family.”
“The best way to look at this situation is you have a lot of control over relationships. In my case, I didn’t know what a “problem” was because I didn’t want the person I had a problem with to feel isolated and afraid, or to not like what I was doing. Sometimes you have the responsibility of dealing with the outside world, but I was never this way. I’m not going through that. I thought I was going to get arrested for driving under the influence but I was doing my own research.
“My first year was very hard, but we started with alcohol. It made a big difference to me on a normal night of partying. And it helped me figure out how not to drink. I knew the problem was a simple one that didn’t involve alcohol, and I knew I was the best guy to help out with it. By the end of the month at first I was drinking 20 or 30 pints a night, which was OK, but I think that was a step down. I think it helped me figure out how to get out of that situation
The Student:
I was really very excited. With the same kind of motivation and dedication I learned from my junior year: to grow, to make better decisions, to move forward, and to enjoy my time better. After my first year on campus and my second, I moved quickly and had great success. With all the hard work, I would have been the next best thing and I could help myself and make better decisions, but I wasn’t going to get a place at university because the grades didn’t match me. I am confident that I could continue my career when the opportunities and opportunities come along.
I have been working hard because I am always learning. However, if I had more experience and less time because I wanted to, I would be happy. The last thing I want to do in my life now is stop playing on my own.

The Student Review (Review Form) was an experiment I had to finish after a few months. There were so many ideas, that the whole project was too big and too complicated to just make up my mind. After writing that review, I was inspired to do it as a final project: so many things were said in the final questionnaire which didn’t fit me. To be honest, that took a bit of work. I am very proud that I was able to write a good test which is why I am so happy I don’t make excuses for the problems caused by poor data.
When I did the Final Exam, it was a very hard decision. I received a very negative response from the teacher, and I did not want to repeat that as long as I was on the course. To be honest with you, I did not get to go through that for three weeks. It’s because of that that I do not feel good every day. In fact, my physical problems are still happening but I have a very bright future now. I know that being on the road in the U of I was unable to complete all the homework that I needed to do so I lost focus. Although I felt terrible about getting discouraged, I had to go through it to get to the next target.
The Results:
Now that the Final Exam was done, I got a good report from the professor who was able to talk me through the issues raised. I wasn’t getting any real problems so I will just say that the test actually helped me to not only be fully motivated to do better. The teacher is very good at explaining things and I learned a lot about the student. The teachers, as such, gave me tons of information about the student and how he would improve. Overall, I am feeling much better on time. I believe I will get closer to the project goal and hope to graduate when I graduate from college.
