<p>So here I am, less than 24 hours before my next app is due.
And I'm on CC. And Facebook. And my email. And everything BUT my college apps.</p>
<p>Deadlines are looming; my first deadline for which the supplement is not complete pops up on the second.
I am a procrastinator. I know it.
Nonetheless, I am having a very hard time motivating myself. I KNOW that I need to do my apps...but I've also already been accepted to a safety that I love and that offered me a nice little scholarship. I'm applying EDII to my top choice and it seems pointless to even waste an iota of my time on my other apps.
Which, of course, is stupid. I'm a logical person - I know that in actuality my other apps are VERY important as my top choice is by no means a shoo-in. Still, I feel stuck in a vortex of laziness, rashness, and apathy. Even though I logically know that it's a bad idea.</p>
<p>I mostly just wanted to get that out, but also I wanted to know if anyone is in the same boat as me. How many seniors have procrastinated, or have spent the last few days getting frustrated as they tried to work on apps but were unproductive?
Am I alone in my foolishness, or does anyone want to commiserate?</p>
<p>Right there with you, except I finally submitted everything today. I forced myself to go to the library and finish all my essays yesterday. It took six hours, but now I’m glad it’s all over. I usually procrastinate on everything, but I thrive under pressure.</p>
<p>You aren’t alone in your foolishness, but commiserating with others in the same boat as you now would be the exact wrong thing to do. It’s crunch time. Don’t look for distractions. Focus on the task at hand.</p>
<p>Just try to remember that after you finish this crap, you’re a SECOND SEMESTER SENIOR WITH NO MORE COLLEGE APPS TO DO!!! It’s like when you’re studying for finals, or AP tests, or whatever–you’ve just gotta suck it up and study very hard, because you’ll be all done soon.</p>
<p>I know it’s harder said than done (haha that’s why I’m on CC giving you advice rather than working on my own apps). Anyway, though, good luck!!!</p>
<p>Try to focus and get a few others done. NO REGRETS…just think of what you’ll be feeling 24 hours from now…don’t ever leave yourself in the position of having to look back and feel like you should have done something. You’re young, but it’s important to consider this. When this is over, make sure you “did all you could”.</p>
<p>I’m a procrastinator too… which is why I’m on CC haha. Going to the library is definitely a good place to do apps, because there are so many people working on stuff there that I get motivated to focus too. Plus, I feel guilty when I get on FB at the library for some reason. Don’t forget! We’re almost done :)</p>
<p>Yup, I know exactly what you mean.
I just got back from a ski trip and I have a short essay to finish up.
So that’s why I’m on CC haha and facebook, and Pandora
For apps due Jan 1, what time do they need to be in?</p>
