In a one minute time frame, I made the awful decision to skip class since I had forgotten to do my assignment for the day. I had an entire week to complete a ONE page assignment… an entire week! I have procrastinated my entire life, but this past week was simply ridiculous. I have been out of school for what it seems to be years, last month I decided that it was time for change (and some extra cash), so I signed up for 12 credits in the not-so-local community college. the professors are excellent, the students, so far, extremely nice, but I am falling back into my old procrastinating habits.

Procrastination, in a way, since to be like alcohol. It makes you feel relaxed at the beginning but then you wake up the next morning feeling the weight of the world over your head. Even though I am not an alcoholic, I do know what it is like to suffer from an addiction. My addiction, besides sex, is food. But it is more than food, it’s the comfort that food gives me. Food not only fills the emptiness in my stomach, it also fills the emptiness in my heart. It is a known fact that brocoli will never give you the same undeniable company that a piece of chocolate cake ever would, but at the end, chocolate cake will surely give you a “muffin top”, so in a way, Procrastination since to be a lot like chocolate cake, delicious at first, with horrendous side effects.

Love, Anna
