how the five stages of grief double as the five stages of procrastination
the five stages of grief procrastination:
1. denial. “i don’t have a paper. it’s not due until like a million years from now. it doesn’t even really matter anyway.”
2. bargaining. “i can totally screw this up and do good on the midterm to make up for it. it’s not like i need all A’s..”
3. anger. “why did my stupid professor assign this shitty topic anyway? who even cares about this?!”
4. depression. “i’m never going to get it done in time. i’m going to have to drop out of school and live in a box. i suck at school anyway. this whole thing is worthless.”
5. acceptance. “oh fuck, i have three hours left.. ! i guess i’ll start now.”
