It's a typical Wednesday night, stress is aching in your chest as yet another assignment has crept up on you and procrastination again has proven to be a major bitch in your life. What can I say, we all do it, we all find ourselves in close case, sometimes actual, panic attacks that really grab us from the gut and induce heart-like palpitations. Why do we do this? Why do we, as a community, reinforce and almost encourage procrastination among one another? It is simple: we want to do it all.
WHY?????????????????????????????
Because we're masochists. Not in a literal term, but yes, ultimately we push our limits and boundaries, put ourselves in very uncomfortable situations because we can't say no to something because we're afraid of missing out. But once you say no, OH MY GOSH it feels so good you want to say it to LITERALLY everything. Where are the breaks on this word vomit! But in all seriousness, you have to find a middle ground, and trust me when I say, "I know this is difficult" because yes, it hurts, it really does because we feel obligated to our friends, or we feel obligated to ourselves to do everything and be everything we ever wanted to be! AHHHHH it is madness. Get a grip, say no a couple times a day, but don't let that give you a reason to submit to a life of "hermitude", no that is not a word, I know. But really, cut yourself some slack, take a breath, be aware of your mental state and if you are on the edge and might fall off. Be a friend to yourself and ask, what would I advise a friend in the same situation to do. you'll find that you are way more merciful and understanding.
ANNNNND that ends my rant for the day.
