I'll figure out a title for this later....




Procrastination.... All college student goes through the "Aw, it's not due till the end of semester... I'll just do it later!" syndrome. There is nothing that inspires someone to get something done like a looming deadline.  Procrastination is the vice of the college campus that breaches across campus', nationalities, race, age, and gender.  Why do we do it? Or rather, why do we NOT do it? We can't seem to find the inspiration to get things done. In accordance with Freud, the Pleasure principle may be responsible for procrastination; humans do not prefer negative emotions, and handing off a stressful task until a further date is enjoyable. The concept that humans work best under pressure provides additional enjoyment and motivation to postponing a task.  Some psychologists state that such behavior is actually a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting or completing any task or decision. Other psychologists indicate that anxiety is just as likely to get people to start working early as late and the focus should be impulsiveness. 
Welcome to college.
