In the beginning of each year

I tell myself I will do well

Promising to do all my homework

Never skip any class

Turn in my work on time

Be prepared

And the reality hits me hard

Life just runs away

All those reasonable promises seem to disappear

Instead of starting on my homework, 

I really need to finish watching that episode on netflix

I really need to check my Instagram likes

I really need to go catch up with my friend at Starbucks

I really need to live my life…

And then just like that it’s the night of

No sleep, just work

1am

2am.

Pretty soon its 4 in the morning

My homework is done

But just barely

The minimum is complete 

How is this good?

How is it okay?

Life gets in the way of schoolwork

Ugh, I am a procrastinator
