In high school, I once procrastinated on a history project that had been assigned weeks in advance. Although I had known about the assignment for over a month, I kept putting it off, telling myself that I worked better under pressure. As the deadline approached, I became increasingly anxious but still didn’t start until the night before it was due. I stayed up all night writing, I felt stress, and managed to submit the paper just minutes before the deadline. While I surprisingly received a decent grade, the experience was mentally and physically exhausting. It was a horrible experience.
