Is there a reason to procrastination?
I've been putting off the submission for my honours programme, getting the forms for my PR application, applying for IETLS, and much recently applying for a scholarship. I guess it's not so much of laziness. I've never seen myself as a lazy person in general, I mean everyone has their lazy moments in life. I think it's been because I've been reluctant to move on. Doing all these things made things seem so... fast?grown up? I'm not sure.
But last night, as I browsed through the application for honours, I realised that the longer I procrastinated for whatever reason, the more difficult it would become in the future. I would have missed the dateline for the scholarship, I would have no time to finish my PR application, IETLS will be fully booked, and I may not get to do honours just because I was late. So I decided not to be so foolish and think about how hard life will become or by how much life will change, but to take the steps necessary now so that life will not be more hard. Does that make any sense?
I wish I could be a kid again. Parents would make the decisions, teachers would motivate me to study, tutors would help me where I can't help myself, and all of them will tell me what to do next, where to go, how to do things, what I need help in, and what I'm good at. All I need to do is be there.
