Howdy 🤠 My most recent video is the method to my madness and how I write my papers the night before they are due. I included some free resources if you need additional guidance. ua-cam.com/video/Ma5yZwII_C0/v-deo.html Good luck on your papers 🥰🥰
Thank you for pinning the comment about the new video and for also for being an inspiration! On the one hand you're reminding me on what not to do (procrastinate, which is a huge problem for me too in certain cases in certain areas of my life) but on the other hand it's really awesome how you're so effective in writing in such a short time.
That is an interesting observation about zoomers: they have time to not drop their phone for hours and then they cry that they do not manage to do sht on time. Generation of tech is not that tech, as lazy, crying and lost. I am kinda afraid that folks like that are our future.
@@eastern2687 they didn't know better when they were young, they just got a phone shoved in their face basically. 10 years later this video happens. I struggle with phone addiction too and it's possibly one of the hardest addictions to break out of.
yea the hardest part is actually the start, where you have no sources and seems impossible to even start lol. Honestly once the initial research have been done and the outline for the whole investigation have been written its already like 40% done
I procrastinated myself into trouble plenty of times. The worst was when I failed to prepare a presentation, which would have delayed my graduation by an entire year. But then the teacher called in sick and I got another week. Angels were watching over me, I swear...
The worst part is, when you're a functional procrastinator, and you get good grades. That's the worst part, because it FEEDS back into you, since you're actually good at it. EDIT: it shocks and concerns me how many of you relate to this. god speed and good luck.
YESS! Been doing this for like 6 years. Never had a problem with grades, only my life and health suffers bc I live my life constantly stressed. But still, I got good grades with work done last minute so It doesn't matter, right!? Haha
Yes, and since you get used to only study under high stress, our brain kinda learns that that's what studying feels like, which makes us procrastinate more, to avoid that feeling. Even though it's a lot less stressful when done on small doses
i’ve once did an assignment when i was in homeroom doing my assignment the morning of and we had to present to the class and when we did, i got good feedback, senior year of high school was crazy
yep. fuck. i didn’t achieve my full potential as a result in college and i do regret it cuz i think i’d know what my passion is with a bit more certainty since i would’ve been trying harder and putting myself out there more. blah! lmao

once i procrastinated on an assignment so badly - it was REALLY big and two days out from the due date the teacher said we could all have another week fast forward to class that day. the teacher said randomly that the new due date was that day. i broke down into tears and cried all night i still haven't submitted it like three years later and it haunts my google classroom to this day
Honestly it's better to be well rested otherwise you're gonna be having a terrible time fighting the sleep and trying to write coherent sentences lmfao, where you just go fuck it and take the sleep where you'll lose time but make up for it by being rested and able to actually write
^ person above is totally right, as nervewracking as it is its better to just get some sleep otherwise you'll be up at 2am staring at the screen and trying to make your brain work and you'll either sleep thru your working hours in the morning or not sleep and be too tired to finish it
it’s so daunting but as an experienced procrastinator, it’s better to get the sleep than to try and power through it. the latter ends with you writing nonsense and falling asleep without realising it until you’ve woken up and it’s too late
Same here, when she said she's gonna go sleep I almost skipped a heartbeat cuz there's just too much painful memories of me sleeping in way longer than I should during these crunches (and fucking up everything)
I started writing my massive bachelor's thesis three days before it was due. I wrote nonstop and ended up so sleep deprived that I started halucinating and saw an old decaying woman laying on my bed from the corner of my eye lol
@@mittenvonscrufflears7233 Haha actually that was the last time I procrastinated that hard. I haven't let things get this far ever since! I think seeing that old lady was a real wake-up call for me :D :D
@srslywhatever Yes, I would hope you didn't have another bachelor's thesis due 8 days later after the last one was due and you didn't start until 3 days before it was due again. Jokes aside, I'm glad you learned from it 😂😂😂
This gave me 'nam flashbacks. My entire degree rested on a 15,000 word final dissertation, with zero words written the night before it was due. Had primary research and sources prepared, just no paper. Sheer panic, fueled by cans of monster mixed with water to prevent dehydration. Besides the pain (like your DNA is being damaged under the stress and sleep deprivation), the worst part was getting halfway through and thinking "this could've actually been good if I started this sooner". Thinking about how disappointed my family would be at 4am. 15 minutes of sleep to prevent death at 5am, got up and continued. Finished an hour before the hand in, still at digs with no time to get it bound professionally, my only hope being a long-arm stapler. 3 years and tens of thousands in fees and living costs in the hands of a fking stapler. If the staple didn't go through the pile of trash that was my dissertation it would've all been for nothing. Prayed to every god I knew as I put my entire weight down on that thing. Got to uni in absolute shambles for the hand-in with 5mins to spare. Somehow got a 2:1 on the paper - to secure a 1st overall and entrench my bad time management habit - but that night shaved several years off my life expectancy. No stress at work has ever compared. If you got this far why are you still here, go do your paper
Lmao.. U know how to describe a situation my friend... Same for me when I delay my studies just to do an all nighter before the exam... Wonder how good my works would have been if I actually tried haha
@cryptonitegaming5284 Bro I even quit gaming (I'm sure with your channel you know how tough that is) and just found other ways to procrastinate. We can't be fixed but somehow just scrape through. Good luck for your studies my friend
I can't speak for everyone, but I think I'd rather write a 20 page paper about Lithuania than have a creepy, stalking, slasher demon chasing me, catching me, and slowly killing me in agonizing pain. I don't know, might just be me
I have a 5 page essay due tomorrow...haven't started. And I'm not gonna lie, my name is Madison so when you said "Madison you're a dumbass, just do your papers before they're due." I felt that.
I graduated from uni a year ago and I cannot believe how peaceful my life is now with a full time job and work/life balance. This takes me back to 4 years of stress crying and pulling all-nighters. I never learnt from my mistakes and left things to the last minute until I graduated. Lmao
One of the most euphoric yet catastrophic feelings I’ve had was when we were turning in our senior papers, and I had rushed mine very much. When the teacher accepted the submissions, he shifted the stacks around to show their collective weight. He let out a big sigh and asked us “so, how did we all do?” To which everyone groaned. He said, “luckily I lied about the due date, everyone still has a week to refine it”. This left me with tears of joy and anguish.
i would be so pissed but that's honestly pretty smart? that way he made sure people actually have a "first draft" that they then improve on, one of the best ways to learn
In law school, I had an entire semester to work on my independent research paper. I didn't start on it until the night before. I spent 20 straight hours working on a 30+ page paper. Will never forget how my veins were filled with self-hatred, panic, pure adrenaline, and every monster energy drink. I'm so glad to be done with school... no more tests and papers to procrastinate over.
@@robele3955 no, they don’t. For most, the problem arises from the fact that they hate the work/dread it. Most people won’t keep a career in something they completely can’t stand. The reason any of us do school today is because its basically required. Its a scam. Its just another way to squeeze money out of all of us suckers willing to buy the marketing.
@@Madmetalmaniac42069 most people who go to college , pick a field their at least interested in, we do it because we need the diploma/degree to get into a field because exmployers require it even for entry level.

"If you enjoyed this video.." NO I absolutely don't!! I can completely feel the anxiety through the screen. But this video gives me a good reminder to break off my habit as a serial procrastinator, so thank you very much for making this. I also got a lot of good advices from people in the comment section. I hope none of us have to experience this kind of thing ever again.
@Jonathan Birch I'm in grad school now, but during the time I wasn't in school, I frequently woke up in a sweat and panic when I had a nightmare of doing zero work for a class and it's finals week. My biggest nightmares are school related, not falling off a building or being chased. Should probably be on meds, lol.
I once wrote an 8 page essay 2 hours before my college level English 2 class. Once in my social studies class, my group had to do a presentation on a chapter from the text book. I did most of the work and when we got to class we all found out that we needed a 15 minute introduction that none of us had written. In the span of time it took 3 groups to go in front of us, I flipped through the chapter and wrote that intro based on the subheadings in the chapter. The teacher himself clapped for us and asked if he could use it as an example in the future. It's the most impressive thing I've ever done in my life tbh.
Same with the presentation thing. Idk how but we got superpowers of bullshitting things lmao. I literally winged my entire presentation bc no one did any work so I did it on my own bc I knew I could do it. Was the only one who got above a 90 in the class (96, points taken off because I forgot a small topic)
This one time I had about 2-3 hours until my paper was due, it wasn’t bad, only about 4 pages or so but I practically went in blind with no brainstorming or general idea. I talked out of my ass the entire time and i got full credit, not a single piece of criticism 💀
during my years in university, I have learned my lesson on procrastination, and I've realized that you should always check the assignment instructions thoroughly to see for how long you can actually procrastinate before it's too late and there isn't enough time to finish it for me it's usually 3 days before the due date for me to actually start writing so that I don't lose my shit halfway in because I know I can't make it it's what I call responsible procrastination, cuz I push the task as far as I can, but not further than the "will have a panic attack" line, and I always manage to finish it
I have not yet learned that lesson because I always get good grades on my crappy work 😭 And if I get a bad grade, I still have an A in the class because I do a ton of extra credit at the beginning of the semester. One day, it will come back to bite me in the butt.
@@user-kc5de6wl8f i feel this. i know that i need to stop procrastinating... then again i just ended the semester with an A for all of my courses. how do you learn to stop procrastinating if you never get punished for it? it's frickin hard, but i know it's either i stop now, or stop after the consequences hit me. so right now im in this weird zone where im procrastinating on stopping procrastination
@@sonofben9766 if the stress isn't punishment enough then it doesn't seem to be a problem for you (masochist 😛) If it works all around then no need to worry about it. Procrastination isn't inherently a bad thing. It's the psyche's ultimate efficiency measure.
lmao I started writing 80% of my Bachelor's thesis 4 days before submission day. I wrote 30 pages in 1 day and 1 night. I send it in 10 MINUTES before submission time. It was my #3 worst time of my entire life. I didn't sleep, I couldn't eat because I felt sick of all the coffein I had to drink. Never, never, never do this guys 💀
You can't help doing it sometimes, personally I can't sit down and concentrate on it so I end up waiting until the last minute when I get enough fear and panic shoved into my body that it clicks in that I have to finish it and I'm able to hyper concentrate on only that and finish it. I wouldn't recommend it though because yeah you end up going without food, water and sleep for days until you have it finished.
Lol, this reminds me of finals week. I had a 2-week long winter break, and 1 week of school to just *ask* questions and do my work, but of course, I didn't. I eventually just gave up the night before my math final and tried to go to sleep, but woke up once every hour with a panic attack, speed-of-light heartbeat, insane difficulty breathing, and a sense that I'm going to die. 11/10 would *never* reccomend. Whenever I procrastinate I get reminded of that night and get chills.
@@yeameow Please do everything in your power to fight those urges. I too am procrastinating right now and the urge to just slice my arm open is imminent, but in the end, you have the power to fight those urges without grabbing a knife, even if you don't see it. I don't see it in myself, but I want to believe that I do.
Man I resonated so hard with this. When she said she planned to go to bed at 3-4 and get up at 10, I was like ‘nah I’ll give her 3 hours tops if any’. And then the just barely finishing and turning it in before going into hibernation and ultimately nailing a good grade. It takes me back. Getting in bed was always dangerous because it was comfy but sometimes made me super sleepy. And luckily she got up on time instead of accidentally oversleeping
@@CheeseCake5990 same I overslept a presentation some semesters back that counted for 15% of my grade, professor felt bad for me and gave me some points back but that feeling of dread waking up man. For finals I stayed up all night each night before just because my sleep schedule was so bad I couldn’t make the 8:30 am times lmao but never overslept again
@@CheeseCake5990lol just did this a few days ago!! 😂I work graveyard shift and have to be at work by 11pm. so I laid down at 8pm to get a quick nap and woke up at 11:50🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️help me Lord🤣
Whilst I am also a serial procrastinator, the most amazing thing about this video to me is her ability to actually push on and get it done. I would’ve had a horrific panic attack and literally ended up incapacitated if that was me.
That's when my procrastination habits were at their worst. When I would procrastinate so long that I just KNEW I was too frazzled to get anything substantial done. So I'd just stick a fork in it and email asking for an extension, or take the L. Happened a few times my last year of college. Don't recommend.
This brings me back to when I had to write a 20 page paper in one night because I procrastinated so hard🥲 it was a very weird experience because I was at a friend’s Christmas party in a fancy dress, having a great time, and then when it got late I was finally like “fuck, I need to go write this thing. Goodnight everyone.” (they were all well-aware of what was going on and were very sympathetic). Then I sat down at my friend’s desk and started writing. Then when I started to fall asleep sitting down, I stood up and wrote. Then when I started to fall asleep standing up, I stood on one foot and wrote. Somehow I got it done on time, and I’m pretty sure I got an A on it. Procrastinators everywhere, do not despair. It’s possible, you got this!
I once had a group project to present on the nervous system and I did my part while using the wrong chapter. I only realized my mistake like 15 minutes before class. So while other groups presented I frantically did my section during class. We got an A.
College is secretly filled by groups of students that pull 11th hour papers and professors that accept the excuses we produce for 24 hour extensions. I must thank the gods for these kind professors
I think a key point here for a lot of us procrastinators is found near the end of this video, "That wasn't my best work, that's for sure, but I finished it!" Over the years I've found that my procrastination stemmed mostly from my own ego, my worries that maybe I'm not actually as good or as smart as I'd like to think. Procrastination was a way to distance myself from my work. If I did well enough then it was proof of my intellect, but if I did badly, I always had procrastination as an excuse for my shortcomings. However, when it comes to doing my own personal projects (writing a book, etc), I don't have that pressure of the deadline to force me to do even my subpar work. I only have procrastination to protect me from discovering the truth...that maybe I'm not as "smart" or "special" as I'd want to believe. Still trying to fix this issue myself.
Hmm you know that’s really interesting. I’ve always pondered about the sources of procrastination. I once heard someone theorize that it comes from being irreverent to authority and given obligations. While that could be the case, I personally feel like that’s something more juvenile, like when you didn’t wanna do an uninteresting book report in high school and decided to read the sparknotes instead. It’s a completely different ball park when you’re in college for a field you ACTUALLY have interest in. Then that reason for procrastination is nonsensical, because I genuinely think all my classes are useful or interesting. For me I don’t know if it has to do with ego.., I was smart as a child (as I was told; I never fully believed it) but I’ve always been aware that the application of my intellect would decline with age. So regardless of what grades I get, and they’re usually over 80, I still think I’m not as smart as I’m made out to be. But the worst of it is that I’m always rewarded for my procrastination with good grades, so my brain sees so incentive to change the habit. I convince my dumbass that I work better under pressure when it’s not even necessarily true (when I look at the way I tackle my dopamine inducing hobbies it’s totally different- too much pressure or boredom completely puts me off). I guess from me it’s really a matter of brain chemistry. Procrastination permeates every aspect of my life. I do not like to sleep or eat. In fact I’ve got to consciously remind myself to eat or acknowledge cravings because I get no indication that I’m hungry until it’s too late (I start shaking). I only sleep for the prospects of having nice dreams, I love to dream, but I begrudgingly admit my body needs it. I resent having to do these things for survival when I want to do other things that are much more interesting. And it’s such a struggle to know you have obligations, wanting to do them but not being able to do anything. Makes me wanna crawl out of my skin. It’s real hell. But maybe that’s ADD
oh you're not alone in this! fear of failure is the thing holding me back as well. there's always that tiny voice in the back of my head saying that if i do it later i might be in a better headspace to do it, i might have improved on my skills until then, etc. and it all comes down to the fact that i'm afraid of being incompetent and hope that that will magically cure itself if i do it later
I have my final project due for Child Development due in 3 hours. It's a 12 page essay, a 10 minute long video, and a 50 slide presentation. We had 2 months to do this and I haven't started yet :) Edit: I got it in like 10 seconds before the assignment was locked. It wasn't very good. Edit 2: It took forever but I got the results. I got a 73% :).
Here are some tips I've learned from procrastinating long essays: 1. Quantity over quality. Focus on meeting the required lengths/word count so you at least have something to turn in, before using the extra time to polish your essay. 2. Write down whatever you think of. Even if it's the kind of thing you'd delete once you look back at your writings. We're out of time so we need to focus on turning in the assignment on time, so write down everything. It's like writing a story. If it's about a meet cute at a coffee shop, you don't need to start with the girl's morning routine, how she chooses her outfit, how she borrows her dad's car to drive there because her sister is using her car... These are all unnecessary details, BUT, if you're trying to meet a certain word count, then you're going to need these. Do the same for your essay. Write down ALL the unnecessary details and polish them later if you have time. A C+ grade is better than a F because you didn't turn it in on time. 3. Organize your essay into paragraphs and write an opening/thesis sentence for each paragraph and assign it a specific word count first before writing anything else. This way you'll know how many words to write for each paragraph in order to meet the word count requirement, and it'll help you organizing your thought process because all-nighters tend to make you forget where you plan on going with a certain idea. TL/DR: Quantity over quality. Your goal is to reach the word count requirement. Worry about its quality after you have something to turn in.

This video literally just became my motivation to stop procrastinating. It's about to be 6 and I've wasted around 2 hours, but thank god the algorithm recommended this to me, and I came to the realisation that procrastination is the worst thing ever. Every time I get lazy, I plan on looking back to this video, and thanks Madison for your sacrifice and providing us this video, which I am sure will help tons of people.
This video gave me flashbacks. Whew. That was me high school, college. Normally I'd break down at some point during the night while working on it. Procrastination has been one of my biggest struggles. I can also relate to generally getting decent grades from my panic papers/projects, but it's like I tortured myself when I didn't have to. Craziness.
Honestly I've always had procastination problems but great a attention span. So I would always procastinate until the night and then just spend like 5 hours without breaks and finish it. Music is a great motivator too.
Ive procrastinated to the point of sleep deprivation, and many mental breakdowns. Props to you for actually getting through it bc I just cry and accept that I wont be doing it.
I almost did that, when I had a 10 page paper due at 12. It was 7:15. I looked at the tv and I was like, it would be so much easier to just watch tv and not do this paper. But then I realized I’d fail the class and got myself to do it.
I just submitted my 60,000 word QE (qualifying exam) dissertation for PhD this morning which I wrote in bloody 7 days fueled by anger, spite, jealousy, insecurity and loads of sugar. I physically felt enlightenment as I hit the send button. Now waiting for my dear (note the sarcasm) supervisor to check it and send it back for editing and correcting. To be honest, I just had to write the infernal thing as I had all my notes, data, chapter outlines ready and I am still a good month away from submission deadline. But it was hell, nonetheless. RIP my body as I can barely move today. I wish I had found this video a week back so I wouldn't have felt so alone. Procrastination is bad, but I know I am going to do it again next year for the final PhD dissertation..lol Edit: This was a very dangerous gamble and I strongly advise against it if you value your overall health. Best of luck my fellow grad students!
I once started an assignment as the teacher was collecting it. It was homework for 8th-grade science class, so it didn't hold that much weight, but the scenario itself was exhilarating. I had to write 24 definitions on Quizlet to match 24 images about the chapter we were covering that week. When I realized I was about 1 minute away from having nothing, I frantically began writing down definitions. By the time she got to me, I only had around 7 or 8 definitions completed. I was doing it on my phone since I didn't have my laptop open yet and she was just checking for completion, but that may have helped me. When she came to check mine, I started at the top, scrolled through the first few, then quickly scrolled all the way to the bottom, and instantly went back up. The blank definitions and images didn't fully load, so she couldn't see that they were incomplete. Once I scrolled back to the top, I just stayed there. She just nodded her head and went to the next person. I got a 100% on that assignment.

I strive to someday possess the skill to earn a 90+ grade on an essay that wasn't my best work. Thank you for posting this, we all in this struggle together!!!
Honestly the worst part for me is when I actually start the paper the night before it’s due and I still spend the whole time trying to do anything but write it. I’m infuriated but I just can’t stay focused
The best paper I ever wrote has an insane backstory to it. It was Writing and Rhetoric II and I was 18, we had to write a paper about our towns history and base it off of our own research from historical places in our town (I chose my topic related to medicine which I was warned by my professor that it was a total pain in the ass). The paper I ended up writing was a 200/200 and was given praise from my school. My professor even recommended that I submitted to the downtown library to have a chance at having something officially published made by me…and I was the fourth best essay out of over 70 submissions, but unfortunately they only wanted the top two. Now here’s the kicker. Since this was my second semester, my young fuck-all attitude got to me saying “it’s just two months of work and all I need is a week, I’ll be fine”…well a week turned into twenty-six hours and I had NOTHING. So basically I speedrun the fuck out of my essay and research, literally breaking PB’s and finding new strays to lower my time on the fastest essay I ever wrote…my favorite part was arriving at one of our historical hospitals at 2AM asking for research (thank god their history was plastered all over the building). I ended up finishing the essay with NINE MINUTES to turn it in and all I could really think of was “well…I met expectations”.
this is very badass and also relatable and sounds like something i would do down to the getting a perfect grade on 2am bullshit ramblings😭 i don't know how i get away with this shit
I’m so feeling this. I wrote my bachelors thesis in 2 days and I didn’t sleep at all. I went on vacation right after and fell asleep on the plane to be woken up by the flight crew after we were already on the ground (3 hours later) and the plane had already emptied. How I could actually sleep through a plane landing and offloading is still beyond me cause up until that point I never even been able to sleep mid air. Guess I was tired 😂
I once got upgraded to business class with membership points, but then I slept through the whole thing (6 hours flight), skipped all the meals didn't even turn on my screen. Apparently the flight attendant tried to wake me up for food but I was simply dead, so basically my first ever business class experience was water and a more padded seat.
Literally did this for my senior thesis. Started writing it at 11 PM the night before, finished it half an hour before it was due, at 7 AM the following morning. Got a 93%. Procrastination squad gets it done…eventually!!!
The worst part about procrastination is that you get REWARDED for your crappy work. We tend to get decent or good grades regardless. We delude ourselves into thinking we work better under pressure. So there’s really no incentive for the brain to break the habit. It’s hell, really.

depends on the topic and what it is required of you, it's not the same having to analyze and interpret data in a professional field about a complex subject as it is for searching for an historical event with widely known information that is easy to access, and just present it in a cohesive manner with some correlations here and there.

@@timcoop4597 thankfully I was able to get through it. I submitted the 10 page paper around 12am. Then I worked on the 5-7 page paper and finished it around 6am. My professor was very understanding so I didn’t get any deductions even though my second paper was submitted late. I was so grateful !
Like everyone else in the comments, my horrible yet unbreakable habit of procrastination brought me here in a desperate call for help. I have a 8 page research paper that was due 4 days ago but got an extension for until yesterday (technically 2 days ago since its now 5am lmao). And here I am with a million things overdue + 2 exams a day from now and this paper still extra overdue. My ADHD is the bane of my existence
ADHD is literally not even an excuse for that. My entire family + my boyfriend have ADHD. When you get an extension because you already messed up, you don’t just wait until the last minute, again. That’s you making bad choices, that’s not ADHD, and it’s inexcusable
@@kiavalo bro. Even ADHD is on a spectrum and everyone within it has different symptoms and different severities. You can’t just blame them and say it’s all their fault. You think they aren’t worried? You think they don’t want to do well? You think they haven’t tried?? How ignorant, it seems like you don’t even know how it’s like at all.
@@mynamo12 you talk as if ADHD is some uncontrollable thing. As if there isn’t medicine for it. If you actually took the time to sit down, and forced yourself to sit there for 4 hours without the ability to do ANYTHING other than work, you wouldn’t get a single thing done? The fact that she was able to finish the project in one night only to get a 90 is proof that it’s an excuse to not do it for weeks at a time. It’s bad life choices, it’s not ADHD.
@@kiavalo it IS uncontrollable in some ways, and controllable in others. Medication isn’t a magic cure. I am on meds and it doesn’t help me completely, actually it doesn’t even help me with most symptoms, only some! “Took the time” “Forced yourself” You clearly know nothing about ADHD. Even if I do sit down and work, I often have trouble focusing, and before I even realize it I start playing with my fingernails for an hour straight before I snap out of it. So no, even that doesn’t mean you will work.
As someone with ADHD, this is too relatable! Props to you for learning your lesson (even though we never do, let’s be real) and still being able to get it done with a 94. You did that!
As someone who dropped out of college twice, my advice for anyone with something due tomorrow is to watch 5 minutes of this and then go do one page! Basically get some of your own work done, don’t just binge videos cuz it’s gotta get done!! ♥️♥️♥️
Hey I just wanted to thank you for this. I felt really proud when you finished AND EVEN PROUDER WHEN I HEARD YOUR GRADE. I know the feeling not doing your best work but I enjoyed the realness. It takes me so long to write essays. I’m watching these videos because I thought I procrastinated (I have 3 days until my essay) but with your time crunch I feel better. If you can do it I definitely can. Also, I’m gonna be stealing that cold spoon trick.
I once pulled an all-nighter to write a 30 page Poli Sci final which was due at 9:00 AM the next morning. I had to have my mom drive me to campus (40 minute drive btw) so I could turn it in and THEN take another final for a history class. I got As in both classes but holy shit would I never do that again. The functional procrastinator curse is real and I think it took like 5 years off my life lol.
I’m so proud of you. I have a research paper, 20-30 pages long due tomorrow and I’ve only written my student number 💀💀💀. Let me get up and start typing. Who knows, might also get a 94😂
The best paper I've ever wrote was done within 12 hours before the deadline and I got the whole freaking semester to do it 🤣, like it was the best thing ever (my prof still use my assignment as an example for the junior student until today, 3 years after I graduate from Uni ), human brain is really something isn't it LoL
Exactly. I was able to complete a PowerPoint on diesel engines the day before it was due. It came out better than if I started it a couple of days prior
The fact that she had to write a 20 page essay AND RECORD THIS IS FUCKING CRAZY. I remember i had to write papers for my college classes and feeling the DREAD writing them. I could never wait the day before to finish a paper 😫
to anyone who procrastinates to this extent: it might be worth getting an evaluation for adhd. For real I got diagnosed at 18, and when I tell you I thought I was destined to be a burnout, I felt like no matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop being a failure of a person. I started meds for it (you're allowed to only take them on days you feel like it, which I really like) & I'm soon to start behavioral therapy to help find & build some habits that work for me on an individual scale. Life has gotten so much easier and more manageable. I could've never imagined how much better it could be. It's always worth seeing someone and finding out if there's a reason you're struggling 💖
Absolutely, this was me for nearly every big assignment in college, aside from maybe group work. I procrastinated so bad, I waited until my FINAL SEMESTER of college to get diagnosed.
honestly i probably have adhd but my mom says "im too young" for illnesses. im 14. and, offtopic but, my 26 year old brother has had some pain on his appendix and he told my mom like, "oh it might be appendicitis or something" and she just laughed and said "you young people can't have that" like... 😧
Procrastinating sucks, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't the best feeling in the world when you pull off the all nighter and get a 90 + on your assignment.
wow sis!!! i’m sooo PROUD of you!! i wasn’t sure what was gonna happen, but YOU DID IT!!!! this gives me a TON of hope that i will start and finish my senior (undergrad) capstone research paper! it’s due in 9 days and it has to be 25-35 pages long!! anyway, bless you!
These sentiments were me 100% throughout college. Every single paper, big exam, final project I always started the night before and all nighted into the day of the class--zero sleep. I never got overwhelmed enough to be pushed to tears because I did this SO often. I always knew I had ADHD, but I had no health insurance at the time or knew that there were resources that could help me. The hardest thing for me to pass was math. I had to take a reduced schedule just so I could focus on ONE class. I would drink redbulls/rockstar energy drinks and get all pumped up and let the adrenaline take over. Now I am 30 and was recently properly diagnosed with ADHD. I'm just glad I survived college and now have a "real job." I wish I could have gotten a masters, and the thought of getting one still appeals to me, but idk if I could get through a Master's if I was barely able to get my BA.
I'm a year removed from university, I work overtime sometimes but it's nowhere near the level of overwork and stress I experienced in uni. This entire video was like a horror film, flashbacks to some godawful all nighters. Some of that is def self inflicted, but the quantity of work itself was so much more at uni than at work. Thankful to be done lol. Edit: The worst part about procrastinating is how good you can get at it. I maintained solid grades and that just fed into the bad habits lol
I come back to watch this video every time I have a paper due that I, once again, procrastinated on. right after I give myself the "you better not ever put work off this last minute ever again" spiel, I always end up right back here 😌 thanks for the oddly motivating video. it surprisingly comes in clutch when my work ethic refuses to lol
I'm back to announce that I ended up procrastinating so hard on the above mentioned research paper that I did the math and realized I had 12 minutes to write each page in order to make the deadline, so I quicksilvered that shit and laugh/cried myself through it. I got a B. Nice! Why am I back here so soon? I procrastinated again and need more motivation. it's due tomorrow 🤪. hate myself asdfghjkl;
I feel so connected to this video title! When I was 21 I got the date for my Bachelor Thesis wrong, found out on a Sunday afternoon that I had until Thursday afternoon to write it, print it out and get it into the university office before closing time. I thought I had nearly 2 months left and had not even written a single page (I had to write 50). The only finished thing was the structure and a download folder full of academic papers I had previously saved. In the coming days I nearly went crazy because of the lack of sleep and I couldn’t look at coffee for a long time afterwards. Still one of my proudest accomplishments that I managed to finish it and got a B for it. Haven‘t learned my lesson though and things like this still happen in my life unfortunately (though not to that extent) 😅
@@maddsvlogs doctorates are funded mostly so you get paid to do it by the school. You just have to talk yourself into writing a 300-400 page dissertation
Every time I’m getting last minute work done, (such as right now)I put your videos on in the background so I don’t feel alone. Thanks for the inspiration.
Currently writing my first ever thesis (30 pages/ 15 000 words) - it’s due on Monday. I have procrastinated - gotten an extension - and continued to procrastinate. Thank you for this realistic video because I’m so over myself and I don’t understand what’s wrong with me. You’ve given me the motivation to just get it together haha. I hope you’re doing well 🤍
I also have to face to write research paper and yeah ready for the presentation of my own research.. But watching this really motivates me as well.. Camon we can do this!🤍
I just wanna wish everyone who is currently going through this the best luck and I hope you get the best result possible given your current situation. I'm a engineering student and I have a calculus III exam tomorrow which I haven't studied for at all :)))
I was about to comment the same; I got diagnosed right before college graduation, and it explained sooooo much for me. (Though it was too late, in many ways. 😂) In any case, really grateful you depicted this so honestly. Every assignment submitted as a procrastinator is an accomplishment: to live this weekly for YEARS takes more resilience than people realize. It can take a toll on you, too. I hope you’re gentle with yourself for that and I hope we all find ways to a more sustainable pace. 💛
I did this my whole life lol And I was diagnosed with ADHD last year- the thing is that we THRIVE AT THE LAST MINUTE! Seriously, maybe something to look into cause this is peak executive dysfunction
I did my 15000 word Masters Dissertation in the 4 days before it was due - handed it in 10 mins before the deadline, the moment I finished writing up the references. That was all the writing and all the research. Got a distinction - the stress still wasn't worth it.
This is classic executive functioning disorder aka ADHD. It's kinda sad how this issue can deteriorate a life. Congratulations on the stellar grade and thanks for making this video.
I’m a Psych major in college, and have been diagnosed with ADHD for at least a decade now. This certainly looks like dysfunctional execution, although I can’t confirm it either. I know I’ve had my fair share of situations like these, but I always somehow end up over performing due to the time pressure.
Howdy 🤠

On the one hand you're reminding me on what not to do (procrastinate, which is a huge problem for me too in certain cases in certain areas of my life) but on the other hand it's really awesome how you're so effective in writing in such a short time.

Hello! 🤣🤣😭😭 grateful for this reminder!
Being able to write a 20 page essay in under 24 hours is an admirable skill tbh
All you gotta do is write one page per hour, ez 🤷♂️😂
yea the hardest part is actually the start, where you have no sources and seems impossible to even start lol. Honestly once the initial research have been done and the outline for the whole investigation have been written its already like 40% done
you’re not gonna be awake for all 24hrs

I procrastinated myself into trouble plenty of times. The worst was when I failed to prepare a presentation, which would have delayed my graduation by an entire year. But then the teacher called in sick and I got another week. Angels were watching over me, I swear...
Dang that was lucky!
Holy Shit you aren’t kidding 🤣🤣🤣
Don’t lie, you poisoned the teacher… 👁️
Yo that’s so luckkyyy
LMAO
The worst part is, when you're a functional procrastinator, and you get good grades. That's the worst part, because it FEEDS back into you, since you're actually good at it.
EDIT: it shocks and concerns me how many of you relate to this. god speed and good luck.
YESS! Been doing this for like 6 years. Never had a problem with grades, only my life and health suffers bc I live my life constantly stressed. But still, I got good grades with work done last minute so It doesn't matter, right!? Haha
Yes, and since you get used to only study under high stress, our brain kinda learns that that's what studying feels like, which makes us procrastinate more, to avoid that feeling. Even though it's a lot less stressful when done on small doses
RIGHT!!! You’re like “eh I’ve done it before I can do it again”
i’ve once did an assignment when i was in homeroom doing my assignment the morning of and we had to present to the class and when we did, i got good feedback, senior year of high school was crazy
yep. fuck. i didn’t achieve my full potential as a result in college and i do regret it cuz i think i’d know what my passion is with a bit more certainty since i would’ve been trying harder and putting myself out there more. blah! lmao
I can't believe I'm procrastinating by watching someone procrastinate right now.

once i procrastinated on an assignment so badly - it was REALLY big and two days out from the due date the teacher said we could all have another week
fast forward to class that day. the teacher said randomly that the new due date was that day.
i broke down into tears and cried all night
i still haven't submitted it like three years later and it haunts my google classroom to this day
20 more pages due in 12 hours and you’re planning a 7 hour sleep 😭 honestly props to you, this is impressive stuff
Honestly it's better to be well rested otherwise you're gonna be having a terrible time fighting the sleep and trying to write coherent sentences lmfao, where you just go fuck it and take the sleep where you'll lose time but make up for it by being rested and able to actually write
^ person above is totally right, as nervewracking as it is its better to just get some sleep otherwise you'll be up at 2am staring at the screen and trying to make your brain work and you'll either sleep thru your working hours in the morning or not sleep and be too tired to finish it
It’s not impressive. Procrastination is no joke and bad
it’s so daunting but as an experienced procrastinator, it’s better to get the sleep than to try and power through it. the latter ends with you writing nonsense and falling asleep without realising it until you’ve woken up and it’s too late
@@momonomay3011 hmm that is controversial .. I agree the sleep needs to happen with the last 24 hours, but 12 is cutting it fineee
I know I'm a pro procrastinator because I genuinely had a sigh of relief when she said it was due at 1 pm

Saw your comment, now, Bye, off to write my persona statement
This gave me 'nam flashbacks. My entire degree rested on a 15,000 word final dissertation, with zero words written the night before it was due. Had primary research and sources prepared, just no paper. Sheer panic, fueled by cans of monster mixed with water to prevent dehydration. Besides the pain (like your DNA is being damaged under the stress and sleep deprivation), the worst part was getting halfway through and thinking "this could've actually been good if I started this sooner". Thinking about how disappointed my family would be at 4am. 15 minutes of sleep to prevent death at 5am, got up and continued. Finished an hour before the hand in, still at digs with no time to get it bound professionally, my only hope being a long-arm stapler. 3 years and tens of thousands in fees and living costs in the hands of a fking stapler. If the staple didn't go through the pile of trash that was my dissertation it would've all been for nothing. Prayed to every god I knew as I put my entire weight down on that thing. Got to uni in absolute shambles for the hand-in with 5mins to spare. Somehow got a 2:1 on the paper - to secure a 1st overall and entrench my bad time management habit - but that night shaved several years off my life expectancy. No stress at work has ever compared. If you got this far why are you still here, go do your paper
Lmao.. U know how to describe a situation my friend... Same for me when I delay my studies just to do an all nighter before the exam... Wonder how good my works would have been if I actually tried haha

One of the most euphoric yet catastrophic feelings I’ve had was when we were turning in our senior papers, and I had rushed mine very much. When the teacher accepted the submissions, he shifted the stacks around to show their collective weight. He let out a big sigh and asked us “so, how did we all do?” To which everyone groaned. He said, “luckily I lied about the due date, everyone still has a week to refine it”.
This left me with tears of joy and anguish.
That’s evil
i would be so pissed but that's honestly pretty smart? that way he made sure people actually have a "first draft" that they then improve on, one of the best ways to learn

I graduated college over a decade ago and I still have nightmares about being in scenarios like this.
My gosh me too!!! 🤦🏽♀️
@Jonathan Birch I'm in grad school now, but during the time I wasn't in school, I frequently woke up in a sweat and panic when I had a nightmare of doing zero work for a class and it's finals week. My biggest nightmares are school related, not falling off a building or being chased. Should probably be on meds, lol.
So, don’t be in scenarios like this?? You know, do work earlier???
I once wrote an 8 page essay 2 hours before my college level English 2 class. Once in my social studies class, my group had to do a presentation on a chapter from the text book. I did most of the work and when we got to class we all found out that we needed a 15 minute introduction that none of us had written. In the span of time it took 3 groups to go in front of us, I flipped through the chapter and wrote that intro based on the subheadings in the chapter. The teacher himself clapped for us and asked if he could use it as an example in the future. It's the most impressive thing I've ever done in my life tbh.
Please 😂😂 the way this happened to me too 😂😂💀💀We lucked out with the order, so we had time to prepare before our turn LMAOO
Oh my god! I wish I had your superpower, I procrastinate way too much and I space out a lot.
Same with the presentation thing. Idk how but we got superpowers of bullshitting things lmao. I literally winged my entire presentation bc no one did any work so I did it on my own bc I knew I could do it. Was the only one who got above a 90 in the class (96, points taken off because I forgot a small topic)
Bravo
This one time I had about 2-3 hours until my paper was due, it wasn’t bad, only about 4 pages or so but I practically went in blind with no brainstorming or general idea. I talked out of my ass the entire time and i got full credit, not a single piece of criticism 💀
this video makes me uncomfortable simply because i know exactly what this feels like and what she's going through.
I always tell myself “imagine how much more intelligent I could be if I just actually planned and did my papers accordingly?”
during my years in university, I have learned my lesson on procrastination, and I've realized that you should always check the assignment instructions thoroughly to see for how long you can actually procrastinate before it's too late and there isn't enough time to finish it
for me it's usually 3 days before the due date for me to actually start writing so that I don't lose my shit halfway in because I know I can't make it
it's what I call responsible procrastination, cuz I push the task as far as I can, but not further than the "will have a panic attack" line, and I always manage to finish it
I have not yet learned that lesson because I always get good grades on my crappy work 😭 And if I get a bad grade, I still have an A in the class because I do a ton of extra credit at the beginning of the semester. One day, it will come back to bite me in the butt.
@@user-kc5de6wl8f i feel this. i know that i need to stop procrastinating... then again i just ended the semester with an A for all of my courses. how do you learn to stop procrastinating if you never get punished for it? it's frickin hard, but i know it's either i stop now, or stop after the consequences hit me. so right now im in this weird zone where im procrastinating on stopping procrastination
@@sonofben9766 if the stress isn't punishment enough then it doesn't seem to be a problem for you (masochist 😛)
If it works all around then no need to worry about it. Procrastination isn't inherently a bad thing. It's the psyche's ultimate efficiency measure.
Same here
There's a name for this? I noticed that for a 5 page paper I could responsibly start and finish a paper within a 3 to 4 day time period.
lmao I started writing 80% of my Bachelor's thesis 4 days before submission day. I wrote 30 pages in 1 day and 1 night. I send it in 10 MINUTES before submission time. It was my #3 worst time of my entire life. I didn't sleep, I couldn't eat because I felt sick of all the coffein I had to drink. Never, never, never do this guys 💀
Time feels unreal sometimes. I keep procrastinating until it actually hits me and then I freak out 🙄
You can't help doing it sometimes, personally I can't sit down and concentrate on it so I end up waiting until the last minute when I get enough fear and panic shoved into my body that it clicks in that I have to finish it and I'm able to hyper concentrate on only that and finish it. I wouldn't recommend it though because yeah you end up going without food, water and sleep for days until you have it finished.
Lol, this reminds me of finals week. I had a 2-week long winter break, and 1 week of school to just *ask* questions and do my work, but of course, I didn't. I eventually just gave up the night before my math final and tried to go to sleep, but woke up once every hour with a panic attack, speed-of-light heartbeat, insane difficulty breathing, and a sense that I'm going to die. 11/10 would *never* reccomend. Whenever I procrastinate I get reminded of that night and get chills.
and then u start thinking abt all the bad things that has happened recently so u pick up the knife and finally do the ultimate choice 😭✊🏽
@@yeameow Please do everything in your power to fight those urges. I too am procrastinating right now and the urge to just slice my arm open is imminent, but in the end, you have the power to fight those urges without grabbing a knife, even if you don't see it. I don't see it in myself, but I want to believe that I do.
Man I resonated so hard with this. When she said she planned to go to bed at 3-4 and get up at 10, I was like ‘nah I’ll give her 3 hours tops if any’. And then the just barely finishing and turning it in before going into hibernation and ultimately nailing a good grade. It takes me back. Getting in bed was always dangerous because it was comfy but sometimes made me super sleepy. And luckily she got up on time instead of accidentally oversleeping
Yeah the risk of oversleeping is scary. I have overslept important things before. Horrible feeling!
@@CheeseCake5990 same I overslept a presentation some semesters back that counted for 15% of my grade, professor felt bad for me and gave me some points back but that feeling of dread waking up man. For finals I stayed up all night each night before just because my sleep schedule was so bad I couldn’t make the 8:30 am times lmao but never overslept again
@@CheeseCake5990lol just did this a few days ago!! 😂I work graveyard shift and have to be at work by 11pm. so I laid down at 8pm to get a quick nap and woke up at 11:50🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️help me Lord🤣
Whilst I am also a serial procrastinator, the most amazing thing about this video to me is her ability to actually push on and get it done. I would’ve had a horrific panic attack and literally ended up incapacitated if that was me.
That's when my procrastination habits were at their worst. When I would procrastinate so long that I just KNEW I was too frazzled to get anything substantial done. So I'd just stick a fork in it and email asking for an extension, or take the L. Happened a few times my last year of college. Don't recommend.
This brings me back to when I had to write a 20 page paper in one night because I procrastinated so hard🥲 it was a very weird experience because I was at a friend’s Christmas party in a fancy dress, having a great time, and then when it got late I was finally like “fuck, I need to go write this thing. Goodnight everyone.” (they were all well-aware of what was going on and were very sympathetic). Then I sat down at my friend’s desk and started writing. Then when I started to fall asleep sitting down, I stood up and wrote. Then when I started to fall asleep standing up, I stood on one foot and wrote. Somehow I got it done on time, and I’m pretty sure I got an A on it. Procrastinators everywhere, do not despair. It’s possible, you got this!
I love your rhyme 😹
@@maddsvlogs can we read the paper??
@@alybean4211 absolutely not 😹😹
You are superhuman.
I’m sure you had changed before you wrote it but picturing you in a fancy dress furiously typing while standing on one foot is so funny
I once had a group project to present on the nervous system and I did my part while using the wrong chapter. I only realized my mistake like 15 minutes before class. So while other groups presented I frantically did my section during class. We got an A.

This is how you know school is bullshit
this is either proof that you're a genius who works incredibly well under pressure, or that school is a scam
College is secretly filled by groups of students that pull 11th hour papers and professors that accept the excuses we produce for 24 hour extensions. I must thank the gods for these kind professors
I think a key point here for a lot of us procrastinators is found near the end of this video, "That wasn't my best work, that's for sure, but I finished it!"
Over the years I've found that my procrastination stemmed mostly from my own ego, my worries that maybe I'm not actually as good or as smart as I'd like to think. Procrastination was a way to distance myself from my work. If I did well enough then it was proof of my intellect, but if I did badly, I always had procrastination as an excuse for my shortcomings. However, when it comes to doing my own personal projects (writing a book, etc), I don't have that pressure of the deadline to force me to do even my subpar work. I only have procrastination to protect me from discovering the truth...that maybe I'm not as "smart" or "special" as I'd want to believe. Still trying to fix this issue myself.
Hmm you know that’s really interesting. I’ve always pondered about the sources of procrastination. I once heard someone theorize that it comes from being irreverent to authority and given obligations. While that could be the case, I personally feel like that’s something more juvenile, like when you didn’t wanna do an uninteresting book report in high school and decided to read the sparknotes instead. It’s a completely different ball park when you’re in college for a field you ACTUALLY have interest in. Then that reason for procrastination is nonsensical, because I genuinely think all my classes are useful or interesting.
For me I don’t know if it has to do with ego.., I was smart as a child (as I was told; I never fully believed it) but I’ve always been aware that the application of my intellect would decline with age. So regardless of what grades I get, and they’re usually over 80, I still think I’m not as smart as I’m made out to be. But the worst of it is that I’m always rewarded for my procrastination with good grades, so my brain sees so incentive to change the habit. I convince my dumbass that I work better under pressure when it’s not even necessarily true (when I look at the way I tackle my dopamine inducing hobbies it’s totally different- too much pressure or boredom completely puts me off).
I guess from me it’s really a matter of brain chemistry. Procrastination permeates every aspect of my life. I do not like to sleep or eat. In fact I’ve got to consciously remind myself to eat or acknowledge cravings because I get no indication that I’m hungry until it’s too late (I start shaking). I only sleep for the prospects of having nice dreams, I love to dream, but I begrudgingly admit my body needs it. I resent having to do these things for survival when I want to do other things that are much more interesting. And it’s such a struggle to know you have obligations, wanting to do them but not being able to do anything. Makes me wanna crawl out of my skin. It’s real hell. But maybe that’s ADD
oh you're not alone in this! fear of failure is the thing holding me back as well. there's always that tiny voice in the back of my head saying that if i do it later i might be in a better headspace to do it, i might have improved on my skills until then, etc. and it all comes down to the fact that i'm afraid of being incompetent and hope that that will magically cure itself if i do it later
God, these comments are windows into unpleasant parts of ourselves

Edit 2: It took forever but I got the results. I got a 73% :).
oh dear D: are you alright ??that sounds like alot !
Honestly at least u handed something in
Bish whatttt
How??? How did you do that???
@@Amarox3000 The motivation knowing that if I didn't turn it in I would fail the course. And lots of coffee.
Here are some tips I've learned from procrastinating long essays:
1. Quantity over quality. Focus on meeting the required lengths/word count so you at least have something to turn in, before using the extra time to polish your essay.
2. Write down whatever you think of. Even if it's the kind of thing you'd delete once you look back at your writings. We're out of time so we need to focus on turning in the assignment on time, so write down everything. It's like writing a story. If it's about a meet cute at a coffee shop, you don't need to start with the girl's morning routine, how she chooses her outfit, how she borrows her dad's car to drive there because her sister is using her car... These are all unnecessary details, BUT, if you're trying to meet a certain word count, then you're going to need these. Do the same for your essay. Write down ALL the unnecessary details and polish them later if you have time. A C+ grade is better than a F because you didn't turn it in on time.
3. Organize your essay into paragraphs and write an opening/thesis sentence for each paragraph and assign it a specific word count first before writing anything else. This way you'll know how many words to write for each paragraph in order to meet the word count requirement, and it'll help you organizing your thought process because all-nighters tend to make you forget where you plan on going with a certain idea.
TL/DR: Quantity over quality. Your goal is to reach the word count requirement. Worry about its quality after you have something to turn in.

This video gave me flashbacks. Whew. That was me high school, college. Normally I'd break down at some point during the night while working on it. Procrastination has been one of my biggest struggles. I can also relate to generally getting decent grades from my panic papers/projects, but it's like I tortured myself when I didn't have to. Craziness.

Honestly I've always had procastination problems but great a attention span. So I would always procastinate until the night and then just spend like 5 hours without breaks and finish it. Music is a great motivator too.

I just submitted my 60,000 word QE (qualifying exam) dissertation for PhD this morning which I wrote in bloody 7 days fueled by anger, spite, jealousy, insecurity and loads of sugar. I physically felt enlightenment as I hit the send button. Now waiting for my dear (note the sarcasm) supervisor to check it and send it back for editing and correcting. To be honest, I just had to write the infernal thing as I had all my notes, data, chapter outlines ready and I am still a good month away from submission deadline. But it was hell, nonetheless. RIP my body as I can barely move today.
I wish I had found this video a week back so I wouldn't have felt so alone.
Procrastination is bad, but I know I am going to do it again next year for the final PhD dissertation..lol
Edit: This was a very dangerous gamble and I strongly advise against it if you value your overall health. Best of luck my fellow grad students!

@@potato1084 yeah..not a very proud moment for me.
I once started an assignment as the teacher was collecting it. It was homework for 8th-grade science class, so it didn't hold that much weight, but the scenario itself was exhilarating. I had to write 24 definitions on Quizlet to match 24 images about the chapter we were covering that week. When I realized I was about 1 minute away from having nothing, I frantically began writing down definitions. By the time she got to me, I only had around 7 or 8 definitions completed. I was doing it on my phone since I didn't have my laptop open yet and she was just checking for completion, but that may have helped me. When she came to check mine, I started at the top, scrolled through the first few, then quickly scrolled all the way to the bottom, and instantly went back up. The blank definitions and images didn't fully load, so she couldn't see that they were incomplete. Once I scrolled back to the top, I just stayed there. She just nodded her head and went to the next person. I got a 100% on that assignment.
You are a god for pulling that off

@@lohanwilliams1619 could you help me?
Honestly the worst part for me is when I actually start the paper the night before it’s due and I still spend the whole time trying to do anything but write it. I’m infuriated but I just can’t stay focused
The best paper I ever wrote has an insane backstory to it.
It was Writing and Rhetoric II and I was 18, we had to write a paper about our towns history and base it off of our own research from historical places in our town (I chose my topic related to medicine which I was warned by my professor that it was a total pain in the ass).
The paper I ended up writing was a 200/200 and was given praise from my school. My professor even recommended that I submitted to the downtown library to have a chance at having something officially published made by me…and I was the fourth best essay out of over 70 submissions, but unfortunately they only wanted the top two.
Now here’s the kicker.
Since this was my second semester, my young fuck-all attitude got to me saying “it’s just two months of work and all I need is a week, I’ll be fine”…well a week turned into twenty-six hours and I had NOTHING.
So basically I speedrun the fuck out of my essay and research, literally breaking PB’s and finding new strays to lower my time on the fastest essay I ever wrote…my favorite part was arriving at one of our historical hospitals at 2AM asking for research (thank god their history was plastered all over the building).
I ended up finishing the essay with NINE MINUTES to turn it in and all I could really think of was “well…I met expectations”.
this is very badass and also relatable and sounds like something i would do down to the getting a perfect grade on 2am bullshit ramblings😭 i don't know how i get away with this shit
I admire you so much oh my god.
Holy shit
Lmao amazing
Actually you are a good writer
You got a 94!!!! Girrrl that is impressive, I guess diamonds are made under pressure haha!
I’m so feeling this. I wrote my bachelors thesis in 2 days and I didn’t sleep at all. I went on vacation right after and fell asleep on the plane to be woken up by the flight crew after we were already on the ground (3 hours later) and the plane had already emptied. How I could actually sleep through a plane landing and offloading is still beyond me cause up until that point I never even been able to sleep mid air. Guess I was tired 😂
But you must have collected your sources and wrote down the parts you want to cite beforehand right?
Must’ve been a good nap 😂
I once got upgraded to business class with membership points, but then I slept through the whole thing (6 hours flight), skipped all the meals didn't even turn on my screen. Apparently the flight attendant tried to wake me up for food but I was simply dead, so basically my first ever business class experience was water and a more padded seat.
I finished school several years ago and this video is re-igniting that old anxiety lol. I'm so glad this nightmare is over
Literally did this for my senior thesis. Started writing it at 11 PM the night before, finished it half an hour before it was due, at 7 AM the following morning. Got a 93%.
Procrastination squad gets it done…eventually!!!
The worst part about procrastination is that you get REWARDED for your crappy work. We tend to get decent or good grades regardless. We delude ourselves into thinking we work better under pressure. So there’s really no incentive for the brain to break the habit. It’s hell, really.

depends on the topic and what it is required of you, it's not the same having to analyze and interpret data in a professional field about a complex subject as it is for searching for an historical event with widely known information that is easy to access, and just present it in a cohesive manner with some correlations here and there.

ADHD is literally not even an excuse for that. My entire family + my boyfriend have ADHD. When you get an extension because you already messed up, you don’t just wait until the last minute, again. That’s you making bad choices, that’s not ADHD, and it’s inexcusable
@@kiavalo bro. Even ADHD is on a spectrum and everyone within it has different symptoms and different severities. You can’t just blame them and say it’s all their fault. You think they aren’t worried? You think they don’t want to do well? You think they haven’t tried?? How ignorant, it seems like you don’t even know how it’s like at all.
@@mynamo12 you talk as if ADHD is some uncontrollable thing. As if there isn’t medicine for it. If you actually took the time to sit down, and forced yourself to sit there for 4 hours without the ability to do ANYTHING other than work, you wouldn’t get a single thing done? The fact that she was able to finish the project in one night only to get a 90 is proof that it’s an excuse to not do it for weeks at a time. It’s bad life choices, it’s not ADHD.
@@kiavalo it IS uncontrollable in some ways, and controllable in others. Medication isn’t a magic cure. I am on meds and it doesn’t help me completely, actually it doesn’t even help me with most symptoms, only some!
“Took the time”
“Forced yourself”
You clearly know nothing about ADHD.
Even if I do sit down and work, I often have trouble focusing, and before I even realize it I start playing with my fingernails for an hour straight before I snap out of it. So no, even that doesn’t mean you will work.
As someone with ADHD, this is too relatable! Props to you for learning your lesson (even though we never do, let’s be real) and still being able to get it done with a 94. You did that!

She wrote a better paper in less than 24 hours than I ever did in the span of multiple weeks
I've reached the point of procrastinating my own work by watching other people procrastinate, knowing that I'm about to end up in that same position
to anyone who procrastinates to this extent: it might be worth getting an evaluation for adhd. For real I got diagnosed at 18, and when I tell you I thought I was destined to be a burnout, I felt like no matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop being a failure of a person. I started meds for it (you're allowed to only take them on days you feel like it, which I really like) & I'm soon to start behavioral therapy to help find & build some habits that work for me on an individual scale. Life has gotten so much easier and more manageable. I could've never imagined how much better it could be.
It's always worth seeing someone and finding out if there's a reason you're struggling 💖

These sentiments were me 100% throughout college. Every single paper, big exam, final project I always started the night before and all nighted into the day of the class--zero sleep. I never got overwhelmed enough to be pushed to tears because I did this SO often. I always knew I had ADHD, but I had no health insurance at the time or knew that there were resources that could help me. The hardest thing for me to pass was math. I had to take a reduced schedule just so I could focus on ONE class. I would drink redbulls/rockstar energy drinks and get all pumped up and let the adrenaline take over. Now I am 30 and was recently properly diagnosed with ADHD. I'm just glad I survived college and now have a "real job." I wish I could have gotten a masters, and the thought of getting one still appeals to me, but idk if I could get through a Master's if I was barely able to get my BA.
I'm a year removed from university, I work overtime sometimes but it's nowhere near the level of overwork and stress I experienced in uni. This entire video was like a horror film, flashbacks to some godawful all nighters. Some of that is def self inflicted, but the quantity of work itself was so much more at uni than at work. Thankful to be done lol.
Edit: The worst part about procrastinating is how good you can get at it. I maintained solid grades and that just fed into the bad habits lol
I come back to watch this video every time I have a paper due that I, once again, procrastinated on. right after I give myself the "you better not ever put work off this last minute ever again" spiel, I always end up right back here 😌 thanks for the oddly motivating video. it surprisingly comes in clutch when my work ethic refuses to lol
Literally same I got a 5,000 word essay for tomorrow morning and haven’t started it yet ahhh
I'm back to announce that I ended up procrastinating so hard on the above mentioned research paper that I did the math and realized I had 12 minutes to write each page in order to make the deadline, so I quicksilvered that shit and laugh/cried myself through it. I got a B. Nice! Why am I back here so soon? I procrastinated again and need more motivation. it's due tomorrow 🤪. hate myself asdfghjkl;
This is such a mood, so many all nighters due to procrastination.
I feel so connected to this video title! When I was 21 I got the date for my Bachelor Thesis wrong, found out on a Sunday afternoon that I had until Thursday afternoon to write it, print it out and get it into the university office before closing time. I thought I had nearly 2 months left and had not even written a single page (I had to write 50). The only finished thing was the structure and a download folder full of academic papers I had previously saved.
In the coming days I nearly went crazy because of the lack of sleep and I couldn’t look at coffee for a long time afterwards. Still one of my proudest accomplishments that I managed to finish it and got a B for it. Haven‘t learned my lesson though and things like this still happen in my life unfortunately (though not to that extent) 😅
I watch this video every time I need a reminder NOT to go for a doctorate lmao
Me too tbh 😹 that and the cost lol
@@maddsvlogs doctorates are funded mostly so you get paid to do it by the school. You just have to talk yourself into writing a 300-400 page dissertation
I have a paper due in 4 hours and still have 4 more pages to write. I hate myself.
Every time I’m getting last minute work done, (such as right now)I put your videos on in the background so I don’t feel alone. Thanks for the inspiration.
Currently writing my first ever thesis (30 pages/ 15 000 words) - it’s due on Monday. I have procrastinated - gotten an extension - and continued to procrastinate. Thank you for this realistic video because I’m so over myself and I don’t understand what’s wrong with me. You’ve given me the motivation to just get it together haha. I hope you’re doing well 🤍
I also have to face to write research paper and yeah ready for the presentation of my own research.. But watching this really motivates me as well.. Camon we can do this!🤍
How did it go?
Love that most of us are here to procrastinate our own papers haha go team!
I just wanna wish everyone who is currently going through this the best luck and I hope you get the best result possible given your current situation.
I'm a engineering student and I have a calculus III exam tomorrow which I haven't studied for at all :)))
A lot of comments are mentioning ADHD…maybe you’re all onto something here 😹
😭
I was about to comment the same; I got diagnosed right before college graduation, and it explained sooooo much for me. (Though it was too late, in many ways. 😂) In any case, really grateful you depicted this so honestly. Every assignment submitted as a procrastinator is an accomplishment: to live this weekly for YEARS takes more resilience than people realize. It can take a toll on you, too. I hope you’re gentle with yourself for that and I hope we all find ways to a more sustainable pace. 💛
I did this my whole life lol
And I was diagnosed with ADHD last year- the thing is that we THRIVE AT THE LAST MINUTE! Seriously, maybe something to look into cause this is peak executive dysfunction
No babes, you’re just lazy❤
@@noodle3851 No dear, you're just an asshole ❤️
I did this every year in college. Felt SO GOOD finishing those papers.
I admire your calmness in this situation. I would be losing my shit!
I did my 15000 word Masters Dissertation in the 4 days before it was due - handed it in 10 mins before the deadline, the moment I finished writing up the references. That was all the writing and all the research. Got a distinction - the stress still wasn't worth it.
ugh these comments make me feel so safe❤️
@@lohanwilliams1619 thank you sm!!!!
I come back and watch this every now and again for the fun on it. I love this lol.
This is classic executive functioning disorder aka ADHD. It's kinda sad how this issue can deteriorate a life. Congratulations on the stellar grade and thanks for making this video.
People diagnose ADHD like Oprah giving her audience gifts in the early 2000s. Everybody gets some ADHD
Nah man she was just irresponsible, it happens
@@yoosh9034 "You have ADHD, you have ADHD, everyone has ADHD!"
Existing does NOT equal ADHD. Unless you’ve got a degree in that field, stop spreading misinformation
I’m a Psych major in college, and have been diagnosed with ADHD for at least a decade now. This certainly looks like dysfunctional execution, although I can’t confirm it either. I know I’ve had my fair share of situations like these, but I always somehow end up over performing due to the time pressure.
