It is so easy to say that it will get done. It is so easy to say that there is time to do it.Confrontation is almost always avoided if possible. If a choice of confrontation is given justification for an alternative will come. Confrontation does not have to involve another person though, Sometimes it is a responsibility that needs to be confronted. The stress of a deadline leads to procrastination, but this does not relieve stress. The deadline catches up, and regret sinks in. Once I had no cares in the world, I would partake in this habit regularly. The ninth grade was a realization for me. A realization that I could not do this anymore, it will not work anymore. It was a project assigned months before, the teacher had given explicit warning …show more content…
I had to pick 10 things to do out of a list of 20 and each one seemed like it should take at least a day to complete. I spent at least an hour just letting how much of a mistake I had made with putting this project off sink in. It was unfathomable. I could not handle the stress that fell on me.

The second task proved to be even more time consuming than the first. The sun was down outside my window, the deadline wouldn’t change. I decided that my grade was more important than my temporary mental health. I made a regrettable choice that sleep is outweighed by an assignment. The sun came back up, and down yet again, but I still had work to do. It was around 2:00 a.m. that it all started to catch up to me. I started working slower. I started feeling dizzy when I stood up for a glass of water. I felt my eyes shutting on their own. I couldn’t take much more, but I had
