Anyone have any tips on stopping procrastination?hahahaaaaaa...reality is you will never stop procrastination. That is my biggest problem and each semester I kept telling myself I had finally solved this problem, but now I realized I will continue to fight this problem for the rest of my college years. I SWEAR to god I have ADD. Man I require some much time to do homework in advance it is not even funny.
man fuck all that, that's what I don't go to school..... I could never do it
I don't know how it works in other jurisdictions, but I hate the citation thing with essays. I think it's ridiculous, I need to reference 5 books, 3 journal articles and 4 "other sources" (websites) which is ridiculous. I know tons about my topic, that's why I chose it. It's ridiculous I'm getting quotes right now from books that just tell me what I already know.

It's a topic which I know tons about and have really strong opinions on, so I need to find lots of stuff I agree with which is boring. Who wants to read something they agree with, that's hardly mentally stimulating.

The more sources you have that agree with you, the stronger your opinion is. It's like saying "the sky is brown" and everyone saying the sky is blue. you have no strong opinion unless you have support. ya feel me? what are you writing about anyway? a story?
