young adulthood

Procrastination

My best friend from the middle school, Alex, was the first to teach me "procrastination." (She is the girl on the right of the photo. This photo is from seventh grade.) There wasn't much schoolwork in middle school so I never felt like a procrastinator. Then in high school, every kid in my classes used it. And in college, professors warn students not to procrastinate.

I thought time would fix all(most) of my problems. I imagined turning 18 and suddenly...reading would come natural, knowing political issues would be easy, procrastinating would gone away, eating vegetables would taste great, I wouldn't care how I looked and I wouldn't be selfish. Like my parents, professors and Ralph. Some change is gradually coming with time but it isn't happening fast enough.

I am started to realize change doesn't come naturally with age. If there is going to be change, I have to do. This is common senses but I am retarded at common senses.

I don't want to be a kid in a grown-up body. I see people like everyday. I need to change.
