Trying to be a Better Me

You don't need to worry

You have time to shoot the breeze

("Why am I here,and what am I doing?")

Play games, stare at the ceiling, contemplate life

You act on this impulse and feel accomplished.

I'm going to do that assignment right now

Eh, I have time.

Should I do it later?

I'll do it later

It's in the back of your head

You know what you need to do

The assignment is due soon

but

You want to hang out

You would rather be doing just about anything else.

This assignment is going to turn out like all the other's before it .

You feel like a failure

There is so much to do

You walk out of the classroom

You feel empty inside

Like a shell of a person

(Now read this backwards)
