Do you procrastinate alot?
In highschool most of my teachers had the daily homework up on the board each day and I would either do it during class or not at all. I didn't do school work at home unless it was a big project. For those, I'd usually put it off for a while but not until the last minute. Whenever I did actually do it though, I would do it all at once. I would rather do a lot of work all at one time than a little spread out over a longer time; just do it and get it over with.
In general, I didn't take school very seriously. It was very easy for me so I used to skip a lot and barely do just enough to keep from failing. I'd usually study a little for finals though and ace them. It used to piss off my friends that I could blow school off all the time and still score better than them in the end.
What little college I got I took much more seriously though and I actually did all my work all the time.

i totally agree with Cerulean..the most awesome ideas come to my mind just in the last minute..ive spent many nights doing work, its like if i get a project due next week i just CANT start it, theres no "adrenaline" or whatever. so far my procrastination has worked for me..i mean i wait until its 10pm and for my mom to yell at me to go to bed to start my homework everyday(when i do decide to do it)..if i start any earlier i just cant get it done 🤢 ...I once had this project and i had the whole week to do it....i waited until 3:30 am of the the day it was due to start it..it was writing a story..i wasn't really thinking i just typed whatever came to my mind..i didnt sleep at all...at school my story got the highest grade and the teacher was just mad over it..i was like wtf 😲 i really thought i was gonna fail.... also because of that story they made me got to the school's shrink and therapy. c'mon.it wasnt THAT dark and messed up 😀

i wouldn't go as far as to call it procrastination, it's more "advanced time management" than procrastination 😛 . I figured out how much time most of my work would take and just leave enough time to do it. it just so happens to be the hours before it's due but hey, it's always done in the end so it's all good.
although people still call it procrastination, oh well, still time well spent not doing work. 😃

I push it to the max nowadays.
When talking about learning for your exams I always used to start late in the evening before the actual date of the exam. The pressure would get me all fired up and tiredness could be swept away using boosters such as coffee and Red Bull.
But last exams went really bad. That adrenaline ~ last minute inspiration ~ brainwave-boost just doesn't seem to happen anymore. Either my body's through using it or I'm just to tired. (It's probably the latter since I'm creating the habit of skipping nights.)
Anyway the average time for me to start learning decreased to about 2-3 hours before the start of the exam. 🤢

Well I don't think I procrastinate but my mom does ^_^ I do things when I know I can get them done and that's usually the last minute. But in my career it's all about doing things over a long period of time and with dealines you are usually majorly screwed if you do things at the last minute. But I had no problem shifting to this way of thinking because it's just another version of time mangement 🙂

I tend to do my work the class before its due for smaller assignments (labs, worksheets, studying for unit exams, etc). If its a project I normally finish it the night before or the morning on the day its due.

Che, of course!
It's really something I should stop, though... Last summer I was working 'til one in the morning on my English and AP World History summer assignments (I read the assigned book for AP World that day) on the last day of summer vacation... And that's not even looking at each AP World outline I had to do (outlining a thirty-page chapter from midnight 'til three in the morning is not fun). So I normally wait 'til the night before something's due.
I think the worst I've done was the night that I had to do an entire AP World outline and complete my science fair project (the entire thing, really) in the same night. I got zero sleep and got to school late. ><;
It's gotten so sad that I even procrastinate on SLEEP now.
But I really need to stop it, considering that I'm taking four AP classes next year, plus Marching Band.
Oh, and then there was that time that I crammed for thirty minutes on the bus for the AP World exam. XD That just gave me a headache, trying to fit over four thousand years of world history in your head in thirty minutes. That was the only actual studying I did, though... It was rather sad.

i constantly write papers the day before they're due and cram for tests at 11 at night before the actual date.
it's a terrible habit and it makes me get these horrid bags under my eyes...
i'm also taking AP's next year, so reading manga and such (like procrastinating) is diverting me from my school. AND its s college prep school...eck, im doomed unless i can break this terrible system of mine

Ahhh, I remember those days in High School and college ... everything was always last minute, without fail. Whether I did it on purpose or not. Sometimes I started a project way in advance and somehow it still ended up being rushed at the very end 🙁
So yes, I procrastinate!

Oh the pain!~
So I have this essay due tomorrow and thought "meh, I think I've pretty much got it down" so put it aside. Turns out, it's harder than I thought XD So now I'm wracking my brain, trying to finish this as soon as possible so I can get back to watching my anime T_T Being a PROcrastinator can be bad sometimes. 🙁

When i first get my homework, i start on it right away and stop like half-way through. Like, I'm supposed to finish it the next day, but then totally forget. And when i do remember, i don't want to do it. So, i do it at the last minute. 😛 I procrastinate a lot on anything.
