How To Put Off Writing An Expository Essay, by Caleb Akers

Procrastination, which is postponing needlessly, is very popular among high school aged students. Most students, especially across the United States, are guilty of this action. Procrastination is most common on huge projects that are assigned many days before they are due and also on work that some deem undesirable to do. Procrastinating involves the procrastinator waiting until 10pm or later on the night before the project is due to start a huge project. This often results in only a few hours of work for the procrastinator. Although no one would ever do this on any English paper, especially one like this, there are many different tactics that can be used in order to put off writing a paper as long as possible.

In order to be a successful procrastinator, you must become an expert at the following delays. The first step to stalling is to get a gigantic snack when you return home from school. This can take up to a half an hour if you happen to be famished from the barely palatable school lunch that was supposedly meat. The next step, which is the most frequent stalling tactic, is to get on Facebook. This enables you to start conversations with other people, instead of working on the English expository essay. This can last up to a few hours if you are a popular person. Now, you are forced to start on other homework that is due the next day. Although this requires doing work, it is still delaying on doing the paper. There are many other possibilities that can stall a person, but there comes a point when you cannot delay any further.

When nothing else can be done to wait, you are brought to the inevitable, starting on the paper. There is a major problem for the procrastinator at this point. You are in need of an interesting topic to do for the expository essay. Brainstorming is necessary, but this does not always result in a decent topic to work with. You must then pick a topic and go with it. Unfortunately, this may end in unhappiness with the paper, and in most cases, you find a better discussion topic well into your first paper. This either leads to rejoicing in the finding of a good topic, or this can lead to disappointment in having to start the paper over again. If this leads to excitement, your next step is to be wary of desks that protrude into your pathway. This can end up bring pain if you are not careful and you run into them. Thankfully, you now have your topic, and you successfully procrastinated on your expository essay until well into the night.

Procrastinating is not the best working procedure, but it can still result in decent works for the student. Side affects from procrastination may include lack of sleep, minimal concentration, increased stress, and lower grades. However, procrastination can be enjoyable, up until the procrastination can last no longer. By following this, you will now be able to put the pro in procrastinate.
