Definition Paragraph

Author's Note: This is the sixth paragraph that I had to do for my COM 105 class, for which I received a 5/5 or an A letter grade on it.

Definition Paragraph

I am a procrastinator; in fact I am the king of procrastination. A procrastinator is someone who postpones work out of laziness or habitual carelessness, and I have multiple examples of how I do this on a daily basis. My first example focuses on test taking and the need to study before said test. I am horrible at studying and will usually wait till the night before, or even the day of, to start studying for a test. Sometimes this works to my benefit, and sometimes it does not, but overall if I would just study more and not procrastinate so much, I would do much better on the majority of my tests. Another example is writing paragraphs for my COM 105 class that I have this quarter. I think I am a bit too arrogant in my ability to write well as I will usually procrastinate on writing a paragraph that is due till the morning of the due date. So far procrastinating for the class has not hurt me, but I really need to cut that out and get to work if I am ever going to finish my research paper and do well on it. Thirdly, I turn procrastination into an art form when it comes to chores and other duties around my home. Sometimes I will let dishes stack up in the sink for weeks before finally doing them, or not dusting and doing other cleaning jobs around my apartment for months at a time. So, in conclusion, I hope you can see why I am the king of procrastination as I wait till the last minute to study for tests, do not write written assignments due till the morning of, and shirk my chores at home to the point where I can not tolerate the mess any more and finally do some cleaning.
