The Cause for Procrastination (If there are any incorrect or unnatural expressions in the entry, please help me to correct them :) I just stumbled on a video about the cause for procrastination by offering a vivid example. As far as I am concerned, it is more helpful to show people the cause for the terrible habit of procrastination rather than just to provide us with a few tips. Now I want to share it with you. Firstly, you have to differentiate procrastination from laziness. Some people may naturally connect a person who has a habit of procrastination with a characteristic of "laziness". However, it is not right to think that way. Laziness refers to a person who sits around and does nothing all day, and he/she doesn't feel guilty of it in the slightest. However, if people have procrastination, they tend to stop what they are doing to do other things, like updating micro blogs or pushing the LIKE button all the time. They cannot enjoy true happiness from playing their Apples or iPads, they just get a little bit relax for a moment. Because they know they have to continue to do the stuff they don't want to do. Here is the cause for procrastination. Let's try to imagine you are going to walk on a long and wide board on the ground. You absolutely will go across on it immediately. Now if the scene changes slightly, and the board is set between two 100-floor buildings A and B, meaning you are in danger of falling down. At this moment you probably will hesitate and procrastinate. Essentially, the difficulty of walking on the board doesn't increase. The only thing changed is the severity of consequence following the failure. But now if the building A catches fire suddenly, and you know if you don't go, you will die. I believe you will go instantly without hesitation under the circumstance. Once you are done, you will realize it is not as hard as you have thought. You may think "I could have done it earlier". And this is the entire process of procrastination. Sometimes you delay doing something just because you are afraid of screwing it up. You mentally set the board in a high level. You don't want your performance to fail to live up to people's expectations. This is the reason why you will procrastinate. To overcome this awful habit, you should learn to prepare for the worst and change the self dialogue—saying to yourself " I want to" instead of "I have to" or "I must" or "I need to".

Stories Of Girls On Campus (Part 3) (All the real names of places and people have been altered in the story) Blair grew up in a traditional intellectual family where her parents had not allowed her to act like a loser—doing poorly on school tests. They would call in counselors and tutors to make sure their only child get good grades, high scores, and a warm welcome to the decent college of her choice. Blair was nothing if not so good-bred and intellectual. She had small and single-eyelid eyes, round face with straight hair pulled back into a ponytail. She hated to admit that she was slightly fat, although it was the truth. She did have a try to shed some weight when she was at high school,but it wound up failing. She just couldn't restrain her desire to consume some sweet munchies even for two days. When the military training was over, Blair decided to pick up a dress at Manson's. She had been familiar with that place since she had gone there for several times. Every time she stepped into there she would feel like she were in heaven. There were so many beautiful dresses hanging on racks. She got salivated to look at them. She wanted to try them all on, but of course she couldn't. When you were chubby, you definitely had a lot of limits. (To be continued)

Stories Of Girls On Campus (Part 2) A moment later Serena came over to the military instructor in front of the group and gave him a note. She needed to have a day off because she didn't feel well about the stomach today. She looked even more perfect with cheeks rosy from walking a long distance from school clinic to playground. "Look, that's Serena!" No matter boys or girls, all of them craned heads and wanted to catch a glimpse of her. As if she were some kind of celebrity. Serena was one of those girls that while you were looking at, you knew they were thinking" that boy just can't take his eyes off me, because I'm so charming". Although she didn't act anything concerning that, she still looked very charming and proud, or even conceited in some people's eyes. But she was just born that way. She was cooler than any fresh girls on campus, which unavoidably made many of plain-looking girls jealous, even furious. Blair was one of those girls. (To be continued)

Stories Of Girls On Campus (Part 1) (All names of people, places in the following stories have been altered.) "At ease! Attention! Right-dress!" Loud orders came from the playground on which freshmen were going on a military training in the midst of August. The hot sun parched the ground, the heat dried out the air. The sweat streamed down freshmen's faces as a result of their having been exposed to the hot sun for about one hour, wearing green caps and ill-fitting military uniforms. "Okay, take a ten-minute break!" The instructor shouted. Everyone sat down on the ground by tiredness, and fanned themselves with caps to cool down. Blair was leaning against Isabel at the end of a back row. Isabel was Blair's roommate and also the first friend she got acquainted with ever since she entered the ZJ University. Suddenly, a movement in the distance caught Blair's eyes. Black and long flying hair. Plaid skirt. Slender and long legs. Pink flip-flops—odd choice, but she made it work. As that girl came closer, Blair recognized her."It's Serena! But why does she come late and not wear the uniform?" She thought.
