oh this is true btw. High school if you hand in anything you will probably pass. College you actually have to organize papers coherently and make it all tie together

Had three engineering projects worth a total of 45% of our grade due on monday. We started at 2 on sunday, stayed up all night working on them, ate spaghetti in the morning because it was all we could find and then got an 90 on it, we kicked ass!

I once did a huge research paper the night before it was due. The procrastination wasn't nearly as satisfying as getting a better grade than my friend who wrote 15 pages over the requirement and worked on it for weeks.

The other one was getting a B on a project we were supposed to spend months on that I did pretty much in one night.

Oh and more recently deciding not to do an essay and then having my university cancel classes the next day. That pushed the due date back a week, it was sweet.

Grade 10 english- didn't do my ISU which was worth 15 % I think, passed though thanks to the exam
Grade 11 history-didn't do ISU AGAIN, think I would learn cause of all the stress I had in the year before cause I thought I wasn't gonna pass.
Grade 12 social science class- do my ISU 2 days before my exam only because I was already failing the class, so I hand it on on the day of the exam and pass that course. 

Other procrastination feats: doing my power point presentation in 2 nights when we were told that its impossible to do even a week ahead of time worth 15%, and the usual doing homework at lunch or handing it in the day that the stuff gets handed back.  And doing it right now with this stupid english thing Im supposed to write and this world issues project that was due today, and some physics homework that was also due today ........FUCK

I don't procrastinate, well not since high school. Though in high school I completely winged a 10 minute speech for full marks.
