Quotes
The best way to get your homework done without procrastinating is to just do it.
Homework is not an option. My bed is sending out serious nap rays. I can't help myself. The fluffy pillows and warm comforter are more powerful than I am. I know I should be doing my homework. I know I should be thinking about the five-page paper that's due next week. But I can't concentrate. I can't focus. I can't do anything.
Homework is a way of life for students, and it's not easy.
