This is why you go to college when you're young....
At 17: You realize the day before the deadline, that you even had a deadline. Out of thin air you produce the amount of words needed, finish by 21h, just in time to watch that movie that you have been watching the commercials of with 1 eye while typing.
At 25: You start a few days in advance. The final night you finish with a flurry, look at your watch and think: Hey, I did not realize it was 1 am already! You go finish your book in bed.
At 30: You start stressing about the deadline weeks in advance. No matter how often you think it, the words just do not come out right. You muster the enthusiasm to sit at it for hours, even though the quality is not what you want it to be. On the final night, with every passing minute your willpower reduces just a bit more. At 3 am you give up and hand in the paper as is. It takes you a week (and under eye correction fluid) to recover.
