Time wasting with intent to avoid necessary action. Typically verbalised by those with access to success yet a predisposition towards failure i.e. work-shy students approaching coursework deadlines.
"Are you doing that coursework for tomorrow?"
"No, I decided to put a definition of procrastination on Urban Dictionary instead."

No, seriously. Get back to work. Now. You're procrastinating. I know it. You looked on the definition of 'Procrastination'. You must be doing it. Go. NOW.

I should have written my college applications, but procrastination kept me from doing so. Besides, getting the high score on Pac-Man is WAY more impressive than getting into Harvard.

Kevin: Actually, I'm not stupid at all. I just have an awful tendency to procrastinate.
Diggity Monkeez: Oh. And to think that for all these years I had assumed that you were stupid.

A disease caused by the IB Program that causes students to wait until the last possible minute to do extreme amounts of work in impossibly short periods of time. Side effects include BSing, cheating, insomnia, and regret. Unfortunately, it's addicting, and students cannot break this vicous cycle.
Procrastination:
I shouldn't have procrastinated! I have 24 hours to finish the 30 photobook pages I was supposed to be working on for the past two years!
As I'm making this Urban Dictionary entry, I should be writing the 10 minute IB Individual Spanish Oral I have in 9 hours. =)

Leaving things off until the very last minute, or completely blowing them off, regardless of the consequences.
Procrastination is knowing you have a really important paper due tomorrow, but you just can't find the motivation to do the work. It's already 3 am, and you still haven't done anything. Then you decide you're too tired and go to bed, figuring it won't be that bad to turn it in a day late. This situation can repeat itself many a time.
