Written Like a Pro
The memoir "Written Like a Pro," by Icarus caught my attention very quickly. I read the first sentence, "I have a condition," and was instantly hooked. What condition? Was it an epidemic? Maybe an illness? No. It was procrastination.
This disease spreads across teens and adults alike, holding them in a vice-like grasp and never letting go. I found myself relating to every perfect crafted sentence written in the piece, laughing at the irony and also impressed by the plethora of quotes supporting Icarus's view. This memoir was a refreshing, hilarious, and engaging break from all of the melancholy articles published in Teen Ink every month.
While reading, I started to wonder if Icarus actually procrastinated while writing this piece, although it was "Written Like a Pro." I agree that "Procrastination is an art form" and like them and the many teenagers out there, I am proud of and always will be a "pro."
