Literal Inability to do Work Sooner than the Night Before it's Due

[T50_Omaha8]

Why not cherish your ABILITY to do the work the night before its due?

I have a friend who graduated 3rd in his class from a massive high school but blew it bad a college by blowing off every paper that was assigned to him. He'd set aside time, but he just would never end up doing it. He either makes an F or an A in almost every class, depending on whether papers make up a significant % of the final grade.
