Motivation Disappears When Professor Extends Assignment Deadline

Joke about a student losing all motivation to complete assignments immediately after their professor extends the submission deadline

This is a relatable student meme structured in multiple text segments paired with a reaction image. The first text line sets the scene: a student finally builds up motivation to complete their pending assignments as the original submission deadline approaches. The second line reveals that the professor extends the assignment deadline. The third line is labeled "Me:" followed by an image of the stop-motion character Pingu sitting on a wooden chair with his arms crossed, looking stubborn and unmotivated, with overlaid text on the image reading "well now I am not doing it". The meme jokes about the extremely common student experience where any deadline extension completely erases the last-minute work motivation someone had built up to meet the original deadline.

This meme was originally shared on Reddit in meme-focused subreddits, with the original posted title "No pressure to do it now". It uses a screenshot of the main character Pingu from the classic stop-motion children's television series Pingu, edited with custom text to fit the relatable student procrastination joke format. It has circulated widely across social media platforms including Reddit, Twitter/X, and TikTok as a highly relatable reaction meme for students and anyone who struggles with procrastination related to deadlines.
