Just got an A- on a last minute research paper in grad school. I did it in 4 hours on the last day to turn it in. I feel guilty. My friends genuinely seem mad at times at my lack of effort leading to good results.

look, i'm also in grad school. there's this idea that we're competing with each other when we're not, we're in this together. grad school is a lot and i'd be shocked if they didn't do the same or similar! you're just ready to admit it when they may feel social pressure or like they have to put up appearances :)

obviously procrastination isn't the best method, and studying is important. but to say we're all perfect or accomplish our goals in just the exact "right" way is incorrect - for ex., one of my profs said that she's a serial procastinator and the other is like me (many, many drafts)
