As you probably know, my time management is... trash.203Please respect copyright.PENANA3QgDvBUcMY
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAEEUbAtAizk
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.203Please respect copyright.PENANA19uTzZtFbW
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.203Please respect copyright.PENANA3vLyvkiOfD
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.203Please respect copyright.PENANAxuUoDBp9hw
You can try fake a doctor's certificate, or make some lame excuse, but chances are, depending on the lecturer, it's pretty unlikely they'll give you a deadline if you make an excuse so late. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAShRPLlrTSK
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.203Please respect copyright.PENANAcwvzziQqwk
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:203Please respect copyright.PENANA9nhyBn8Qm7
Summer school assignment.203Please respect copyright.PENANAKXaObG8O5J
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.203Please respect copyright.PENANA275NTUK9lS
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.203Please respect copyright.PENANAfnggB2LjMo
The reason why this was number 3 was because while I was working on it, I was fairly confident I would finish it, and get a reasonable grade.203Please respect copyright.PENANAQvI4ltbyea
203Please respect copyright.PENANAWnSModbXGL
Number 2:203Please respect copyright.PENANASbPdJQLZh7
This JUST happened.203Please respect copyright.PENANAtyy8Vu4sEW
So I was working on one of my hardest assignments yet, and the lecturer warned us plenty beforehand... but I had to start it on the last day.203Please respect copyright.PENANAdKe5g7TVrc
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.203Please respect copyright.PENANAapoZbC0Jze
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.203Please respect copyright.PENANAq7y7HKjqON
Second time. Correct answer for the easy case. Time limit exceeded for the hard case... but 96% was correct. I knew my work was probably right, but it was too slow.203Please respect copyright.PENANALY5ctSjYGK
203Please respect copyright.PENANAdE9TAZZJ7K
Oh, I was so close to giving up and leaving it right there. I almost did. Because... the thing is, while the due time was in 3 hours, the whole university site was going to go on maintenance in 10 minutes for 4 hours. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAJDsoafi1Do
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 203Please respect copyright.PENANA9indwuuQC7
Final try. Instead of changing the foundation of the harder parts, I looked at the easy part... and made a minimal change to my work, hoping that, it would somehow, somehow, make it fast enough.203Please respect copyright.PENANAnOHrjNdWpl
203Please respect copyright.PENANApKctPYYHJl
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.203Please respect copyright.PENANAqUoQcLuviD
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?203Please respect copyright.PENANAd9vPffFuWA
There's no way that small change could work.203Please respect copyright.PENANA8FrQ1z93fI
203Please respect copyright.PENANAiKzzJH3RPM
But ALAS, 10 minutes later, I refreshed the website, and TADA - I PASSED. I couldn't believe my eyes. The only reason why this is second is because technically it wasn't last minute.203Please respect copyright.PENANAVkwAf90nul
203Please respect copyright.PENANAy1KMUu9JKv
Number 1:203Please respect copyright.PENANAtf4SQCVMCO
It was a busy semester. I was stuck on an assignment, and my only chance was asking the lecturer on the day. However, I had work, and by the time I went into the lecturer's office, I only had 30 minutes to finish the question. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAEpBEOxcvO4
He gave me some hints, and said to me that most people wouldn't get the question right, and it was nearly impossible to finish it in the time I got left.203Please respect copyright.PENANAyVpOoGHsm8
It's really stressful working last minute. I don't recommend it. Your mind goes blank for a few minutes, and you have to push yourself to not get overcome by the stress and THINK. THINK. THINK. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAfI1Vwp8IsM
Ahh... thanks to the lecturer, I figured out the pattern of the question... but I didn't know how to implement it. Time was ticking. 5 minutes. 3 minutes. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAnnvds33YsO
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.203Please respect copyright.PENANACk7AoeEyLq
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.203Please respect copyright.PENANAHaPGjFAh0F
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.203Please respect copyright.PENANAss5xDEpNZw
203Please respect copyright.PENANABA0biasA9p
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.203Please respect copyright.PENANApBqGbHFvpj
If you're not familiar with code... it doesn't run first try. But thank the stars Stack Exchange knew what they were doing, because it RAN. I saved my file, clicked submit in the last 10 seconds... and done.203Please respect copyright.PENANA0Jf1Ijl2wo
The lecturer was impressed.203Please respect copyright.PENANAzjb8Q1joRJ
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAxd8rlT67Wl
When I didn't submit
There have been a fair number of times when I didn't submit an assignment, test, quiz on time. Hell, I miss a lot of quizzes. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAeOlQLfTYc7
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.203Please respect copyright.PENANAm53ct3fA9S
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.203Please respect copyright.PENANAfgLrv0q67D
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.203Please respect copyright.PENANAvB5NPpdTmS
203Please respect copyright.PENANAvUNRyBjr2y
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.203Please respect copyright.PENANAjOXrS6d5Zv
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.203Please respect copyright.PENANA4U8Rpt38yj
Crap.203Please respect copyright.PENANA3IHwnoTWzo
I emailed him again a while later, but I didn't expect it to be marked. Well... I was screwed for the test, anyway. I wasn't sure on so many of the answers.203Please respect copyright.PENANA2EDNUCvxnM
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 203Please respect copyright.PENANAmk5aD02Y8w
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.203Please respect copyright.PENANAjaLbSjAfke
I've also submitted assignments late. Just emailed my lecturer with proof that I've completed it during the same hour... and usually they let me go. It's become sort of a bad habit now... to 2-3 times per semester. I mean, you'll be pushing it if you do it more than once per course. Hehehe...
I swear my GPA isn't THAT bad. My average is just under A sitting at an A-. I really wanted to get that A though... unfortunately I cannot.203Please respect copyright.PENANAOSlsUfXw7t
203Please respect copyright.PENANAAl6QqYydHM
To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 203Please respect copyright.PENANAw9ZCQFMul7
Whoops.203Please respect copyright.PENANAGiEmmNa0iY
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!203Please respect copyright.PENANAWdySaXProi
