As you probably know, my time management is... trash.199Please respect copyright.PENANAihqySuEpZ4
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 199Please respect copyright.PENANAKjXWUW1FXJ
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.199Please respect copyright.PENANA1ob3J1yIk3
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.199Please respect copyright.PENANA6zFrpsoBpi
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.199Please respect copyright.PENANA6mEd1mJ7A3
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. 199Please respect copyright.PENANAgukkuuvB3V
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.199Please respect copyright.PENANAHXXkDgN0Oh
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:199Please respect copyright.PENANAGx27zDlHJa
Summer school assignment.199Please respect copyright.PENANAn1UgfVFZYz
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.199Please respect copyright.PENANAaqRfW7RHqz
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.199Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZWIjzT6xV
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.199Please respect copyright.PENANAPYfvAsMtWm
199Please respect copyright.PENANAXPmVxAN8uz
Number 2:199Please respect copyright.PENANAa6LyjpsTeg
This JUST happened.199Please respect copyright.PENANA8XerU1ihCn
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.199Please respect copyright.PENANAonGvuD79jF
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.199Please respect copyright.PENANARGCPHjuXKT
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.199Please respect copyright.PENANAnvyGuZWvuq
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.199Please respect copyright.PENANAqfvkDBHpEd
199Please respect copyright.PENANA5BHag5EYHU
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. 199Please respect copyright.PENANAz9tnoqAtW9
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 199Please respect copyright.PENANAmXqbXVlQ5x
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.199Please respect copyright.PENANAiw0kBu8ANR
199Please respect copyright.PENANAHdGx6BzeNK
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.199Please respect copyright.PENANAOeO1RTvfqd
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?199Please respect copyright.PENANABB9aA7Y9qW
There's no way that small change could work.199Please respect copyright.PENANA9LjPHaR0ru
199Please respect copyright.PENANABNrkdewbfh
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.199Please respect copyright.PENANAYEg6FebmKY
199Please respect copyright.PENANAYcB3T8RKLB
Number 1:199Please respect copyright.PENANA6zo5X0pDHZ
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. 199Please respect copyright.PENANAvBnjmes2za
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.199Please respect copyright.PENANA8VIAZpEy5K
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. 199Please respect copyright.PENANA5KzbTwaRKu
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. 199Please respect copyright.PENANAefUWTAP3GH
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.199Please respect copyright.PENANAJAurFgDV7G
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.199Please respect copyright.PENANACqRnQcQsf9
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.199Please respect copyright.PENANA8nLUlhBu0U
199Please respect copyright.PENANARhqr8XJM0x
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.199Please respect copyright.PENANAOSaMqQIwQc
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.199Please respect copyright.PENANAIwFumr94HW
The lecturer was impressed.199Please respect copyright.PENANATq2teGn1Qu
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 199Please respect copyright.PENANAMVBpUZkwHL
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. 199Please respect copyright.PENANARp0TgXrZMc
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.199Please respect copyright.PENANAhYg3CtBoKk
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.199Please respect copyright.PENANApImDYzhcJS
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.199Please respect copyright.PENANAavx8cy1M3t
199Please respect copyright.PENANAcgzTE0K9z5
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.199Please respect copyright.PENANAh0wBqTnmxn
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.199Please respect copyright.PENANAGuXIieiIyy
Crap.199Please respect copyright.PENANAGmvh9W5oot
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.199Please respect copyright.PENANA4scerP52ES
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 199Please respect copyright.PENANA5f9gRi8Nvn
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.199Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0e1IdQtrD
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.199Please respect copyright.PENANAEbJ4yGrJ9h
199Please respect copyright.PENANAS0U3MTirPl
To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 199Please respect copyright.PENANA8viBt7v4OS
Whoops.199Please respect copyright.PENANAPoqXLMf2yR
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!199Please respect copyright.PENANA62rmtd1ONC
