As you probably know, my time management is... trash.439Please respect copyright.PENANAV7gybvagJC
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 439Please respect copyright.PENANAKoxolnW681
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.439Please respect copyright.PENANAAA0i0jHTnv
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.439Please respect copyright.PENANAg1ccCxqpfC
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.439Please respect copyright.PENANA7VyvRDwN2Z
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. 439Please respect copyright.PENANAghrYVD8ACi
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.439Please respect copyright.PENANARAYRQ1LjWP
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:439Please respect copyright.PENANAwTbomP1vlu
Summer school assignment.439Please respect copyright.PENANAseWUnuSMVB
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.439Please respect copyright.PENANAnpgZYsBYMs
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.439Please respect copyright.PENANAVqqpDGqlAM
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.439Please respect copyright.PENANA1N9ewB34EE
439Please respect copyright.PENANApuV4U6Ur4Q
Number 2:439Please respect copyright.PENANArJoZqxJzFl
This JUST happened.439Please respect copyright.PENANAuN5aueowPH
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.439Please respect copyright.PENANAJS8yjeE1nX
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.439Please respect copyright.PENANAJfkey364sL
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.439Please respect copyright.PENANAGcu3bNqQLd
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.439Please respect copyright.PENANAUnutZSlUnu
439Please respect copyright.PENANAjmQH0gweYB
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. 439Please respect copyright.PENANAT3WX8gbF0p
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 439Please respect copyright.PENANALJyRsm1tur
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.439Please respect copyright.PENANAw54ivZsI6d
439Please respect copyright.PENANAZCk6pn7uYH
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.439Please respect copyright.PENANAkb4Sox9ymD
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?439Please respect copyright.PENANAydU2MSowwJ
There's no way that small change could work.439Please respect copyright.PENANAHkNrkUrndF
439Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZYUZmENcB
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.439Please respect copyright.PENANA1gTzKBXhgh
439Please respect copyright.PENANAlB0NjXkt3S
Number 1:439Please respect copyright.PENANA9fKGeD9HhN
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. 439Please respect copyright.PENANAmkS6WAXklJ
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.439Please respect copyright.PENANAVRj7J18jUe
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. 439Please respect copyright.PENANA10aX1v71s1
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. 439Please respect copyright.PENANAi4sfQNMzMl
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.439Please respect copyright.PENANACaodOo07nT
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.439Please respect copyright.PENANAohUHkudJ9a
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.439Please respect copyright.PENANAIhFRZpiclh
439Please respect copyright.PENANA0NsnLddNiZ
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.439Please respect copyright.PENANACn1gvRXUOv
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.439Please respect copyright.PENANAAhh5B6YPYK
The lecturer was impressed.439Please respect copyright.PENANAxaI1hnlDlm
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 439Please respect copyright.PENANAIcQEolA2YZ
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. 439Please respect copyright.PENANArmXUj4vfSc
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.439Please respect copyright.PENANAt17HWKq6al
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.439Please respect copyright.PENANAEcrmu3vqJ5
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.439Please respect copyright.PENANA8ixYKciOJD
439Please respect copyright.PENANAfvsEWa20NI
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.439Please respect copyright.PENANA9R6MySbJmj
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.439Please respect copyright.PENANAPxxlVMHfZw
Crap.439Please respect copyright.PENANAmGu0YDjLHw
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.439Please respect copyright.PENANAIjPOgf2LIa
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 439Please respect copyright.PENANAA7tMx11rWC
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.439Please respect copyright.PENANAbrQvbIZX7n
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.439Please respect copyright.PENANA13T6NQG4CL
439Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ2YhBrD3M
To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 439Please respect copyright.PENANAZjo2WYjZZJ
Whoops.439Please respect copyright.PENANAER5V5bu7bY
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!439Please respect copyright.PENANAt6fC61JKNM
