As you probably know, my time management is... trash.201Please respect copyright.PENANAql7mwQbV9l
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 201Please respect copyright.PENANAWMXYBtKZLW
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.201Please respect copyright.PENANA2c0Ga1bMSh
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.201Please respect copyright.PENANAVNGLUYrZGB
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.201Please respect copyright.PENANA5JRc2xujMT
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. 201Please respect copyright.PENANAR7ltqZHfkR
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.201Please respect copyright.PENANASgFCKbvl5e
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:201Please respect copyright.PENANA8DeVV2n0kt
Summer school assignment.201Please respect copyright.PENANAvxFy9GiexN
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.201Please respect copyright.PENANAN00bE6pF6a
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.201Please respect copyright.PENANA5ne3va3e4V
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANADqwN6Xkzsv
201Please respect copyright.PENANAmnfNbDrftS
Number 2:201Please respect copyright.PENANAni3GezBSeh
This JUST happened.201Please respect copyright.PENANA3qDBPjXdZP
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAvImGvDFya8
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.201Please respect copyright.PENANA6oBjcjb9wO
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.201Please respect copyright.PENANAA2wrXwgbZi
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAdnd2ezRbRo
201Please respect copyright.PENANASGDc1mItoo
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. 201Please respect copyright.PENANAjpypObg6XS
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 201Please respect copyright.PENANAoWqMkU7pYO
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANA4YioLfU1Dg
201Please respect copyright.PENANAguAGFgXNoJ
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.201Please respect copyright.PENANAMDbwf3NtnT
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?201Please respect copyright.PENANAoc18qYRSUs
There's no way that small change could work.201Please respect copyright.PENANAe4FE90hTSY
201Please respect copyright.PENANA3nCMRTegdk
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAizlFwfvpNc
201Please respect copyright.PENANAuA7YfPCRQy
Number 1:201Please respect copyright.PENANAp8JT7DPe4y
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. 201Please respect copyright.PENANAzTkQ6SPGIm
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANACaIgUpzPXX
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. 201Please respect copyright.PENANAbTkC5Uvo6L
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. 201Please respect copyright.PENANA4S2EPJd8qn
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.201Please respect copyright.PENANAgshTbYDRYg
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.201Please respect copyright.PENANAmvv8GAEWTC
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.201Please respect copyright.PENANAlJqHLWqgXh
201Please respect copyright.PENANAqyXWdMyHSI
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.201Please respect copyright.PENANAtSgyCE9qmp
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANACP2pYZyCOF
The lecturer was impressed.201Please respect copyright.PENANA7NnnsGJPm0
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 201Please respect copyright.PENANAcDsZgCYvFz
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. 201Please respect copyright.PENANA6l1R6apAe8
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.201Please respect copyright.PENANAoUBpIQmpI6
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.201Please respect copyright.PENANA1AuNl029re
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.201Please respect copyright.PENANAZa7GeZor9R
201Please respect copyright.PENANAL5QumgDOey
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.201Please respect copyright.PENANAkVeuofdRSE
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.201Please respect copyright.PENANAYzZamceanG
Crap.201Please respect copyright.PENANAuUb6d1Ur9l
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANAlN4RslYJ2m
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 201Please respect copyright.PENANAbcYpXPMzUr
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.201Please respect copyright.PENANAgg1i4rO67W
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.201Please respect copyright.PENANA1su67svY8w

To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 201Please respect copyright.PENANAxdFF2XG18U
Whoops.201Please respect copyright.PENANAMUDLbVNrsm
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!201Please respect copyright.PENANAEDXdm7vKuR
