Exams, Relatable, Awkward, Students and Miscellaneous: Away with the fairies

Away with the fairies

By peoplesuck - 14/05/2009 07:51 - United States

Today, I stayed up all night to study for my anatomy final at 9 a.m. I studied outside the testing room in the hall all night. Apparently, I fell asleep with my headphones on, as my friend woke me up after walking out of the test, asking how I did. 300 classmates walked by and no one woke me up. FML

Today, I woke up at 5 and studied for my 9:30am exam for 4 hours. When I left my dorm at 9, it was dark outside. Turns out I slept through the entire day and woke up at 5pm. FML

Today, I had an important test at 7 in the morning, so I sat the alarm at 6 o'clock and fell asleep. Later I was woken up by a call from my friend asking me why I didn't show up for the test. It was 9:30. I'd sat the alarm at 6:00 PM. FML

Today, I studied all night for a big test. I ended up falling asleep on the bus ride there. I woke up in a different province. FML

Today, I had a Biochemistry exam. I studied all night but took a nap to get some rest because my exam was in the morning. I woke up at 10, feeling very confident. My exam was at 9. FML

Keep it down

Today, I was woken up at 2 a.m. by my roommates throwing a party down the hall. I put some earplugs in so I could get some rest for my 8 a.m final. They worked really well, so well in fact that I didn't hear my alarm and woke up at noon. FML

Today, I pulled an all-nighter to finish rereading my set work for my English exam. I managed to finish earlier than expected and decided to get some sleep. I then promptly slept through my alarm and missed my exam. FML

Today, I dozed off during a lecture. When I woke up, I didn't recognize any of the people surrounding me, and I saw one guy pointing and laughing at me. It turns out, my professor instructed everyone to let me sleep because he wanted to see how long it would be before I woke up. I was asleep for three hours. FML

Today, I walked into an exam after having stayed up 20 straight hours studying. The professor looked at me and muttered, "Don't bother, I'm failing you either way." FML

Today, my school took part in a standardized state test. After finishing, I decided to take a nap, only to be awoken by the test monitor, who wanted me to leave. Apparently, I was ferociously farting in my sleep and was disturbing the people still taking the test. FML

Today, I had to get to class at 9:00 to take a test. I woke up at 6:00, and figured I could wait a few minutes before getting ready. The next thing I knew, it was 10:30. FML

Never stay up all night studying. You just won't remember it.

Just an FYI for the future: it is better to study less and get 6-9 hours of sleep than study more and get less. You will remember things better with more sleep. Studies have shown those that get more sleep, even after studying less did better.

#17 - she won't. Day after day... people tell her to fix her keyboard, etc. etc. She doesn't care. Just ignore her. Wish this site had a 'block user' function.

What makes you think you're significant enough for classmates to recognize you? As one of 300, you're probably completely faceless.

#15 - Exam officers don't always do that. I've never had anyone check who I was during a final. And once I had a friend who went and took a final that wasn't his just to mess around. If it's a big class, it's likely the Prof. and TAs wouldn't notice. Sucks no one else did either, though. Anyway, yeah.. a decent night sleep and some breakfast is probably the best thing for an exam. I vote studying all day the day before if you must, but not all night.

#12- You'd think if you had a 4.0 in college you'd be able to figure out how to turn of the caps lock. Unless you're just an ass.

It's really not a good idea to stay up the entire night before studying. You're exhausted when you're taking the test, and you aren't able to concentrate or think as well. You should plan better and start studying earlier. Lol, you could've also set the alarm on your phone or something. Always plan for the worst.
