Today, I failed a calculus exam because I simply was too burnt out to study for it. I have not wanted to even look at a math problem since the beginning of the year, and I procrastinate all day instead of doing work, and it leads me here, typing at 2 a.m. to random strangers while having to get up tomorrow at 7.

Today, I had the worst day of my life. I'd studied science for the whole damn night, only to realize the next morning that it's a math exam. FML

Today, I failed my maths exam because of one single question, which I have been practicing for months and gotten very good at it. It was the first question… however, when the exam started, I forgot it all. FML

Today, I had my final economics exam, and needed to ace it, or else I would fail the entire module. After studying all day yesterday, and pulling an all-nighter today, I managed to pull it off and get a perfect score. Unfortunately, my teacher didn't believe that it was possible, and accused me of cheating. Now I may be thrown out of college. FML

Today, a few people in my class used calculators on the math final exam, even though it clearly stated at the top that they weren't allowed. The teacher found out, and now everyone has to retake the 200-question exam. I didn't even use a calculator. FML

Not prepared enough

Today, I had a maths test and I realised that I'd studied the wrong topics. The teacher said the test would be difficult and I stayed up till 1 a.m. just to be prepared. FML

Why do so many people think they can just throw away or destroy their papers and stuff when they THINK they are done? Keep hold of crap for 6 months before tossing it just to make sure.

Why would you burn your books? You can probably get money for those! I mean burning your notes is dumb enough...

Ahem. Mathematics has an s on the end. So, some take out the middle to abbreviate it. Others chop off the end. You think it sounded stupid as "maths". I thought it a little stupid as "math".

Look on the bright side. Apparently those notes etc. didn't do you any good if you still failed.

Well, you know, the language is 'English', and you're borrowing it from us so... we're right, haha! And to the comment above about the 's' at the end etc, that's the logic I went with too

YDI for thinking it is worth paying money for a college education that does not teach you math(s).

Why waste the paper, create so much CO2 and contribute to global warming? You know, tearing your books into pieces, stuffing them in a big plastic bag and dumping it in the recycle bin probably would've done the same trick...
