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

Away with the fairies

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

I've slept through half of an exam before, but never a full one - FYL.

That's screwed up. Somebody had to have recognized you. They should have woken you up. I would have. Talk to your prof.

While that's unfortunate, you deserved it for staying up all night. Cramming for a test the night before never helps. If anything, it makes you more anxious and less likely to remember anything you read. Try studying throughout the lesson...maybe you won't completely fail being a student next time.

122 that was a bit much saying they fail at being a student. You don't know anything about this person and the normal study habits or grades received.

you deserved it buddy. if you stayed up all night the night before. you're cramming. therefore you weren't prepared. which also means you probably weren't keeping up with your studying before hand. even if you have back to back exams if you were keeping up with you're studying, instead of cramming the night before you would have been able to get through it with ease. and believe me, i've done the cramming the night before and its terrible. you're tired during the exam and it makes it harder for you to think during the exam and then you have to spend more time to answer a question because your brain is working slower. so anyways, you deserved it
