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 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.

12th hour preparations suck .. you should be responsible and stop blaming your friends .. key to score good grades is good planning .. take this incident as a lesson and learn from your mistakes good luck for other exams

YDI. Why would you expect 300 strangers to wake your lazy ass up? Besides, unless you're over the age of 30, you should be more than capable of staying up for 24 hours. I'm sure anyone who's in, or recently graduated from college can attest to pulling multiple all nighter. Get healthy :(

Wow, bitches, Maybe she's studied all week and wanted to cram a little before just as a reminder. Either way, FYL. And those 300 people are little *****!

#1, I know it's better to study over time, but I've studied the night before (including material I have never seen/have been taught before) and I'm a straight A student. I do remember

Dude, no one is responsible for you except you. Take control of your life. Study in advance, then you won't have to stay up all night cramming. Set an alarm if you're worried you're going to fall asleep. You probably noticed that you were sleepy - people rarely go from being wide awake to unconscious without noticing some manner of progression from one to the other, so you could have taken precautions and set the alarm on your phone (if you have one), or something. Or gone to a pay phone, let a friend in the course know that you were there and worried you would fall asleep and asked them to check on you. Still, though, it was no one's responsibility but yours!
