Today, my mother found out about the psychology exam I have to take tomorrow. Before leaving for her vacation this morning, she grabbed the internet router and took it with her to "get rid of distractions". I have one day to figure out how to access this online exam without Internet. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my neighbor finally password-protected his wifi. Right in the middle of my timed, online exam. FML
Today, my landlady cut off the Internet to my flat. She says she has no use for it, and doesn't want to keep it anymore. I have 3 online assignments due in the next week, and finals the following week. FML
Today, my mom texted me in the middle of my end of term math exam, saying it was extremely urgent and needed me to come home ASAP. While skipping my exam, I finally got home to find out my mom forgot what the emergency was. FML
Today, I asked my mom if she'd seen my financial calculator on my way out to an exam. She told me she'd tossed it in the donation pile that she'd taken to the Salvation Army this morning because it was "clutter." I needed it to take an exam required to pass the class, to graduate next month. The only place to buy a replacement was closed. FML
Today, I missed my history exam because they'd changed the day. Apparently they sent out an email to let everyone know. Too bad I'd banned myself from the internet in order to study for the exam. FML
Today, my mother decided to "help me" by throwing out the stack of papers on my desk. Unfortunately, those were all my notes for my final exams. FML
Today, I've been forced to start packing to go on a vacation with my parents, because they say I've been studying too hard and need a break. I've hardly studied at all and was planning on making up for it all in the time I had left before finals. I'm screwed. FML
Today, I asked my mom to help my daughter with Zoom school while I handled an emergency. When I got back, I found out my mom went through my laptop containing all my documents, my emails and even the journal my therapist suggested I keep. She says she was looking for a Zoom link. Yeah right. FML
Today, my mom found out that I’ve been faking my exam grades, turning my 30s to 80s and 40s to 90s on the paper exams. She got access to my online student portal and saw my real grades. I'm grounded for the rest of the school year. FML
Today, I found out that yesterday's exam, which I left almost blank, had been leaked 3 hours prior. I hadn't been able to see it because my phone was out of juice. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She just took the router, so you can connect directly to your computer and problem solved. You know what routers are for , right?

The library? a friends house? the internet on your phone if you have to? there are a lot of options out there if you use your brain... not entirely sure I'd want you as my psychologist if you can't figure that out.

You could buy a new router, USB tether with your phone, go to the library, ask a friend...

I understand this problem op. My dad used to take the computer mouse with him so I wouldn't use it, but then I would have homework that I couldn't do on the computer anymore. This is the reason I absolutely hated online homework in school. Technology fails too much for it to be a good idea, and parents don't understand that we use the computer for homework too so it just causes more stress.

Why wouldn't you just buy your own mouse for when this happens? You can also do most things without a mouse by using key commands.

pffft. You don't need a mouse. Just use keyboard shortcuts.

Library's usually have computers unless you have a laptop then maybe a restaurant or fast food place that has free wifi?

Plug an ethernet cable in from your modem.

The library, campus, starbucks, if your phone can be used as a hot spot, a friend or neighbor, lots of options. I used to take some online tests for classes on my phone if I wasn't at home.

It might be a pain but maybe using your data on your phone or maybe take it at a neighbours house...or library but libraries are sometimes a little picky about things online at times
