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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 pulled an all-nighter to finish an essay. I submitted it one minute before the deadline. Later, I opened the file to double-check and realized I'd uploaded my rough draft, containing notes like “THIS PART MAKES NO SENSE, FIX LATER.” The professor then replied, “I agree with your assessments.” FML
Today, I decided to sleep in for 5 extra minutes. Those 5 extra minutes became 55 minutes, which, coincidentally, was roughly the length of the midterm I missed. 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
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 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, after studying all night for an exam, I ran out to catch the bus. On my way to the bus, my hair got caught in a branch for some minutes. Thinking I'd missed the bus but thankfully didn't, I went on. A few minutes later I remembered that my exam had been postponed for 3 hours today. 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 went to bed early, feeling responsible. At 2 a.m., I woke up in a panic because I forgot to set my alarm. While fixing it, I actually turned it off completely. I overslept, missed work, and proved once again that I should never trust myself. FML
Today, after having stayed up all night studying, all the coffee I'd drank to keep me awake hit my gut with a vengeance. I ended up missing two exams because I was emptying my bowels into the toilet all morning. FML

Number one rule for a student; six alarms is still not enough alarms

That really sucks, but don't they usually let absentees make up tests after class or during lunch periods? Also try setting multiple alarms, each a few minutes after the other. Good luck OP.

What's your problem #4? Totally uncalled for and extremely childish.

That's why you should have a pet rooster like me. It's ok though, English isn't important in the long run.

So, you want your neighbours to hate you because of some loud bird in the morning? No thanks. Oh, and you're way off about the English thing. It's not all literature. There's also grammar, punctuation, and communication to learn.

I have to use an alarm app that makes me get up and spin in circles or else I'll just turn them all off. Also to OP, I would take this as a lesson to not study like that anymore. Getting sleep is proven to improve performance on an exam more than studying all night.

So true.
fashionbug9880 22
For me, 41 alarms isn't enough. I've gotten those apps that make you solve math equations to turn it off, make you scan something outside of your room, etc., but I just turn it off and go back to bed. Nothing works for a super exhausted student.

It took me a few reads to figure out what 6 was trying to say.

Always always ALWAYS have at least 3 alarms when you plan on sleeping after an all-nighter!!
Unlovable_Me 14
I have two different alarms for that reason. Perhaps you should do the same to help you.

I've found if given the choice between a couple hours of sleep, or staying up all night. It's always better to stay up. You can't miss the alarm and I generally don't feel as tired.

It's true that you don't feel as tired, but your mental functioning declines when you don't get enough sleep the night before. Not a good idea for an exam
MariaGiovanni 25
that usually works for work not for an exam that needs full mental capability

You must still be in HS. There is usually no such thing in college. The policy at my college is that you have to schedule a retake at least 24hr before the exam if you know that you will miss it. Sleep through the alarm, it is pray that the professor will still allow you to take the retake.

Agree with the above commenter, welcome to the real world #11. There are no make-ups. It's called accountability and responsibility.
KayDee29 31
#11 don't listen to these people. Obviously they don't have the brain capacity to figure out how to click on your profile picture to pull up your profile and see that you haven't even experienced college yet, barely even high school. But yes, these assholes above me are correct. There's rarely ever retakes in college.

I think you're being a bit too defensive, neither of the comments seem to be attacking #11 at all, they were just stating facts.
Lalala579121 28
22 even said "you must still be in HS" as his very first sentence.

email your prof. sometimes they will let you rewrite. Make sure you say it's your fault.
