Today, I saw a person in my class completing a project that was due two periods later and that they had just started in the bathroom. They got a better grade than me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finished a huge project for work. It took 3+ days and I was very proud of it. Except when I submitted it to my boss, he said that he'd already asked another person to do it. He used that person's project, not mine. FML
Today, after working like a caffeine-fuelled thunderstorm for 9 hours straight on an art project, my 2 friends informed me that it was due next week. I slept for 10 hours, and then went to my class without my project, thinking I lucked out in the long run. Clearly not, as it was due today. FML
Today, I submitted a poem for my English class. I had fun writing it, so I wrote a second which was not nearly as good. My procrastinator of a friend never did his, so I gave him my extra poem. Mine was given a 75% while "his" received a 93%. FML
Today, I've been making extremely good progress in my online class. Or at least… I was, until the deadline to complete it was suddenly pushed a whole month forward, causing me to be "behind." Then my teacher had the nerve to email me, telling me I needed to catch up. FML
Today, I finished a 6-part project. It took me 7 hours of straight work because my partner decided I should do it alone. I then learned that the reason my partner did not help me was because the teacher e-mailed the leader of every group, saying the project was cancelled. FML
Today, I'm grading final projects for a junior level college class. A student finally turned in their work, after months of encouragement and coaxing. Half of it was plain wrong, the rest had so many spelling and grammatical mistakes, it appeared to be written by a drunk autocorrect program. FML
Today, I finished my classwork and my homework early. Since we weren't allowed to leave the room, I decided to draw. My teacher noticed and gave me detention for "goofing off" when I should be doing my work. When I told the teacher I was already done, they gave me a second detention for "attempting to defy them". FML
Today, I accidentally farted in the middle of class. Thinking I got away with it, I just kept doing my work until some kid across the room says, "I could have done better." FML
Today, I tried to turn in a final exam online. When I went to check if it had been submitted, Blackboard told me it did. My grade told a different story. FML
Today, I asked my classmate if she was ready for the final tomorrow and she said it was yesterday. I'm not a bad student - I have 90+ average in the class - but the final was 50% of my grade. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I knew a guy in high school that slept through every AP class but never made less than an A

I remember when me and my lab partner did research for a project but only put it together 5 minutes before the presentation because he forgot to put it together (we had to do it crazy fast lol) . Also, we were missing group members but got a good grade

Procrastination at its finest.

I remember I once had a science fair project with a friend that we'd completely forgot about that was due in like three periods and had to fake all of our experiments. We got a C+. Last minute pressure is not that cruel, sometimes...

I've gotten 100s on projects I started two hours before being due!

Okay, first of all, what the heck kind of "project" is this that he started in the bathroom? Secondly, I'm grading projects in my classroom, and one of my students confessed she did had just done hers the night before (they had 2 weeks to work on them) but it was honestly done so well that she got an A regardless. I had students who didn't procrastinate not do as well because their execution just wasn't as good.

Some people do well under pressure. What was the project exactly?

A week ago we had a group project where we had to do a 90 minute seminar in front of the class, we planned the entire thing over 3 hours and made most of it up on the spot but it turned out really well and the teacher was impressed, sometimes things just fall into place last minute
