As you probably know, my time management is... trash.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHTbwijzA1
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeMzMqx8Q7
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjjs45vJHc
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2p0G7T1WI
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg800719hWu
You can try fake a doctor's certificate, or make some lame excuse, but chances are, depending on the lecturer, it's pretty unlikely they'll give you a deadline if you make an excuse so late. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJZ2yUOXmm
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4FUOetxgy
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQYi79p5cR
Summer school assignment.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVgCox6OJT
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd0U1WStTn
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RJoXY3dl1
The reason why this was number 3 was because while I was working on it, I was fairly confident I would finish it, and get a reasonable grade.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcVO3Dbmd6
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGDtrzsv2v
Number 2:541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ThrxyZ1X
This JUST happened.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pnf3jmrFF
So I was working on one of my hardest assignments yet, and the lecturer warned us plenty beforehand... but I had to start it on the last day.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWsWUic7Xj
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BElnfjj0I
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokhLmluxxE
Second time. Correct answer for the easy case. Time limit exceeded for the hard case... but 96% was correct. I knew my work was probably right, but it was too slow.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lF8sljphm
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWwBcrnrKQ
Oh, I was so close to giving up and leaving it right there. I almost did. Because... the thing is, while the due time was in 3 hours, the whole university site was going to go on maintenance in 10 minutes for 4 hours. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IUUt4GhQP
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDl42hmYank
Final try. Instead of changing the foundation of the harder parts, I looked at the easy part... and made a minimal change to my work, hoping that, it would somehow, somehow, make it fast enough.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGigZDxOo5
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjLSJbb8L2
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ764j5emd6
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayrqHrLJ4O
There's no way that small change could work.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTi5Eg6P1I
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrgk8S2jyY
But ALAS, 10 minutes later, I refreshed the website, and TADA - I PASSED. I couldn't believe my eyes. The only reason why this is second is because technically it wasn't last minute.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2TuXTXQk8

Number 1:541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCeV6pyVdI
It was a busy semester. I was stuck on an assignment, and my only chance was asking the lecturer on the day. However, I had work, and by the time I went into the lecturer's office, I only had 30 minutes to finish the question. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3Iy0B6JOX
He gave me some hints, and said to me that most people wouldn't get the question right, and it was nearly impossible to finish it in the time I got left.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLk0NPH9GG
It's really stressful working last minute. I don't recommend it. Your mind goes blank for a few minutes, and you have to push yourself to not get overcome by the stress and THINK. THINK. THINK. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9hMpOVyQi
Ahh... thanks to the lecturer, I figured out the pattern of the question... but I didn't know how to implement it. Time was ticking. 5 minutes. 3 minutes. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj14brvbGD
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg01D4Wtyl
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIQfhhD8vf
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEjXCzez7o
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4GfjicUVM
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX8nLkx2fD
If you're not familiar with code... it doesn't run first try. But thank the stars Stack Exchange knew what they were doing, because it RAN. I saved my file, clicked submit in the last 10 seconds... and done.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgo3418T4x
The lecturer was impressed.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcBZTEvJXj
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFBwM2BBON
When I didn't submit
There have been a fair number of times when I didn't submit an assignment, test, quiz on time. Hell, I miss a lot of quizzes. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5dftgHbGR
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5YDqpBQvJ
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOIN6cKCeP
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ810M1RD14u
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZdBl8MuU5
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2tNvqkEyb
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1llmQkbOU
Crap.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFSsbdfVZi
I emailed him again a while later, but I didn't expect it to be marked. Well... I was screwed for the test, anyway. I wasn't sure on so many of the answers.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgTZYpxRsO
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg4WTa18iD
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULj3UOAcGY
I've also submitted assignments late. Just emailed my lecturer with proof that I've completed it during the same hour... and usually they let me go. It's become sort of a bad habit now... to 2-3 times per semester. I mean, you'll be pushing it if you do it more than once per course. Hehehe...
I swear my GPA isn't THAT bad. My average is just under A sitting at an A-. I really wanted to get that A though... unfortunately I cannot.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8XJ8oXQ8a
541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9d35DQbZn
To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RaBVVv6s1
Whoops.541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeqcWPVlh4
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!541Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxyzGgMvsY
