As you probably know, my time management is... trash.491Please respect copyright.PENANArMebTYkl2E
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAclDGhPdXFM
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.491Please respect copyright.PENANALATQTpV4ya
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.491Please respect copyright.PENANAP2iq9S6ONK
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.491Please respect copyright.PENANAZvKlJP1Abt
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. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAGCqlvPmiRz
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.491Please respect copyright.PENANAILZUx2uc52
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:491Please respect copyright.PENANA16RqKBYQHl
Summer school assignment.491Please respect copyright.PENANAKq6yhtDEMW
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.491Please respect copyright.PENANAoTmVBhueSG
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.491Please respect copyright.PENANAuyVgGZkKe2
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANAy7jPDjNNX8
491Please respect copyright.PENANAtMXgmlXZqh
Number 2:491Please respect copyright.PENANA83GAHoBuAS
This JUST happened.491Please respect copyright.PENANAfndy4Dfdwx
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANAvUOBJNT3MQ
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.491Please respect copyright.PENANAvMs7EnLFXc
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.491Please respect copyright.PENANAqjsc4DMAET
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANAtCH75aJXdg
491Please respect copyright.PENANAlHETCyefTD
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. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAM9calATAtP
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 491Please respect copyright.PENANA3SrjbTkfnB
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANAjNSTzBNAOr
491Please respect copyright.PENANACDQwSkiZK7
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.491Please respect copyright.PENANAYK1SH1bg37
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?491Please respect copyright.PENANAyOmyNQZWsx
There's no way that small change could work.491Please respect copyright.PENANAmmitMWB6nv
491Please respect copyright.PENANA8QRhuxALiL
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANAA1TGDSh2bg
491Please respect copyright.PENANAxgUYri0cWR
Number 1:491Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7OCqAZ9n8
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. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAMrxfJqlLsA
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANAyHB9KmOnam
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. 491Please respect copyright.PENANArTulSSoOUp
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. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAMdb0unAhdo
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.491Please respect copyright.PENANAop4lJEVKne
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.491Please respect copyright.PENANANZPMWp5axu
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.491Please respect copyright.PENANA0xmpwS3AEs
491Please respect copyright.PENANA3BL6g9tmSH
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.491Please respect copyright.PENANApyzaWKWNf2
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANAPRONTrufew
The lecturer was impressed.491Please respect copyright.PENANAEwif1OvOzr
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAHkzISDrpHD
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. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAz25orehjMR
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.491Please respect copyright.PENANAVq5cr6JztW
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.491Please respect copyright.PENANAmCQrNFLzFX
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.491Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1NtP2kjhK
491Please respect copyright.PENANASg1gK3QZW5
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.491Please respect copyright.PENANAWcST20uu0F
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.491Please respect copyright.PENANA8AKaNi8WMn
Crap.491Please respect copyright.PENANArmGXkIkYm7
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANAtuUnrUpU7I
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 491Please respect copyright.PENANAtKOHrW0KP2
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.491Please respect copyright.PENANAxJA6nxlQqs
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.491Please respect copyright.PENANAncbXbOrJrd

To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 491Please respect copyright.PENANAdRR1B4rfl0
Whoops.491Please respect copyright.PENANAPLGZBlv9jK
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!491Please respect copyright.PENANAKQno3TKmEF
