As you probably know, my time management is... trash.475Please respect copyright.PENANAP71I4YGmm8
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 475Please respect copyright.PENANAVVRfTUBUgS
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.475Please respect copyright.PENANAiLkBAICAEy
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.475Please respect copyright.PENANArFGRxE7KPl
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.475Please respect copyright.PENANAHH4usnNrRl
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. 475Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2A8d33Oph
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.475Please respect copyright.PENANAfOkRzqzvJa
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:475Please respect copyright.PENANAotKmMJpFBb
Summer school assignment.475Please respect copyright.PENANACvQsGxGzOM
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.475Please respect copyright.PENANAKG3Bgfeory
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.475Please respect copyright.PENANAdObRjQVyjC
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAUf8kUaPklA
475Please respect copyright.PENANAtsaQNrLq3J
Number 2:475Please respect copyright.PENANAB7hXqLAcUn
This JUST happened.475Please respect copyright.PENANApV08iOmPSC
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANA6F7VSmBtv4
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.475Please respect copyright.PENANABzPAHlS4X1
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.475Please respect copyright.PENANAXaAnKDZNT5
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAPgw8YDtW3m
475Please respect copyright.PENANAVvCuQJSDxm
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. 475Please respect copyright.PENANALFfQSVpxXg
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 475Please respect copyright.PENANAA0W8PcpY5M
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANA5wKDNkdMLa
475Please respect copyright.PENANAv6UhksE0vL
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.475Please respect copyright.PENANAihc21iTcvC
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?475Please respect copyright.PENANA5dHodPfwu8
There's no way that small change could work.475Please respect copyright.PENANAO9JdNZzieV
475Please respect copyright.PENANAI3CVKiK8k1
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAiPxh0FvVmr
475Please respect copyright.PENANA9bEppuj9vH
Number 1:475Please respect copyright.PENANAJujrOKwZe1
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. 475Please respect copyright.PENANAIunyu5Wa4J
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAbBslY0ymlH
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. 475Please respect copyright.PENANAcoJoFDUypn
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. 475Please respect copyright.PENANAhNm1lA40aI
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.475Please respect copyright.PENANApxAkYgDCKY
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.475Please respect copyright.PENANASHFRcpRWZr
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.475Please respect copyright.PENANADQwyLktVP8
475Please respect copyright.PENANAHmT3p72iUB
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.475Please respect copyright.PENANALhBenRX2GN
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAyLAvpa7PKC
The lecturer was impressed.475Please respect copyright.PENANAIlHjG1Ve2b
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 475Please respect copyright.PENANAIsANn8XFxu
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. 475Please respect copyright.PENANAUjYXzaq1Wj
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.475Please respect copyright.PENANApDsHQe9qM5
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.475Please respect copyright.PENANAIQNOWGfGLP
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.475Please respect copyright.PENANAOtVGnxpO8m
475Please respect copyright.PENANAVh8ah4Ekw9
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.475Please respect copyright.PENANA4HAxQZAEOG
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.475Please respect copyright.PENANAeUycYrC9SI
Crap.475Please respect copyright.PENANAFJXEqynRaZ
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAXjEgZzh8ZN
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 475Please respect copyright.PENANAhmWnn29dyB
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.475Please respect copyright.PENANAYFzyPSi6rJ
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.475Please respect copyright.PENANAhwSWXCu1sO

To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 475Please respect copyright.PENANATHmGqe1Lkc
Whoops.475Please respect copyright.PENANARlkBj1Phhe
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!475Please respect copyright.PENANAKdknuDHlPm
