Cramming For An Exam: Michael Scott Style

24 Hours Before Exam (11:00 AM Sunday):

Your confidence level is at an all-time high. You feel like you have all the time in the world. Five chapters, twenty-four hours, you’ve got this!

23 Hours Before Exam (12:00 PM Sunday):

Five chapters, twenty-four hours, what were you thinking?? One hour down, three slides done, confidence level going down.

22 Hours Before Exam (1:00 PM Sunday):

First break because damn, you deserve it, or at least that’s what you tell yourself.

20 Hours Before Exam (3:00 PM Sunday):

Now that you’ve wasted two hours on a thirty minute break, time to get back on track. Come on, pull up those slides, finish that first chapter!

19 Hours Before Exam (4:00 PM Sunday):

First chapter down, absolutely nothing understood. No time to waste figuring it out, time to move on.

18 Hours Before Exam (5:00 PM Sunday):

Halfway through second chapter, finally something clicks!

17 Hours Before Exam (6:00 PM Sunday):

“I see it, I want it, I dream it, I work hard, I grind ‘til I own it.”

Beyonce’s lyrics have never held more truth ‘til now. You’re on a roll, everything’s making sense. Confidence levels going way up.

16 Hours Before Exam (7:00 PM Sunday):

You finally meet up with your classmates and you realize everything you thought you knew was all wrong.

15 Hours Before Exam (8:00 PM Sunday):

Everyone’s actually wrong; no one gets anything. But hey, at least you’re in it together.

14 ½ Hours Before Exam (8:30 PM Sunday):

You think maybe moving locations will bring some hope and you set up camp in Weinberg for the night. Spoiler: it doesn’t make a difference.

14 Hours and 3 Minutes Before Exam (8:57 PM Sunday):

Since Starbs closes at an unreasonable 9:00 PM, you’re rushing to DeNaples to get that one last kick of caffeine you know you’ll need. And why not stop at Pod for a Monster too?? Get all the help you can get.

13 Hours Before Exam (10:00 PM Sunday):

Going through all your notes takes way more time than you have. Might as well test your knowledge with a practice exam.

12 Hours Before Exam (11:00 PM Sunday):

When you think you aced that practice exam, but then look at the answers posted online.

11 Hours Before Exam (12:00 AM Monday):

When the double shot espresso was not enough, you crack open a cold Monster and start chugging.

10 Hours Before Exam (1:00 AM Monday):

Not only are you questioning this class, you’re questioning your major in general. The new tab on your laptop is now the University course catalog.

9 Hours Before Exam (2:00 AM Monday):

Prime snack time, but you’ve been studying for fifteen hours, so things are getting a little weird.

8 Hours Before Exam (3:00 AM Monday):

You and your friends are starting to give up and are trying to find any way possible to pass this exam.

7 Hours Before Exam (4:00 AM Monday):

When you realize you can’t focus anymore and you convince yourself that you will review everything in the morning if you go to bed now and wake up early.

1 Hour Before Exam (10:00 AM Monday):

You wake up after “Snooze”ing your alarm for what seemed like two times, then realize you’ve really overslept by two hours.

30 Minutes Before Exam (10:30 AM Monday):

Packing your backpack, trying to give yourself a little pep talk.

Time of Exam (11:00 AM Monday):

It’s go-time, this is what you’ve been waiting for!

Leaving the Exam (11:50 AM Monday):

Just happy to be finished.

(11:51 AM Monday):

When you realize you and your friend got the same answer.

(11:52 AM Monday):

When you realize you have to do it all over again for your exam tomorrow.
