Monday:

12:00a.m.  – set an alarm for 8:00 a.m. Tell yourself you’re going to wake up early and study for your exam.

8:00a.m. –

11:55a.m. – Wake up. Look at the time. Run.

12:00p.m.-12:35p.m. – Go to sit-down lunch. Spend 35 minutes complaining about how you shouldn’t be here and should be studying for your period 5 exam. 

12:40p.m. – Tell yourself you’re going to spend an hour studying for your period 5 exam, because you woke up late. Open up your book and start working.

12:45p.m. – Your friend asks you to play a round of Super Smash Bros. You say yes.

1:55p.m. – You play your “last” game of Smash.

2:00p.m.-4:00p.m – Take the period 5 exam. 

4:02p.m.-5:30p.m. – Play Super Smash Bros. 

5:30p.m.-7:00p.m. – Eat dinner. Finish eating at 5:45p.m. Stay for another hour because you don’t want to study for your seventh period exam.

7:00p.m. – You take your bag and start heading to the library. Your friend asks you to stop by the dorm first. You agree, but only just for a minute.

7:01p.m.-8:45p.m. – Play Super Smash Bros.

8:45p.m.-9:45p.m. – Go to Bewkes for extra help. Play Super Smash Bros in Bewkes.

9:45p.m. – Have a panic attack because you haven’t studied for any of your exams.

9:50p.m.-10:15p.m. – Study for your period 7 exam.

10:15p.m. – Tell yourself you’ll perform better if you get sleep. Set your alarm for 5:00a.m. so you can study tomorrow morning

Tuesday:

5:00a.m. – Your alarm goes off, waking up your entire dorm. You remain asleep.

8:00a.m. – Wake up feeling well rested. You open your door to find a dozen pairs of angry, tired eyes staring at you with dead, blank faces.

8:15a.m. – Take a cold shower because showering cold is better for your body, mind, and life. You can’t change my mind and stop calling me a psychopath because it’s true.

8:30a.m. – Go to breakfast feeling well rested because you slept in, and awake and alert because you took a cold shower. Spend the next hour studying the flashcards you threw together in 10 minutes last night. 

9:30a.m.-11:30a.m. – Take period 7 exam. 

11:30a.m. – Go to lunch. Eat 7,000 calories because your exam drained all your energy.

1:00p.m. – You’re tired. Take a nap. You deserve this.

2:00p.m.-4:00p.m. – Take period 6 exam. 

4:30p.m.-6p.m. – Go to your “optional” practice. 

6:45p.m. – lie down. Try not to cry. Cry a lot.

8:45p.m.-9:45p.m. – Head over to the dining hall to quickly grab some pancakes before immediately going back to work. Spend the rest of the night in the dining hall.

10:15p.m. – Your scheme snaps you out of nowhere because they don’t have a second period exam. Dejectedly leave them on delivered because you don’t have time for that.

Wednesday:

2:00a.m. – Go to sleep!! It’s 2:00a.m!! You have an exam in seven hours!

8:00a.m. – wake up. Look at the time. Go back to sleep.

9:50a.m. – wake up.

10:00a.m.-11:30a.m. – Take period 2 exam. 

12:00p.m.-12:35p.m. – Go to advisory lunch. Drop the dessert as you’re carrying it to the table. The whole dining hall starts clapping.

1:00p.m.-4:00p.m. – your friend invites you to the library for a group study. Three hours later you realize you haven’t even gotten through a quarter of the material.

5:30p.m.-6:30p.m. – go to dinner. Pick at your food for an hour because you’re not hungry.

6:45p.m.-8:30p.m. – Study for your period 1 and 3 exams. What did you think I was going to say? You have two exams tomorrow. Why wouldn’t you be studying?

8:45p.m.-9:45p.m. –  Eat three plates of quesadillas and two bowls of ice cream because you didn’t eat anything at dinner.

Thursday:

7:00a.m. – These two exams are the toughest ones so you get up early to study.

9:30a.m.-11:30a.m. – Take period 3 exam. 

2:00p.m.-4:00p.m. – Take period 1 exam. 

4:30p.m.-8:30p.m. – you only have one exam tomorrow. And you haven’t played Super Smash Bros since Monday. Take some time off. Play a couple rounds. Maybe some COD and 2k as well.

8:45p.m.-9:45p.m. – Tendi boiiisss….LETS GOOOOO!!!!

Friday:

9:30a.m.-11:30a.m. – Take period 4 exam. 

12:00p.m. – Sleep for 96 hours.
