Hi. Yes, it’s me Brainlagblog (Lagging student) . The student who tried everything… except getting good marks.
If you're reading this, you probably studied more hours than you slept, sacrificed your social life (if you had one), and still ended up scoring so low that even the attendance percentage feels proud.
Let me walk you through my tragic love story with books, hope, and disappointment.
☕ Phase 1: Motivation – The Fake Beginning
I woke up one fine day, did my morning chai ritual and said to myself,
"Bas. From today, full serious. 14 hours study daily. No distractions."
So I made the perfect timetable. Colour-coded, divided into chapters, breaks, revision slots, and even spiritual time for crying.
But I forgot the most important thing – sticking to it.
📚 Phase 2: The Hardcore Grind (a.k.a. Acting Busy)
For 14 days straight:
- I sat on my chair.
- Opened the same page.
- Highlighted random lines (even the index).
- Drank 3 cups of coffee.
- Scrolled through 47 motivational reels.
- And somehow convinced my brain that this was called studying.
Reality: My brain retained less than what a broken chalkboard could.
🤯 Phase 3: The Night Before Exam – Panic Mode Activated
I realized I had covered:
- 30% syllabus
- 60% doubt
- 100% anxiety
Called my topper friend. They were already on 2nd revision. I, on the other hand, was just discovering that the syllabus had a back page.
😶 Phase 4: The Exam
Walked into the hall like a warrior.
- First question: I knew nothing.
- Second question: Same.
- Third question: I thought I knew… until I read it twice.
I started writing random answers with full confidence. At one point, I think I wrote lyrics of an Arijit Singh song just to fill the space
🪦 Phase 5: The Results – R.I.P. My Hopes
When I opened the result portal, even the website hesitated:
"Are you sure you want to see this?"
And there it was. 14%.
Even my attendance was higher. Even the number of pending assignments was higher.
🤡 Moral of the Story?
Sometimes, you do everything "right" and still get it wrong.
But hey, if you’re gonna fail, at least fail with flair.
Let your report card say,
"Yes, he fell… but he fell like a king."
If you liked this blog and also failed recently, congrats. You're my people.
Hit the comments and tell me your marks horror story. Let’s heal together 😂
