Bro, lemme tell you about the biggest L I’ve taken in my college life.
Like full-on “main character in a tragedy” type.
Yes, I studied the wrong subject for an exam.
And no, I didn't run away. I still showed up like a legend. 💀
The Build-Up: The Calm Before the Stupidity
So basically, I was chilling the whole week because I thought I was on top of everything.
“This time I’ll be prepared,” I told myself.
I even color-coded my timetable and made a study schedule like those Instagram toppers. 🤓✍️
The exam? Advanced Thermodynamics.
What I studied? Digital Signal Processing.
Bro, I even made notes. With headings. And highlighters. 💅
How It Happened (aka My Brain is the Villain)
Turns out, my brain pulled a full April Fool's in July.
I saw “DSP” written on my whiteboard and assumed that was my next paper.
Reality check? DSP was next week.
Thermodynamics was tomorrow.

The Night Before: Denial, Panic & Snacks
8:00 PM — Me: “Time to revise what I already know. Feeling confident.”
9:30 PM — Friend calls: “Bro, you did thermo or what? I’m crying.”
Me: “Haha… Thermo is next week na?”
Friend: "😐 Bro check the date again."
That was the moment I saw my whole life flash before my eyes.
Including the birth of my cousin’s dog. 🐶
I checked the timetable.
I zoomed. I enhanced. I cried.
Thermodynamics: 9 AM.
The All-Nighter That Achieved Nothing
I attempted the impossible: studying an entire semester in one night.
I watched a YouTube lecture at 2x speed. The prof was talking like a chipmunk on Red Bull. 🐿️
I fell asleep on Page 3 of the textbook.
Dreamt of getting slapped by Newton.
Woke up drooling on a diagram I didn’t understand.
By 6 AM, I was like: “Might as well go. Let’s vibe with the question paper.” 🫠
The Exam Hall Disaster 🎭
Walked in with a poker face.
From outside: calm, composed.
From inside: “Bhai tu mar gaya hai.”
Got the paper.
Read Question 1. Didn’t understand the words.
Looked around. Everyone was writing essays.
I was writing my name.
In cursive. Twice. For aesthetics. 🤡
Meme Moments from the Paper:
Question: Define the Carnot Cycle.
Me: I wrote, "A cycle that cannot." 🚴♂️❌
Question: Derive the equation.
Me: “Due to unfortunate circumstances, derivation is not possible today.”
Question: Explain with diagram.
Me: Drew a sad face.
Labeled it “me.”
The Aftermath
Came out of the hall. My friends were discussing answers.
I was like: “Which part of the paper did you feel the most emotional connection with?”
One guy said he left one 5-mark question.
I said, “Bro I left the subject.”
Moral of the Story:
Always triple-check the timetable.
And maybe don’t rely on your whiteboard. Or your memory. Or your life decisions.
But hey—at least I showed up.
That’s called character development. 🎬🧠✨
Final thought:
If confidence was a subject,
I would’ve topped.
😎📉📚
Tag someone who’s done this or will do this soon. Don’t lie. We know your vibes. 🤭
