Art of Cramming

It's a thing all students learn and improve. In times when cheating is virtually impossible, the teacher's eyes are just like eagle-eyes watching your every move, cramming before exams is the perfect tool to get the answer. It's a know today, forget tomorrow kind of stuff. We're connoisseurs when it comes to this.

Here's how it goes:

The week before the exams, we think of the exam the next week but put it off to a later date. On the weekend of the exam, we try to open the notes then close it again. On the day before the exam, we sleep and watch television. We cram the night before. Literally, the night before. We don't sleep. We expect puffed-up eye bags with decreased physical activities and mood swings the next day.

We start reading. We hear the buzzing sound the silence brings. The clock slowly ticks away. A few minutes, a few hours. Then we realize that we do not understand a thing. Memorizing it is not a feasible thing to do. Not with a limited time. Oh well, even with lots of time, I don't like memorizing--stressful, VERY. So going back, when we realize we do not get one single concept, we get the highlighter and highlight every single thing we think is important. Take note: It's what we think is important. It may not be important at all.

It's like 3 in the morning and we continue to strive. We get so sleepy that words move and jumble. WTH, they're moving. They don't seem to mean anything anymore. So that's the time we feel hopeless. We throw our notes away, brush our teeth (from all the snacks and coffee), and turn off the lights.

We walk towards our bed while praying we pass the exams. We have the gut feeling we won't pass. Then, we sleep like babies.

The next day, we cram again an hour before the exam, trying to fit everything in our little heads. "Come On", we often tell ourselves. Shit, we call out when the teacher walks inside the classroom.

"What the Fuck, she's here!"
"Oh Man, I wish I could throw her away"
"She's still alive?!"

Turns out, we pass the exams. Cramming is the way
