Did this and it worked thank you kind Reddit user

[u/Fun_Succotash4215]

i slept through a midterm once. I emailed the prof and she said i could retake it in her office, with a 21 point penalty. It worked out in the end.

Good luck god speed

[u/deliriousbozo → u/Fun_Succotash4215]

Worked out entirely with no penalty ✌️

[u/Deleted__- → u/deliriousbozo]

Please take the correct lesson away regardless of the outcome here.

[u/deliriousbozo → u/Deleted__-]

Absolutely. The lesson is to not repeat even if it worked out ok.

That's my biggest fear

[u/ComradeBevo]

Graduated almost 10 years ago and I still have nightmares about this.

[u/Flare_hunter → u/ComradeBevo]

I graduated many years ago and have taught at UT. Now, I have nightmares where I forgot I was supposed to give a class.

[u/CategoryNormal149 → u/Flare_hunter]

Isn’t it more of a nightmare to miss an exam than to miss giving a lecture (I’d assume?)

[u/Ok_Experience_5151]

You had one job…

[u/deliriousbozo → u/Ok_Experience_5151]

I KNOW

[u/daadaad]

Set an alarm for final exams, please.

[u/deliriousbozo → u/daadaad]

I SLEPT THROUGH IT

[u/Cowcow0506 → u/deliriousbozo]

Get Alarmy, saved my life lol

[u/_MagicSmoke_ → u/Cowcow0506]

I second alarmy. Big things put on a barscanner across the room + 15 squats

[u/Layer_God2352 → u/deliriousbozo]

Go to sounds and haptics in settings and turn up ringtones and alerts?

[u/YueLin3 → u/deliriousbozo]

Well first things first, get in contact with your professor ASAP and see if you can reschedule a time to take it. I’ve had a couple that were willing to let me, especially if I had a good excuse.

As for alarms, set like 20, max volume on your devices before you go to sleep.

[u/Different_Pie_6531]

I have nightmares about this scenario

[u/deliriousbozo]

Update: I’m making up the exam this week, thank God

[u/CactusRider1776]

Get it together. This is the time in life you got to get it together on a basic level.

You may not be able to finish school, but you can always finish concrete

[u/Bearded_Toast → u/mgj6818]

See this guy gets it

[u/DS8KUHD → u/Bearded_Toast]

holy projection 😭

[u/Bearded_Toast → u/DS8KUHD]

It was a joke

[u/Look_Signal → u/DS8KUHD]

It’s from Caddyshack (1980)

[u/lvearbuds]

sorry to be a party pooper but i overslept my physics 1 final and had 30 out of 90 mins remaining and finished with a spectacular & well deserved 55 🤩

[u/thebreeze97]

How do you oversleep things like this lol get it together

[u/deliriousbozo → u/thebreeze97]

Exactly my point

[u/YueLin3 → u/thebreeze97]

Everyone does it at least once I feel. Late night studying combined with early morning exams was the bane of my existence.

[u/No-Check4283]

nightmare fuel

[u/CategoryNormal149]

This has happened to me in the past, they let me take the makeup exam 🙏😭

[u/LannieandMissy]

UT orientation, they even talked about this. They said no failures just learning experiences. I’m glad it worked out for you.
May I suggest…I started sleeping through my alarms as an adult. My mind had grown accustomed to the alarm and it was not waking me up. Change your alarm. It will do wonders. Especially if you have stayed up long hours studying for an exam.
For something important, I set three alarms. Each alarm is different, and the last alarm is what I call abandon ship alarm, lol. It will scare you awake.
This will also allow you to get better sleep and not worry you’re going to miss something important.
Good luck.

Send an email to prof. If they don’t cooperate, Q drop.
