Story By :- Muneeba Ashraf ,22

Being a Student, Each one of you must've at least once in your lifetime experienced those Nightmares, Where You failed to reach your Exam Centers on Time or That You Prepared Yourself for the Wrong Subject or Where You blanked out completely and Many More of Such.

Well, One of my Dreams did actually turn into a Sickening reality!

20th April, my Doomsday.

It was my 1st Year's  "Chemistry Board Examination". And I, Being a Highly 'Responsible Lady' (Pun Intended) was sleeping like a log, fully Convinced that the Examination is on the 21st of April and that I still had one full day to Work Through My Revision.

Now, as I live in an Apartment, my Mother saw our Neighbor's girl Going Dressed for an Exam, My Mother asked her. She told It was her Chemistry Exam today.

Let me tell you, we both were in the Same Year and had chosen Science as Majors, so our exams were on the same Dates.

Now, My Mother got Worried and told her that, "Muneeba is Dozing and neither did she tell me to wake her up."

Our neighbor hurriedly showed her the date sheet for Confirmation.

My Mother came Running in the Room and Tried waking me up.

 She was actually smacking me to be precise.

I mumbled in my sleep and tried to convince her as well, that I didn't have an exam that day, 

"She might be having one because she has opted pre-engineering…zzz, So let me sleep."

My Mother, My Savior was not convinced, as she dragged me out of the bed to show to her, my Timetable. Again, Me being extremely Responsible was unable to find my Admit card, on which the Timetable was printed. 

Oh God! What a Scene that was! It was already 9:30, my exam had started at 9 and here I was, at my home in my nightdress looking for my Admit card like a crackhead. I had turned my Room Upside down and still sat Clueless. 

At Last! my Elder sister Found it inside one of my Books, 

Phewww…

But the story doesn't end here. 

My lazy-Careless-ass still had the Audacity to Slip into Bed again without even confirming the date!!

Oh God kill me, Please!!

My mother shook me to show her the dates, and guess what did My wide eyes stare at, IT WAS MY EXAM Afterall and the clock already struck 10, FML!

 It was a miracle that I hadn't Passed out, LOL.

I was trembling and Weeping all over.

In the end, after lots of Drama, I managed to reach the center within five minutes as it was very near to my place and the Teachers cooperated really well. 

Also Unexpectedly, I passed it with Flying colors when the results were announced.

So in this Lockdown Period, as we sit Caged in our own Homes, and Forced to appear for Online Exams. I wonder what would be the odds, now, for such a Thing?
