The results of a last minute essay done at a beabadoobee concert
I bought tickets to 3 concerts and they all happened to land on the same week which seemed like fun at the time but became extremely stressful. I purchased these tickets back in april/may and was unaware of my fall schedule so I didn’t think too much about it.
THE CHAOS: - Work scheduled me on the day of the concert cause they misread my message so I worked until 3pm
- Had to attend office hours from 3:30pm - 3:45pm cause I missed a week of school
4:10pm: I started on the required readings in the uber and just took notes
4:50pm: arrived in line for the beabadoobee concert and was still reading + taking notes
- went through security, checked my stuff in, and got pit wristbands (GOT BARRICADE!!)
7pm: Keni Titus comes about and delivers such an amazing performance BUT I HAD TO FOCUS AND WRITE MY ESSAY
7pm - 8:40pm: tried my best to enjoy the openers despite all the stress. my anxiety heightens as I read one of my friend’s essay and realize how horrible mine is in comparison. At this point, I already accepted defeat and just wanted to enjoy the concert.
8:40pm - 10:30pm: bea concert, post concert pics, waiting for uber
10:30pm - 11:25pm: continued to write my essay as I waited for the uber + once I was in the uber. THE UBER RIDE WAS HORRIBLE. The driver decided to take an unconventional route to avoid traffic which included so many sharp turns and I eventually became dizzy. The road was so bumpy that I couldn’t even see what I was typing and just closed my eyes for the last 6 minutes.
11:25pm - 11:54pm: I rush home and finish what I could and just submitted it. The essay was supposed to have 900-1100 words but I ended with 775 words but i forgot about it until tonight.
Results: I’m at the supermarket with my kimchi & miso hoodie when I see that a submission comment was made on my essay and it was graded. I was so anxious and just prayed I got a 50% at least and to my surprise…. I GOT 15/15 WHICH IS 100%.
How? I don’t even know. My friend with the amazing essay got a 12/15 which is so insane to me. For more context, I only attended the class 1/4 times in the span of 2 weeks. The mean for the essay as of right now is a 9.4/15 (62.6%). I don’t know how this is possible but I guess my essay just absorbed the amazing vibes of bea’s performance LMAO. Also I would like to apologize to all the people around me who heard me talk about my essay.
TLDR: Started my essay last minute at bea’s concert, didn’t finish, and magically got a 100%
