One Reel Ruined My Exam

Did you ever think one reel could destroy your entire future? Because I didn't. Tomorrow is my exam.

I open my book and say, "Relax, I still have time." Five hours later,

same position, book untouched, phone in hand, I promise myself, "Just one reel."

Cut to 2:00 AM, phone at three percent, brain completely empty. I finally open the

book. First page, new chapter. I whisper, "Wait,

when did this come in the syllabus?" Morning comes. My mom is shouting, "Wake up,

you'll miss the exam." I reply, half asleep, "I'm awake,

just not academically." Exam hall, paper in my hand. Question one says, "Explain in detail."
