Alright, folks, welcome to yet another episode of "I Swear I’ll Study Today", an ongoing series where I confidently plan my day and then proceed to ignore those plans with the dedication of a main character refusing to train until the final battle.
Morning Delusions of Productivity (Filler Episode) 🌅
I woke up at 11:30 AM (don’t judge me) with the noble intention of diving straight into cybersecurity research—because, you know, being productive is a personality trait now. I spent a solid chunk of time exploring HackerOne, Bugcrowd, and Coursera, figuring out how to freelance and collect certifications like they’re Infinity Stones.
But then, I made the classic mistake—I opened YouTube.
And who was waiting for me? Technoblade. 🐷👑 His legendary Minecraft plays sucked me in like a black hole. I told myself, "Just one video," and, well... you already know how that story goes.
At some point, I had an out-of-body experience where I saw my future self regretting every life decision. But instead of snapping out of it, I just kept watching, because apparently, the laws of productivity do not apply when you’re in a deep YouTube spiral.
Procrastination Arc: Boss Battle vs. Self-Control 🎮
Fast forward to 5 PM, and guess what? Not a single math problem was solved. Instead of embracing my study arc, I went full side-quest mode and hit up a gaming parlour.
Played The Last of Us Part 2 for two hours—because nothing screams academic success like surviving in a post-apocalyptic world.
I reached the part where Ellie needed to find gasoline to open the East-2 gate, which ironically mirrors my real life—except instead of gasoline, I’m desperately searching for motivation to open my math book. 📖
But wait, there’s more. Because clearly, my main character instincts were in full effect, I went to McDonald's 🍔 with a friend right after. He got a veg burger, I got a chicken burger, and we both topped it off with ice cream—because why not add another side quest to the day?
By 7:30 PM, reality hit me—HARD.
⏳ I had two days left before my math board exam... and so far, my preparation was more filler than actual plot progression.
Tea Break Kidnapping & Bike Ride Detour ☕🏍️
Just when I thought I was finally going to start studying, my roommate had other plans.
He literally pulled me out of my bed and FORCIBLY DRAGGED ME OUT for tea. Now, I love tea as much as the next guy, but when I say dragged, I mean it—no choice, no debate, just pure brute force.
Before I knew it, we were outside, drinking tea like two old men contemplating life. ☕ But it didn’t stop there—we ended up on a random bike ride after that. Just casually cruising around, wind in my face, momentarily forgetting that I have an exam in two days and should probably be panicking right now.
By the time I finally got back to my room, it was already 10 PM. 😶
Dinner, ASMR Coding, and Yet Another Delay 🍽️💻
At 10:15 PM, I finally sat down for dinner. But instead of eating in silence like a normal person, I ended up watching an ASMR coding video—you know, the ones where some guy calmly builds a Spotify webpage with HTML and CSS while you question all your life decisions.
Something about the soft keyboard sounds and methodical coding process was just too satisfying.
And, of course, my brain went: "I should learn web development too."
Mind you, I have an exam in two days. But sure, let’s consider picking up an entirely new skill instead. 🤡
Emergency Study Plan: Crunch Time Training Montage ⏳📚
With zero options left, I did what every desperate student does—I rewrote my study plan as if that would magically give me more time.
Plot twist: It didn’t.
But this time, I had no choice. This was the training arc. This was do-or-die.
March 6: Night Study Plan 📝
✅ 11:10 PM - 12 AM
🎥 Watch a 1-hour crash course covering the most important math formulas and concepts. (Because if I can’t learn everything, I can at least pretend I did.)
✅ 12 AM - 2 AM
📖 Focused practice on 3D Geometry, Probability, and Matrices—solving past-year questions and examples.
✅ 2 AM - 4 AM
✏️ Solve full-length past-year questions on Definite Integration and Vector Algebra.
✅ 4 AM - 5 AM
🌀 Formula recap + error analysis from practice problems.
✅ 5 AM - 6 AM
⏳ Rest (because sleep is still a thing, apparently).
This is the official plan—whether I stick to it is a completely different question.
Salt Addiction: The True Final Boss 🧂
Between procrastinating and panicking, I had a very random but deep conversation with my mom about salt addiction. Turns out, we all unknowingly consume WAY more sodium than our bodies need.
And the worst part? Salt triggers dopamine, making us crave it more—like a never-ending cycle of bad decisions.
Just like my study habits. 💀
So here’s my pro-level strategy for beating the salt boss fight:
✔ Eat fresh foods – Fruits, veggies, and lean meats are S-tier power-ups.
✔ Read food labels – So you don’t get sneak-attacked by hidden sodium.
✔ Cook at home – Because DIY buffs > store-bought nerfs.
✔ Use spices & herbs – They add flavour without making you a salt-dependent NPC.
Spanish Music and Duolingo: My Side Quest Continues 🎵🌎
Now, let’s talk about my side mission—Spanish.
I’ve been on a 147-day Duolingo streak, which at this point feels like a slow-burn power-up arc. Learning a language is basically grinding EXP daily, and Spanish music has been my training soundtrack.
If you want to hear what’s been keeping me sane, here’s my playlist: [click me for power-up]. 🎧✨
Final Thoughts: The Clock is Ticking ⏰
With two days left for my math exam, today was a mix of chaos, comedy, and last-minute redemption arcs.
From procrastinating with video games 🎮 to getting kidnapped for tea and a bike ride 🏍️ to having an existential crisis at 7:30 PM, it’s been a ride.
But hey, as long as I stick to the study plan, I might just pull off a last-second victory.
Will I actually follow through?
Will I defeat the math boss fight?
Or will I fall victim to yet another side quest?
Find out in the next log—hopefully with less procrastination and more actual studying.
