Top Ten Excuses Why You Didn’t Do Your Assignment L ate night, around 11 o’clock the phone rings. “Hey dude! Do you have the ‘XYZ’ subject assignment image, it’s due TOMORROW and I haven’t even started it yet.” You reply,”Wh-what assignment, what subject, are you serious!?!? Ask around and if you get those images send me as well. Damn!!” Does that ring a bell?? If it doesn’t, then you are the one who is the source of all the assignment images that get circulated around all social groups. Thank you, you are doing a great job, keep it up!! For the rest, which makes up for at least ninety percent or more of the total academic crowd in any college, all I can say is, “I know the feel bro!!” (*hugs*). So what do you do when you don’t have the assignment that was to be submitted today and the teacher clearly mentioned that today is the last day of submission, or so you have heard from your friends? Go in a corner and cry, because life is so unfair?? No, you give excuses!! So I am going to list the top ten excuses that you can or would have used to justify why you forgot your assignment. 1. Someone Died! A perfectly flawless escape route! Death is almost the most sympathized subject, and no one will question your excuse. Well, no one is that rude! You feel bad in your conscious about lying about the death of your loved grandma? Well then your aunt died, it doesn’t necessarily have to be someone that really exists. After all the teacher isn’t going to check if they really have any natural existence or not. Still no? Well then you should have tried doing the assignment at the first basis. 2. I got in an accident! Just like death, accidents have a sympathy factor associated to it. Add in a story that tells how unfortunate you were that you ended up in an accident. With some scratches on your hands and knees as your alibi, you are good to go. Add in, one or two trusted friends to agree to your story and that’s a bonus. Nahh? Well, continue reading and you might find your poison. 3. I gave it to a friend to copy but they never gave it back. One of your friends is absent? Then that is the one who has your assignment! You might get away with the submission but that friend might not be as understanding as the teacher. But what problems can chocolate not solve, give him a Dairy Milk ‘Silk’ and all your problems are gone. 4. My notebook got stolen in the college cafeteria and it had all my work in it. Cafeteria is a place where many things are going on, probably the most active region of the college. So the probability of a theft taking place there is high. Now why would the thief ????((?((0
