As someone once said "choices have consequences" and we're making a choice by forgetting things we're supposed to do on time and it leads to consequences, sometimes worse wait for us.
And there was this one time when one event of being forgetful almost wasted an entire year of mine, so let's start with that and what it taught me.
How I forgot my final chemistry exams
It's before pandemic when everything was normal in this world and I was giving my matric exams, everything was going good and I attended all of subjects
In the end, I had practical exams to attend and there was only three subject: physics, chemistry and computer practicals
And If you fail any of these practical it means you've failed in subjective paper as well.
But these practicals were never difficult to do, the difficult part was "10 holidays in each exam"
So I went to attend both physics, computer practicals and just like the other two last one also
had 10 days of holiday break before that last exam
Within next 2 days, Ramadan arrived and everyone got busy with fasting, prayers and routine was changed in that month
While I was following a new routine in those 8 days, playing games, fasting and mobile

I had no idea or clue that my chemistry practical date is coming near
I didn't even had that in my mind and date went by, I had no idea I missed it until my mom said: what happened to your chemistry exam?
And I was like which one? The moment that I realised oh lord, I've missed the date than I rushed to check date sheet and yea I missed the date
I thought there will be a solution
Went to school same day and asked them if it's possible to give that practical on a different date but they refused and gave no solution
I realised it's too late and gave up.. that kinda broke me because I knew when I'll get results I'll be failed in one subject just because I forgot to attend an exam that too it was the last one.
This was the first time in my life when I failed in a subject and it wasn't because my performance was poor it happened because I forgot.
I blamed myself for months
And at the end I had to reappear in both subjective and practicals of that subject aka chemistry which used to be my favourite subject.
That time I learnt the importance of reading dates more than once and setting reminders to not miss any event/date like exams.
Back then we used to have paper date sheet and roll number slips which sucks but hopefully now students have digital one.
Anyways, this is the story of mine how I failed for the first and last time in my student life as well as only time I forgot something very important where my life depends on it.
It was unfortunate but part of the lore so looking back at that time I see I've changed a lot in these years and that's all that matters. I hope you found this interesting and would love to know your thoughts on this in the comments and if something like this ever happened to you, Do share in comments.

That's definitely a sad experience and I know how much you have felt after missing the exam. I never had such an experience but there was an exam day I woke up pretty late and I was really scared.
I am glad you were able to take the exams later even though you have to rewrite the three subjects.
man waking up late and going late is something I've experienced...it used to be scary experience.
Like back then just a day before exam one of fear in mind used to be: what if I didn't wake up tomorrow - am going to fail.. that was a nightmare
But missing out completely was never on my card... Yet it happened unfortunately but it's past and turned into a good chapter of life.
Thanks tho!
