Ha, I still have this nightmare periodically. But it really happened to this girl! Of course, she could have avoided the whole thing if she’d gone to class the last month of the semester!
Wow!
Yeah. Go to class.
Coming soon to a Starbucks near you. 
She’s right on one thing though - no reason to refuse notebook paper. But skipping class that much?!
Is my college unique? For me, blue books are handed out with the exam. I never realized that there are colleges where the student needs to buy their own blue books in advance.
I’ve never heard of that either, @skieurope.
I have 2 Bachelors degrees from state schools (one of them being UT), and I was never provided with a blue book.
I don’t get why the video has gone viral. I also think it should be obvious why an instructor would not want a stack full of loose notebook paper from a whole class for a final (and her comment that the professor is “illiterate” with simple notebook paper was absurd). Finally, she was completely clueless about the whole final exam simply because she couldn’t be bothered to go to class or avail herself of the resources which were no doubt provided that informed students of date/time/location of all exams. Actions and inaction come with consequences.
As a college instructor, I weep. There is more and more inability/interest in keeping track of what one needs to do in order to student successfully.
But, in college ( a state flagship), I always had blue books supplied by profs. I wonder what my University does. I have no idea, because i don’t give exams.
I always had to buy my own blue books, but this was around 47 years ago so I’m sure things have changed. 
I am attending a Big State U and must bring my own bluebooks, which can be purchased at any kiosk or at a vending machine!
I got blue books back in the stone age and so did my kids. I can understand the blue book since if they write several pages, all the pages are together. With notebook paper they are not and you know that at least one would forget to put their name on the page, let alone every page. Youngest had one prof who was boring as anything (she brought coffee to class to stay awake). By the end of the semester only a handful would show for class. Attendance is part of your grade, so he asked the students if he should change the percentage that attendance would count for. Of course the handful agreed. So it changed from 10% to 30%, It didn’t hurt anyone who went to class but it did the ones who didn’t both to go.
Ski, ya, they gave me the blue books. When I was too ill to take a final, I got to make it up in the most beautiful private office, with a mahogany table and every wall filled with books. Just lovely.
What?! Bluebooks like actuall pieces of paper? Come on. Even back in the good old 2013 we used Canvas for exams.
This actually happened last year. I watched a follow up YouTube video and she got a licensing agreement for the original video because of its popularity and donated the income to a homeless shelter.
I thought it was hilarious when I saw it last year, and I sent it to my daughter who had just graduated from high school as an example of what not to do in her upcoming freshman year.
The comments on her Twitter page at the time were also very funny. Apparently her account was pretty accurate as there were several people who were eye witnesses to her frantic sprint all over campus (and into the window).
She says she got her sense of humor from her grandmother who told her “If you can’t laugh at yourself, then you’re missing out on a lot of good jokes.”
Read all the comments first, ignored the video because I thought it would be a whiny, annoying teen. Finally watched it and OMG freaking hilarious! Love it - girl has a great sense of humor and is a fantastic storyteller. “Ok I hope a 4 minute walk is a 1 minute sprint”, LOL.
Now like me she’s going to have nightmares for the rest of her life about looking for her final exam room. In my (literal) nightmares I’m lucid eough to decide I can find the room by going to the registrar’s office, but then of course I can’t find the registrar’s office. Yeah, I blew off the last couple months of that class too. Laziness is like the gift that keeps on giving…
Bless her heart
