In this informal, comedic monologue, the speaker riffes on the experience of exams, starting with a tongue‑in‑cheek classification of teachers into two types: those who hand out a review sheet (the “nice” ones) and those who seem to want students to suffer. He jokes that a review sheet is a teacher’s way of saying “my job may suck, but your life doesn’t have to,” and then dramatizes how that single sheet can dictate the misery of the next week. The speaker then moves to the common procrastination pattern many students follow, repeatedly telling themselves they’ll study “right now” while postponing until the night before. He describes the night‑before scramble, the all‑nighter, and the habit of venting on social media instead of actually studying, noting how the generation tends to post dramatic images and captions about finals rather than hit the books. He claims that the vast majority (90‑99%) of exam material is useless in real life, expressing frustration with the perceived irrelevance of school curricula. Mid‑monologue the audio cuts out due to a mic failure, which he acknowledges, and he later jokes about his laptop’s mysterious status. Throughout, the tone remains casual, self‑deprecating, and satirical, culminating in a meta‑call to like the video for “bonus points” and a final, humorous sign‑off.
Chapters
But if we're being honest, there are only two types of teachers when it comes to exams: those who give you a review sheet and then those who want you to suffer. You see, when that teacher hands you a review sheet, they're saying, "My job may suck, but your life doesn't have to." We all have big days in our lives, like when we get married, when we go to college, and that first day of exam review. You see, on that first day of exam review, that teacher single-handedly gets to decide how miserable the next 7 days of your life are. Um, teacher, do I need to know the entire periodic table of elements for the exam? Now your teacher's going to respond to that in one of two ways. Either they're going to say, I don't know, which we all know they know, they're just trying to screw with you, or they're going to give you a yes or no answer because they're reasonable and don't want you to study for something that's not on the exam because that's a waste of your time. It's not like you have 5 freaking exams all back to back to back to back and you like have very little time. You don't need to study something That's a— But anyways, you get all the stuff you need for the exam, and now it's time to study. And this part sucks because you're probably like me and super undisciplined and have very poor studying habits. You see, this is how studying for an exam goes: Oh, I got next week. Know what? I should be studying right now. Nah, I got 5 days. Know what? I should be studying right now. Nah, I got 3 days. Know what? I should be studying right now. Nah, I got the weekend. Know what? I should be studying right now. Nah, I got tomorrow. Know what? I should be studying right now. Nah, I got tonight. And then it's the night before the exam and you're on Twitter complaining about how horrible your teachers are, but it's really not your teachers' fault. You just have really poor studying habits and you end up pulling an all-nighter because you didn't study the week before. Like, let's be real, you had the material a week before the exam. You just decided to wait till the night before to study. So apparently while I was recording, my mic died and, uh, you know, my stupid phone didn't want to tell me my mic died. So I literally, like, recorded this whole video. There's like another minute after this. I was on my computer editing, and then I noticed that my audio cut off halfway through. Anyways, it's the night before the exam, and here's the problem with our generation. You see, instead of actually studying, we go on social media and we complain about how much we hate studying, even though we don't study. We just complain about it on social media. It's gonna be a picture of some person harming themselves, and then the caption's gonna be, "This is what finals does to me." retweet if you agree. And then it's 2 AM the night before the exam and you procrastinated all the way to the last day. And that last day, instead of studying, you spent all your time on social media complaining about how you didn't want to study when you should have been studying. And then you're going to fail the exam. And actually, you're not. It's exams, okay? Let's be real. The stuff you learn on your exams or you're getting examined over, like 90% of it, like, is not useful and you'll never use in your life. Like 99% of it, I don't— it doesn't doesn't really matter. I don't know, my script is over. The script ran out. I don't know what I'm saying anymore. Lots of you guys have been asking what happened to my laptop. Well, this is what happened. Anyways, that's the video. Like the video if you want an extra 10 bonus points on your exam. I know that sounds a little sketchy, but it's science. You can't really argue with science. And yeah, I think that's the video. I I hate exams. I hate school for that matter. I feel like a lot of the stuff I learn is useless, and I feel like I have better things I could be doing, like YouTube. I just dropped my— I don't know, just, yeah. What, what? This— do you, do you think this laptop works? I think you guys would be surprised. It actually does work. All right, I don't know. Bye. Why are you still here? Holy crap, leave. Get a life.
