Everyone has their own superstitions during exam time. Three years in college and I think the superstitions of me and my friends have only become weirder. Here is what we do to ensure we write the exams well.
.) When I start studying, the time has to be a round-ed off number like 7,8,9 etc. Postpone the start till such a number it reached.
.) Same applies for the time I start to write exams. Sadly my sem exams start at 1:45. So I lose 15 min every exam.
.) A friend of my cousin needs to see the stray dog around their department before going to the hall.
.) A friend wears the same jean the next time if he did the previous exam well. Even if it is unwashed.
.) Sowmy needs to take his scientific calculator to all his exams. Even if it is only English.
.) Me and Sowmy have to drink water just before entering the hall.
.) Me and my friends have to go to the examination hall in the same path every day.
.) Added recently, me and Sowmy need to see a certain someone to do the exams well.
.) Added more recently, I shouldn't see a certain someone else to do the exams well.
.) My bag has to be kept near Sowmy's bag. Even if we are in different halls.
.) Finally, I always need to have more than one blue pen. Even if one doesn't write.
Mathematics
I finish my Maths exam early and look at all the calculations I have done so far in my Scientific Calculator (using the up arrow thing). Here are some.
7 * 3 = 21
16 - 4 = 12
12 * 2 = 24
23 - 7 = 16
2000 + 1000 = 3000
2000 / 2 = 1000
...
..
.
Moral : It's high time I started learning simple addition and subtraction. Again.

A Lazy Man's Lament
There once was this man living all quiet,
Yet no one knew his mind was like a riot,
Most people thought he was one lazy dude,
For his busy mind never did they intrude.
He never seemed to get anything done in time,
And his ambitions never seemed too high a climb;
No one noticed he did get all his work done,
For doing things at the last minute was fun.
His slow walk did they ever laugh at mockingly,
But all these things he never did take seriously;
In fact he never was serious when he should be,
For it let his alter ego be open for all to see.
His lack of interest in arguing, people do misread,
Didn't they know lazy ppl never like to argue or bleed;
He will keep safe what is given to him or he ll try,
And if it does get lost, he ll only say f it and move on.
He never understands why his lazyness upsets others,
Nor does he know why they look down at his lazyness;
Don't they know that being lazy is a real talent,
And the other word for being lazy is being efficient?
