My big moment was failing a final exam I didn't even know was scheduled
I was in my dorm in Austin, completely spaced on the exam date because the professor only announced it in class, which I'd stopped attending. I found out when I checked my grade online and saw a zero. That was the push I needed to finally drop out and start looking for a real job. Anyone else have a single stupid moment that made the decision for them?

Wait, the professor only announced the exam date in class? That feels so unfair! What if you were sick that day? I had a teacher in high school who would do stuff like that, change the due date and only tell the people who showed up. It's a terrible way to run a class.

Only in class? That's a new low.

Ugh that reminds me of my chem professor freshman year. He'd give pop quizzes on random pages from the textbook he never assigned. Like you were just supposed to read the whole thing cover to cover every night. I spent more time guessing what he might ask than actually learning the material.
