Semi-Charmed Life

It's hard to take yourself seriously if you realize that everything you have ever managed to achieve in your short life has been purely on the basis of luck, with not a whisper of hard work or actual effort to be seen. A prime example: today was my midterm and I had procrastinated beginning studying at all till this morning when my paper was at two in the afternoon. I played Age of Empires and Monopoly late into the night, then went to bed and woke up at eleven, which was when I began to go through the slides for the first time. Once done with this, I had a leisurely bath and hauled myself off to the university to give my midterm, realizing full well that I had not studies at all and flunking said midterm would be all on my own head. Once there, I passed by the notice board which had the most beautiful combination of words since Sidrah's last bit of poetry: "The ALP midterm has been rescheduled on Tuesday the 21st of July".

What happens when the luck finally runs out? I wouldn't want to know.
