The last day of exams dawns, and I find myself in my element. Hunched over a computer, fingers dancing across the keyboard as I navigate the intricacies of my last test for the semester. Philosophy has always been my comfort zone, and dissecting the nuances of modern thought and ways of life is a challenge I embrace. With practiced ease, I craft a well-versed essay, briefly reviewing the finished draft, making minor edits, and finally, with a hint of apprehension, clicking the ‘submit’ button.
As I rise from my seat, a sudden surge of doubt courses through me. Did I truly give it my all? I glance around the room, and it’s indisputable that I’m the first to complete the test. My gaze flickers to the clock, revealing a half-hour still remaining before the deadline. The room is abuzz with concentrated minds, heads buried in their screens or scribbling furiously on paper. A surge of uncertainty washes over me.
