Students can get quite creative when it comes to making excuses and asking for extensions on their deadlines. Literature professor Morgan Hunter has heard it all, or at least she thought so until receiving an email from one student who recorded a song to ask for additional time to complete his assignment.
In a viral video shared on TikTok, Hunter showed an email from an unnamed student who explained that they had statistics exam they were unprepared for and would not be able to put enough time to complete the task for her class. They also attached a file titled “EXTENSION.”
The file was actually a song in which student the student was asking for an extension while also using the usual excuses including that their computer crashed and that their dog ate the router so they don’t have the internet.
“I swear college kids these days will do ANYTHING except write their actual essay,” Hunter shared in the video, which has more than 19 million views.
Hunter also shared a follow-up video after many TikTokers rushed to the comments section to ask whether the student got an extension. According to Hunter, the student got the extension, and so did the entire class. Additionally, she explained that the song was actually part of the assignment.
