You are a 19 year old college student attending a prestigious university. Your family is proud of all your accomplishments -- you have almost made it to the top of academia! After breezing through high school, you sailed into college with your head held high and your confidence impenetrable. You thought that nothing could be easier than striding through a collegiate path lined with scholarships, achievement, and discovery. However, within the first semester you realized this plan was in [[jeopardy]]. (set: $assignmentsCompleted to 0) (set: $grade to 0) (set: $knowsSecret to false) (set: $physicsGrade to 0) (set: $englishGrade to 0) (set: $mathGrade to 0) (set: $chemGrade to 0) (set: $donePhysics to false) (set: $doneEnglish to false) (set: $doneMath to false) (set: $doneChem to false)

Classes are more difficult than you thought, grading schemes are unforgiving, and out of class work takes [[hours|homework]]. Your GPA based scholarship is on the line as each consecutive semester slowly pulls your average down. How will you ever pay for school if you lose it? Your family's pride dwindles proportionally to your interest in your [[major]]. How will you show your face at Thanksgiving ever again? You start to push school lower on your [[priority list]]. This is fun and it lifts your spirits, but you've messed up this week. Too much fun during last week has caused you to fall behind on all your assignments! It's currently Monday, and you have a rocket project in Physics due on Tuesday, an English assignment spread throughout the week, a Chemistry lab report due on Friday, and a Math test on Wednesday. [[Get to work|11:59]].

You have 3 assignments and a test every week. Your syllabi say each assignment should only take around an hour to and hour and a half, but with all the distractions of life and //unforeseen circumstances//, each week is different... [[return|jeopardy]]

Your favorite topics are science related -- learning is much more fun when it isn't for a grade. You like to explore your interests in science outside of school for your own personal amusement, but something about the requirements school brings diminishes your interest when working on actual schoolwork. Remember that time you thought you could study that subject your entire life and never tire of it? Those were the days... [[return|jeopardy]]

Watching YouTube has become your new favorite passtime with scrolling through Reddit a close second. Twitter suffices when you're not on your top social media choices, and you'd rather scroll through Instagram than do nothing at all.

You watch a video about the new game but eventually tire of it and desire to do something else. [[return|phone]].

This video is incredible, and you leave a like because you find chemistry fascinating. This video was quite long, though, so you decide to switch platforms. You begin to realize you're in the mood to look at other cool science-related things, and before you leave notice your recommended section has a lot about SpaceX. [[return|phone2]].

Wow! These pets are really cute. You've seen a lot though so maybe it's time to do something else. [[return|phone]].

You find electrical engineering really interesting! But you weren't really in a sciency mood before browsing, so you leave uninspired. [[return|phone]].

You don't really care about celebrity drama. [[return|phone]].

Science is your favorite topic to view in media. There are some really cool science Twitter accounts, and you learn a few things while scrolling. One of the accounts has a recap of silica based aerogels -- you really like this. Neat! [[return|phone]].

TikTok's are funny for a little while. Maybe. [[return|phone]].

Before leaving Twitter you see a trending hashtag that says #AITakeOver and become interested in how AI works. [[return|phone4]].

You scroll through this subreddit for a time, all the while expanding your interest into SpaceX and their rocket launches. After sufficiently satisfying your curiosity, you get ready to leave the app and go to the home page. There you notice a subreddit about biology and it peaks your interest.

Your friend has ''many'' stories explaining the use and application of artificial intelligence. It's really captivating and you feel fulfilled now that you know more about AI. This friend is someone you haven't talked to in a while, so you go on their profile to check up on them. You see they have a link in their bio to a research paper about //physics//. You skim through it. The main thing you remember is that for every megaparsec, the universe is expanding an additional 70km/sec. That's interesting, maybe it'll help you in physics some day. You decide that's enough phone scrolling for one procrastination period, and put down your phone. (set: $knowsSecret to true) [[Get back to work|11:59]].

You spend another hour going through your calculations and make a sleek, aerodynamic rocket, but the experimentation room in the physics building is now closed. Where should you test your amazing rocket? [[The roof of your apartment]], or [[the ground]]?

You rushed to the experimentation room in the physics building right before it closed, and there was time for one more experiment. But alas, there was a group in front of you waiting for their turn. It was all the racist jerks in your physics recitation that never bothered to learn the physics and always copied off your group’s paper. Do you want to [[sneak past them and conduct your experiment before they do]] or [[let them do their experiment and go home]]. They were there first, after all.

Your rocket is so great that when you tested it from the roof of your building, it thrusted itself as high as the birds. Unfortunately, it actually hits a bird and explodes at its peak. Since you turned in half the data required (and an explanation of what happened), your professor decides to give you a C. [[return|11:59]]. (set: $donePhysics to true) (set: $physicsGrade to 2) (set: $assignmentsCompleted to $assignmentsCompleted + 1)

You aim the rocket towards your dorm building and press LAUNCH. Since your calculations were so efficient, the rocket actually goes over the building and lands softly with its parachute on I-75 right before it’s crushed by a speeding truck. Although your data was perfect, you had no rocket to present, so your professor gave you a B. [[return|11:59]]. (set: $donePhysics to true) (set: $physicsGrade to 3) (set: $assignmentsCompleted to $assignmentsCompleted + 1)

You decide to sneak past and launch your rocket. Sadly, your calculations were so rushed that you forgot about the center of mass, and your rocket banks hard left and destroys a window before going outside. You also never hit “Record” for the data. So, with no data, rocket, or window, your professor gives you a D (as long as you pay for the window). [[return|11:59]]. (set: $donePhysics to true) (set: $physicsGrade to 1) (set: $assignmentsCompleted to $assignmentsCompleted + 1)

It turns out, the “Turd Riche” (as you call them) had an even worse rocket than your rushed one. Their experiment consisted of a rocket that spiraled around the room and destroyed the data of everyone who had gone before them. In desperation, the professor decided to give everyone (except them) an A! So even you got an A! [[return|11:59]].

Next, you have to respond to two of your classmates’ posts, but that part of it is due on Friday. Should you [[work on it now]] to get it over with or [[work on it later]]?] }

You open your computer and pull up the prompt and stare at it for a [[minute]].

It's now Wednesday, and you realize that you have to turn in your discussion post for English before 11:59 pm tonight and so you [[get to work|gtw2]].

Your next conscious thought occurs an hour later when you still really have no idea how to begin to write the paper, but you decide to just [[start writing]] and decide that you’ll edit it afterward in the hopes that it makes sense.

Your post now looks fairly good, it hits all of the points you were supposed to (even though you may not really understand them) and you’re satisfied with it. It’s now quite late, but now you have to choose whether you work on the [[other posts]] as you don’t think that they’ll take too much time, or [[post this one and go to bed]].

You now have to pick which of your classmates you will respond to, do you read over them and [[choose ones that interest you]], or [[pick at random]]?

You copy and paste what you’ve written onto the class website and decide that you’ll work on the other posts [[on Friday|friday1normal]].

It’s now really late by the time you’ve read over them and by the time you’ve copied and pasted the classmates’ responses into Microsoft Word to begin editing, [[you’re already quite tired]].

You quickly pick the posts you’re going to respond to, and [[get to work]].

Finally, you’ve finished writing, and can submit them. You paste onto the website to submit the discussion post, and then copy and paste your responses into the correct places. Relieved, you [[go to bed|wednesday2]].

Finally, you’ve finished writing, and you can submit them. You copy and paste onto the website to submit the discussion post and responses into the correct places. Relieved, you [[go to bed|englishA]].

On Saturday, you get a notification that your English assignment is graded, and you’re ecstatic to see that you’ve gotten a perfect score on it. This “A” is exactly what you’re looking for. The teacher even left a note on it stating how well written it was. [[return|11:59]]. (set: $doneEnglish to true) (set: $englishGrade to 4) (set: $assignmentsCompleted to $assignmentsCompleted + 1)

It’s going fairly well when you realize that you only have 20 minutes left to turn in the assignment. You grab your coffee as you practice speed writing in order [[answer the rest of the prompt]].

By the grace of whichever deity you’d prefer, you manage to get it submitted in time, and it was actually one of the better submissions for this class. Surprised and relieved, you’re finished working on English for tonight, and decide to work on the responses [[on Friday|fridayRushed]].

Anxious to avoid scrambling to finish for a second time, you’ve given yourself a bit more time than what you think would be necessary to work on the English responses. You now have to pick which of your classmates you will respond to, do you read over them and [[choose ones that interest you|choose3]], or [[pick at random|pick3]]?

Having finished all of your other work for the day, you look at English and remember that you have two responses due at 11:59 tonight. You regret not having done them before, and [[start working on them]].

It’s been a busy day, do you choose to [[play on your computer for a bit]] or [[get some much-needed rest|Dending]].

You get a notification from your email about people responding to your English Discussion post, do you [[keep playing]], or read over them to [[see what your peers think]]?

You finish playing after a while and [[go to bed|Dending]].

You’re reading over the responses when you notice that they don’t seem to make sense with what you discussed. You read them closer, and then…You feel [[STUPID]]…

On Friday, you get an email from the Department of Academic honesty that details a warning about plagiarism regarding a particular instance that occurred in an English class. You go to look at the assignment that you submitted on Monday, and immediately some (choice words) pop into your mind. Great… now you have to go to a hearing and you’ve gotten a perfect 0% for the assignment. [[return|11:59]]. (set: $doneEnglish to true) (set: $englishGrade to 1) (set: $assignmentsCompleted to $assignmentsCompleted + 1)

You’ve noticed that instead of pasting your own work, your post contains the work of the person you had responded to for Friday’s part of the assignment onto the class site. You scramble to fix the issue on the website and upload your own post, but you feel like you should [[email your professor]] regardless.

You’re stressed to no end as you carefully word the email to your professor and get it sent at [[2 a.m.]]

There’s nothing to do now but try and sleep despite the stress that the incident just caused. Not surprisingly, you don’t [[sleep|Cending]] very restfully.

On Saturday, you get a notification that your English assignment is graded, and you’re relieved to see that you’re teacher only graded it as if it were late (You were really worried that you would get written up for plagiarism).

It’s now really late by the time you’ve read over them and when you’ve finally chosen the posts that you’re going to respond to, [[you’re already quite tired|tired2]].

Since you’re quickly running out of time, you decide that once you finish writing, you need to submit the responses before you have the chance to read over them. You finally submit them just before the deadline, and, relieved that you’re finished, you [[go to bed|Bending]].

On Saturday, you get a notification that your English assignment is graded, and you’re rather proud of your grade, especially given that half of it was rushed. Perhaps you’ll try doing it further out from the deadline next time you work on English. Who knows? Maybe next time you’ll get higher than a “B”. [[return|11:59]].

Finally, you’ve finished writing, and you can submit them. It was a bit more difficult than you expected, so you were a bit rushed, but you finished it anyway. Tired, you submit your responses to the correct places on the class website, and gratefully [[go to bed|Bending]].

Wary of running out of time, once you’ve finished writing, you quickly glance back over them to make sure that you didn’t leave out anything important (you don’t typically make grammatical or spelling errors anyway) and then submit it. Relieved, to be finished,you [[go to bed|Bending]].

It was surprisingly a lot more difficult than you anticipated, but you’re glad to be finished. Finally, you upload them to the class website. Hoping that you did well enough on the responses, but relieved to be finished with them, you [[go to bed|Bending]].

You are surprised by yourself that you actually have the willpower to not succumb to temptations, a trait lacking in so many of your fellow classmates, so you feel a gushing feeling of pride and self-confidence. You are so intent on studying that you didn’t hear your roommate calling you. Your roommate is very delighted by your self-discipline and decides to reward you with your favorite dish for dinner - a quadruple cheeseburger. Your roommate is done cooking, and you can smell the intoxicating scent all the way from the kitchen. Do you take a break and [[eat it]] while watch your favorite show - //Star Trek: Picard// Or do you thank your roommate but [[keep studying]] because Math is so enthralling that the scent is no longer as fascinating as the mathematical equations.

You took the nap, but it turned out to be a long sleep that lasted until Tuesday morning. After you wake up, you feel like a new being again, filled with stamina and incessant energy. You remembered how procrastination had caused you to work on a project all night last week, so you decided to take a proactive approach and start studying for the test early (in a matter of perspective). After a couple hours of studying , you feel you have mastered the materials pretty well, and you know the new episode of Star Trek: Picard is on. It is your favorite TV show, and you think it wouldn't hurt to take a quick break. Do you [[take a break]] and indulge yourself with some fantastic acting of Patrick Stewart? Or do you [[force yourself in stoicism]] by stripping yourself the minimal pleasure of watching your favorite show, which is only forty-five minutes?

You eat it like a wolf devouring a puny prey, you notice that the meat has a weird taste, but you didn’t give it a second thought since you are so concentrated on the show. Actually, you found Star Trek: Picard so interesting that you wanted to watch more of Patrick Stewart. As a result, you decided to watch Star Trek: The Next Generations the whole day next day, and you got no work done. Times fly fast when you’re having fun; it’s [[test day]].

As soon as you start taking the test, you notice that you have a massive stomach ache, then you remember the quadruple cheeseburger - goluptious yet lethal, and plus you only studied a little on Monday, you BOMBED the test in agonizing pain and received a D; you cannot blame your roommate’s burger or Patrick Stewart’s Picard because you love them so much, so you just admit you are just another “unlucky” student. [[return|11:59]]. (set: $doneMath to true) (set: $mathGrade to 1) (set: $assignmentsCompleted to $assignmentsCompleted + 1)

You studied so hard that you can recount the equations forward and backward in that chapter. It’s late now, and you didn’t get enough sleep last week either - being a typical college student, you fall asleep quickly. It was a tranquil and soothing sleep, and it compensated for all the late nights in the previous week, especially the GT1000 project you had to stay up all night for. The next conscious thing you remember is waking up to find out it’s 9:00am wednesday morning - you had slept more than 24 hours! You rush to class and [[take the test]].

You realize that you had studied the wrong chapter… however, there were some overlaps so you were able to receive a C; however dismayed, you acknowledge that it’s your own carelessness, and a valuable lesson is learned. [[return|11:59]]. (set: $doneMath to true) (set: $mathGrade to 2) (set: $assignmentsCompleted to $assignmentsCompleted + 1)

You watch the show and are touched by Picard’s sense of duty and his unwavering self-determination. You decide that you must be more self-disciplined. Therefore, you turn off the program and start studying again - this time with more concentration than ever because you know that in order to become a legend like Picard, acing a [[Math test|test3]] is just the most rudimentary step.

Being a responsible and aspiring student, you know that a more satisfying and permanent happiness awaits you if you reject these temptations, so you study all day Tuesday in hope of shooting for an A in the Math test. So you study all day until your head starts spinning. It’s [[test day|test4]]!

And non-surprisingly, with all your diligence and hard work, you are one of the few who did receive an A on the test. You got a personal email from the instructor giving you a pat on the back, you secretly thanked Picard. [[return|11:59]]. (set: $doneMath to true) (set: $mathGrade to 4) (set: $assignmentsCompleted to $assignmentsCompleted + 1)

You quickly answered most questions, but there were just some concepts that you couldn’t remember, despite you studying them over and over again the previous day. You become anxious, nervous, and frustrated with yourself that the more you try to remember the material, the harder it is for you. You have a minor nervous breakdown, but luckily you were able to recall some concepts. In the end you got a B; you shrugged and admitted college won’t be easy, and life won’t always be propitious even though you are prepared. [[return|11:59]]. (set: $doneMath to true) (set: $mathGrade to 3) (set: $assignmentsCompleted to $assignmentsCompleted + 1)

The sweet sounds of smooth jazz begin to fill the room, and you feel your brain beginning to intensely focus on the task at hand. You're in a good mood and [[start to work]]. (set: $jazz to true)

At an impossibly loud volume, the harsh sounds of heavy metal begin to dominate the room. While it sounds awesome, it's not the best studying music. You feel constantly distracted and unprepared to put forth your best effort on your assignment. Unfortunately the volume nob is broken and you must now live with your decision. Warily, you [[start to work]]. (set: $metal to true)

The first task for your lab report is to produce a list of the equipment used in the lab. You don't remember some of the item names. Do you [[look them up]] or [[give them new names]]?

The next item on the assignment is to chronologically list the procedures. You don't think you remember all of them considering the lab was last week. Maybe a classmate has the answers? Do you [[ask a classmate for the answers]] or [[look up a similar procedure in the textbook]] to jog your memory?

You send a text to a lab partner asking what the exact methods were in last week's lab. They are an extremely busy student and do not feel like typing in a text message all of the steps, so they crop a screenshot of their completed lab report and send that to you. You don't notice that it is a screenshot of their actual lab report and unknowingly procede to the [[next section|next2]]. (set: $plag to true)

The penultimate part of the assignment is to state your conclusions. You don't quite know what to put here. You've been slacking on your chemistry studies for quite a while now and don't quite remember everything about the topic. Do you [[check your textbook again]] or [[look it up online]]?

You search the vast repository that is the Internet and eventually find what you are looking for on an obscure chemistry blog. You're not entirely sure if what they're saying is true, but you decide to trust it and use their knowledge in your conclusion and analysis of your data. Unfortunately you fail to realize a large and bolded ''NOT'' and write a false statement in your assignment. Tired of working on chemistry, you move to the [[last section|last2]].

Memory sufficiently refreshed, you easily are able to recall the exact methods used in your experiment. Happy with this outcome, you move onto the [[next section]]. (set: $plag to false)

You find the correct topic on page 394! Armed with this new knowledge, you write a beautiful conclusion and analysis of your data. It is truly stellar. You think there is no way you won't get an A. Confidently, you move onto the [[last section]].

The final task to complete is answering some post-lab questions. {(if: $knowsSecret is true)[These post-lab questions are on the exact topic you read about on your friend's Instagram link!

It's Monday, and in English today you were given a three-part assignment that you can finish and submit in two different sections. The section due Wednesday requires you to answer some questions about the weird book you’ve been reading for class and post it on the class website. For the second section, you have to respond to two of your classmates’ posts, but you have until Friday before that is due. Should you [[work on it now]] to get it over with or [[work on it later]]?

It is a lazy Monday afternoon. You are chilling on the back porch, listening to the harmonious sound of nature. Cool breeze fondles your skin, and the sun shines on your face gently. You know you have a Math test on the coming Wednesday, but you don’t really feel like studying right now since you have a whole day tomorrow. You know a nap right now would give you just the right refreshment you needed to kick the week off. Do you go against your heart and [[go study for the test]]? Or do you just [[lay back]] and let sleep take you to the wonderland?

Confused about when to do the assignments or if the order matters? Each assignment explores your interactions with the various assignments throughout the week; this means the branches happen simultaneously -- not chronologically. The assignments have their own timelines based on their due date(s) throughout the week, but the passage of time that occurs when completing one assignment does not correspond to the passage of time for others.
