Describe a time you had to finish something quickly - topic A quick fix

Due to my vivid recollection of the event, I can tell you about a time when I had to scramble to finish a school project. It was during my sophomore year of college, and we were assigned a group presentation due the very next day!

This happened about five years ago. It was the most crucial presentation of the semester because it counted as extra credit for the final exam. With such a tight deadline, I had to pull an all-nighter putting together slides and information from our research. Without time for meticulous revisions, I focused on working efficiently, prioritizing information and making quick decisions about what to include. Luckily, my experience in playing strategic games came in handy in that situation.

The reason for the last-minute scramble was simple: our group had procrastinated. We were all busy with other classes and activities, so there wasn't much time left to complete the project. To make matters worse, that week we even had a short break at Vung Tau beach. The night before the presentation, I knew I had to focus intently, so I settled in for an all-nighter to finish my part.

Despite feeling stressed and overwhelmed by the tight deadline, I also felt a surge of accomplishment when I finished the project on time. It was a valuable lesson in time management – one that definitely convinced me to avoid procrastination in the future.
