Comedic Mistake: Student Submits Paper with Unedited Intro and It's Priceless

In the age of social media, it's not uncommon for students to share their academic mishaps online. One such post by Twitter user "soph!" (@luckyonesoph) has caught widespread attention for its sheer hilarity and relatability. The tweet reads: "I ACCIDENTALLY SUBMITTED A PAPER WORTH 35% OF MY GRADE W THIS INTRO BC I WAS TIRED AND FORGOT TO DELETE IM GONNA CRY FCK."

Accompanying the tweet is a screenshot of the introduction to Sophia Witterick-Laskin's academic paper on George Orwell's "1984." The formal layout, complete with the student's name, teacher’s name, course, date, and title of the paper, all in Times New Roman font, sets the stage for what is arguably one of the most memorable academic blunders.

The introduction reads:

"Sophia Witterick-Laskin

Ms. Jennifer Moore

AP Literature and Composition

3 August 2017

Orwell's 1984: Big Brother is Manipulating You

Buckle your seat-belts, motherf***er, because in eight short pages, I'm going to teach you something that I only learned two hours ago. So sit down, shut up and enjoy the experience of my 4 am caffeine induced self hatred fueled writing extravaganza."

Sophia's unedited, informal, and expletive-laden intro, intended as a placeholder while she worked on her paper, accidentally made it into the final submission. The tweet has garnered numerous reactions from both students and professionals who can relate to the pressures and pitfalls of academic life.

Comments on the tweet range from supportive to amused:

"Honestly I wouldn't even take points off for it, especially if the rest was good. But I would write a note along the lines of 'Forget something before turning this in?'"

"I mean.... It does grab one's attention."

"I see no issue. Full marks."

"Lol, well you hooked me, I'd give it a read."

"The opening line of any novel needs to grab you by the throat and never let go."

One user shared a similar experience: "An attorney in an office I worked in years ago put a snarky joke about a party in a case in a document draft to vent, saved a copy, but then finished the document and proofread it the next day. Somehow she submitted the snarky copy to the judge, not the proofread one (she was older and not particularly computer literate). The judge was not amused. She only narrowly avoided being fired."

Another user added, "I just had a job interview for a coding role. I had submitted my TEXT VERSION of my resume that I use for max compatibility with online intake systems. That's what the dude had in front of him. He said he's never gotten a text-only resume and he loved it because it's such a programmer move. I rolled with it and said that it even has line numbers!"

Despite the embarrassing mistake, Sophia's paper introduction has led to a lot of chuckles and discussions about academic stress and the importance of proofreading. As one commenter aptly put it: "Making me chuckle while grading papers is usually good for at least half of a letter grade."

Only time will tell how Ms. Jennifer Moore responded to this unique introduction, but for now, Sophia Witterick-Laskin's tweet serves as a humorous reminder to double-check submissions before hitting send.
