What's Your Worst Nightmare During and After College/Grad School?

I'm an engineer. I hated English and Humanities classes with a passion.

During college, my worst nightmare was sitting in a classroom, as I rarely went to class, and finding out that the final project is due next week and final exam the following week! I didn't even know what the class was about! (Thanks to Georgia fucking Tech, I still have this type of nightmares today!)

During grad school, I dreamt once that I had to go back to highschool because they said my highschool diploma was invalid and therefore all subsequent degrees void until I properly complete Highschool again. 9th grade as a 23-24 year old was a Nightmare I wanted to wake up from very quickly but my subsconscious took its sweet time torturing the living shit out of me... Evil bastard. Must have been that Georgia Tech influence...

To @ArcherVice"'s point of me being a typical military type, I sometimes dream of being back in the US Navy standing watches or the like but those nightmares are overshadowed by the two stories mentioned above.

Cuss and discuss your worst college/university/grad school/work life nightmares!

Not sure what the US equivalent is but its mostly applied Calculus in high school

Really don't know man, I mean I got 85% in maths in the same level about 4 months ago so maybe not working to my full ability
