All of my essays end up being 2-3 pages longer than they are supposed to be. I just tell my teachers to enjoy correcting it all, they usually stop after the 2ed page.
I had a writing assignment in 10th grade where we had to come up with our own work of fiction, and so I started writing it, brought it back to my teacher, and he was like "This needs to be in MLA." and so he did that, and the story ended up being just under 50 pages long, it was so thick, we couldn't staple it, so I ended up bringing in a 3 ring binder the next day and hole punching it all and turning it in like that. it was hilarious when he turned around to the in box and screamed "OH MY GOD! IT'S BOUND!" now that I think about it, that assignment never got graded, he blamed it on me all the time, and then he stole my binder.
tl;dr I wrote a ton, teacher freaked about it, assignment never got graded.
