#final year problems

End of term...

First year Student: Wow this is so exciting I can’t wait for next year!

Second year Student: Woo! Nearly in my final year! How hard can it be?

Final year Student: My soul has crumbled and I am a shell of my former self. I can’t remember the sun or what the world is like outside of these library walls.

Everyone is like "you're working so hard for this degree, you're so determined over your career, you're going to be a great researcher" And I'm just here like, I really appreciate the support/belief and all but while yes that is the long term goal, I got years still before I get there and I am mad hedonistic with a very short attention span. The reason I'm working this hard right now is so I can watch Judas Contract, party and see Sam... But you can't say that in response: "Aren't you working hard to become a better person, achieve your dreams and make a difference in the world! I bet your parents are proud" "Well Helen, that's the long term goal but right now I'm actually just doing this so I can indulge in cartoon superheroes, drink margaritas in my garden and get it on with a total cutie. Though I'm sure they're still proud thanks".

I'm not even going to pretend that it's easy for me to go back into my high school today

Day 1 of starting over

My best friend and I decided that we had enough of us gg through way too many slumps within these past 3 months,,,,,,, our physical and mental health is literally shit,,,,,, so here we are starting over. I think at the end of each day, I'll just say what I've done well and what I haven't.

to this day, i still laugh about my elderly history teacher who, in 2008, was totally into ~modern technology and ~e-learning and wanted us to prepare for a group work by using material online and told us to “just google ‘history lesson plan grade 8 thiry years war’ and click on the second link, it’ll be right there” and naturally, because of individual algorithms, no one could find what she wanted us to find and she was pissed as fuck and i don’t know if she was pissed out because of google’s unreliability, her student’s incompetence or her own

Sitting in the library contemplating saying “F*ck it” and giving up, then feeling guilty and doing another 4 hours of work so you don’t fail
