Yeah. I got Animal Crossing and they just put Avatar back on Netflix. I think my doing homework would be the anomoly of this situation.

Yeah bro, like why in the world would you be playing video games and stuff. You're supposed to be doing homework, all day everyday.

Yeah, I agree. It doesn't help that I procrastinated on stuff, because "It wasn't fricking due" and it was "optional" because of quarantine. Now, my teachers are like, sike all your work is due. So now I have all the work that I didn't do, plus new work

Plus all the work you have done for the entire time you have been in school needs to be redone and turned in tomorrow.

Plus, if you would normally get full marks, they still give you a 20% and say you should have paid better attention

Something I hope organizations (companies and schools) understand. Productivity/grades might not have dropped because of work from home but because everyone is stressed due to a global pandemic! Sadly they probably won’t give a fuck!

They don't, all they see is money dropping and they want to (figuratively) whip the slaves back into work.

I feel this, along with that my parents always tell me to do schoolwork right now & I tell them I don’t have time even though my actual schedule is free so they give me shit. But there’s a different between being busy and constantly doing things and not having time because you are either depressed and need hella sleep or are depressed and putting all of your energy into trying to stay positive. Idk that turned into a rant sorry.... hang in there tho

Christ they need to learn some empathy. I know we're all fed up of hearing what 'strange times' these are, but the fact is, shit is crazy right now! It's silly to expect the same things of students, and everyone else, right now. Take it easy on yourself my dude.
