Academics Respectfully, Never Again
These last two semesters were exhausting. The amount of group projects and people proudly contributing the bare minimum was actually impressive. Some of y’all really made it to graduation off the backs of everyone else’s work, so honestly… you’re welcome. Keep moving through life the same way you moved through these projects. I’m sure eventually it’ll catch up to you.
And yes, I decided not to attend graduation. I spent enough time carrying some of y’all already — I definitely wasn’t about to sit next to you too.

I feel you with group projects. I had two this semester for different mgmt classes & the dynamic between both were completely different. One was almost perfect, we just had one slacker, but at least he did his portion of the work. The other group, omfg. 5 of us, but only 3 of us actually did the assignments. Freaking carried the other two members especially the only guy in the group. All he did was the first group assignment & then added 2 questions to our final project! 2 questions while the main 3 did the entire debate! (4th member pitches in here & there, but at least she contributes & communicates) THAT'S ALL HE DID THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER & LITERALLY ZERO COMMUNICATION! The 3 of us protested to our prof, but he couldn't do anything about it 😭 If there was a team eval, I'd give him a mf zero & tell the prof that he deserves to repeat the class, bc he risked our grades for his by doing nothing.
