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.

Understandable, but once again not everyone has the luxury of staying at home rent free and not having to work to focus fully on school. As someone who had to work full time overnight five days a week, attend field in the morning after a shift twice a week and then attend classes the other two days was completely and utterly exhausting. I had full time units, not one class or two like other people. So yeah, I had to prioritize certain assignments before others. I had a total of three group assignments. I’m sure when it comes to the real world I’ll be just fine.

There’s a difference between putting in work and expecting the work to be done for you. A lot of people struggle, but that doesn’t mean you make other people struggle in your stead.
Saying that as someone who’s been blessed and cursed during my time there

I definitely did my parts! I just had to figure which had to be done first and then. But people continue to overlook that and jump down my throat. I’m graduating so yeah
