some other assignments just insulted me. one english teacher has us go home and write 5 "quotation sandwiches" which means just means correctly inserting a quote within a small paragraph. i mean, 4th grade much? i swear sometimes the impression of community college students is that they have no fucking life skills and maybe that's true for some, but kids in 4-year universities aren't paragons of intelligence and social skills either. and y0 maybe this is just me, but let's leave high school in high school. 'hence' made me chuckle th0 *technically you can never recover or "make up" a sunk cost Last edited by yo soy el mejor : 10-27-2020 at 01:19 PM. |

regardless of the path, you said you were taking a course and then that you weren't taking anything so i was all like
discussion posts and replies for online courses are just in lieu of in-class participation. they're dumb, but what makes them dumber is when people don't put in any effort and then you gotta scroll and scroll or wait until another day to find something worth responding to.

I didn't have too many discussion forums when I was in, but there was one *honors* US history since 1945 (which oddly spent most of its time on WW2) about Japenese internment camps and one person was literally like "It may seem harsh but they were just trying to keep people safe and I don't think it was a mistake."
Say what now? |

i am back at school
it's destroying my mental health and self esteem. i fucking hate being judged. i am so fucking sick of it. i get the worst fucking emotional flashbacks whenever i have an exam or submit an assignment -- it reminds me of my first time thru college, when i thought killing myself because i couldn't figure out [some fucking dipshit-ass coding project] would be better than disappointing my parents yeah i know silver spoon who cares i hope i get hit by a car. my legs are amputated. i'm mostly paralyzed. i can move my fingers fractions of an inch. i die of sepsis on christmas eve. it'll be fitting. |

I started my master's this year. Currently trying to mark ~100 essays. I have no idea how to mark efficiently and quickly, because at this rate, students will never get their work back, and I won't have time to do the readings for my own goddamn classes.
Seriously, it takes me, like, half an hour to an hour just to mark one essay. And then after two or three, I get tired and wanna do something else. This isn't sustainable. |

i just finished my MPPA program at the end of august with a 3.8 gpa (fuck off, my old gpa from when i first attempted school in my early 20s was a 1.9 and i raised that shit up to a 3.7 when i finally went back to finish my BA). looking for work is bullcrap, but i'm not totally dejected yet. i'm not throwing resumes all over the place because i did not go back to school to just get ANY job, so i understand it might take time since i am being picky by wanting to avoid overtly corporate (or covertly disingenuous) workplaces + basic unconscious/conscious bias still exists in hiring practices, y0. i've got an interview tomorrow with a community youth arts center run by a pastor in a predominately Mexican and Black neighborhood right outside mine, but it's just an interview.

Attending college is white privilege and inherently fascist, frankly

it is not white privilege for first-generation students who get by on loans and grants and who feel compelled to try harder than the privileged dudes and dudettes whose lives are waiting for them regardless of how or what they do, but it is rampant. not so much at community college, tho, if u can imagine.

I'm unclear if you mean "Somehow none of the privileges you listed apply to me, and I have not been bragging about willingly taking a job that pays $25k less than another opportunity because having an extra $25K each year would be inconsequential to my current lifestyle, and also you clearly have a lot of money (???)" or "See, you get it, and you and I have zero privilege, and rich white folk are oblivious," but either way, again, LOL
Also, the pursuit of knowledge is ableist |

only rich people put money ahead of all else. i don't have to have an extra 25k lying around to take a job that pays significantly less but would still provide a living wage, which i've never had before. and i'll be glad to not have to work two PT jobs while going to school ever again. get y0 rich honkie ass out my face, bruh.
and pardon me for reading books and having a big fat curious brain Last edited by yo soy el mejor : 10-28-2021 at 02:08 PM. |

"Only rich people would take a slightly less desirable job to provide an extra $25k for their family" is certainly a take
So, to be clear, living below the paycheck-to-paycheck level and aspiring to get to that level, and being able to by attending college: not privileged; living at that level and aspiring to get anywhere above it: privileged, indicates I'm rich Being able to read is passing as white |

I’ve gone back to do yet more study and I’m trying to decide if the stress is actually worth it now that I’m working full time and trying to parent two teenagers as well
I might quit. Because I certainly do not seem able of keeping calm Keeping awake is also a challenge |
