You know what's not nice?

The education system.

#fuck the education system #I'm here forcing myself to stay awake at 3 in the morning just so that i can finish flashcards for a topic i have an exam on #my adhd ass tried to get it done earlier at a more reasonable time #unfortunately it didnt work but i HAVE to get it done #because if I dont i get bad grades and that fucks me over like pretty much lifelong #and you know what makes it worse #the examiners dont even appreciate that i actually UNDERSTAND the topic just because i dont use the STUPIDLY SPECIFIC phrasing they require #i know its been pointed out by multiple people many times now #but it really is just about memorising shit and not actually learning it #teachers also dont appreciate the effort put in #i know because i have a friend who puts so much effort into like further learning and making all her work really detailed #and the most acknowledgement shes ever received is like maybe a verbal “well done” in the same breath as a reminder that theres homework du #“the student experience” is known for the frequent all nighters and borderline caffeine addictions #and nobody is concerned about this!? #all this shit about implementing mental health campaigns and support and whatever and still so many students are fucking struggling #if not mentally then physically #do you know how much strain this type of lifestyle puts on people's bodies!? #i think i get maybe 5 hours of sleep on average and my bodys gotten used to that now. what kind of effect will that have on me in 5 years?? #heart problems? digestion issues? cognitive disfunction? weakened immune system? All of those are possible effects of prolonged exhaustion! #i know im tired and im ranting #but i am genuinely pissed at how horribly wrong the education system is and how normalised all the things that stem from it have become #alright rant over. #thank you for listening
