neil on his way to fight with the creators of chatGPT for one word (guess which one)

#ik i haven't been active at all but this whole year was basically exam after exam after exam im not dead yet tho! (surviving by a thread<3) #anyway thought i'd give chatgpt a go (so late goddamn) and ofc the first test subject was our beloved icon #i immediately got this image of neil reading this then getting up midway through and wordlessly packing a gun to go kill the creator lmfao #aftg #all for the game #aftg shitpost #tfc #the foxes #neil josten #andrew minyard #exy #psu foxes #blue's bs

I’m soooo fucked lmao

#why did i wait until the last goddamn minute to study fffffuckkk #i mean i didn’t intentionally. i had other exams. but still i could’ve known that this would take a lot of time #anybody around here able to explain the saros cycle to me as if i were five years old? #you say mondknoten and i say huh? #astronomische grundlagen 1-3 are out to fucking get me #the triple saros of my academic career #because everytime i sit there in the same position with the same expression of htter confusion on my face #is this a good analogy? idk cause i don’t really understand the saros cycle lmao #linda loquitur

Why are glasses so expennnnsssssiiiiiiivvvvvvveeeeeee

#using up the very expensive insurance I pay before the year turns over #walked out of the optometrist’s office $268 poorer for one (1) pair of glasses in my new prescription #that was after my insurance paid off the balance of the EIGHT HUNDRED AND NINETY THREE DOLLARS they came out to #frames were $200 #the remaining $600 was my GODDAMNED LENSES #with the change paying for the actual exam #*wailing* #also my eyes got worse again which sucks

[arsonist-chicken]

Okay my fellow ADHDers or whatever else is up with your brains that makes it hard for you to study and study on time and study in a way that you actually remember stuff:

How do you get yourself to actually sit down and study? For me, the "oh shit deadline/exam soon, we can focus for a bit in emergency mode" hasn't worked in a long time now, which leads me now to an exam last week or so I put off to February and another one I would have tomorrow that I'm almost positive I won't go to because I never was in the lecture (clashed with another mandatory one) and only just now downloaded the stuff the professor provided, and I'm about ready to fall asleep so I know I won't manage it in time anymore anyway. And I have two other things I'd need done by tomorrow and I already know I'll cry during christmas break because of being overwhelmed not only because of staying at my parents' and missing my friends but mostly because I'll be overwhelmed at the prospect of January coming up with all the presentations and exams etc etc to get done, next to preparing for my main translation exams in February and getting started on my thesis.

So. HOW do you sit down and actually make yourself study? I came home at 7:30pm today, it's now 3:40am and I'm queuing this so that someone might see and have some sort of advice, because in that time I have finished one sentence of a translation that I'd been putting off for two weeks - ONE sentence - and revised the translation but like, very half-assed. I did not study for the exam although it was RIGHT THERE in my brain the whole time and I KNEW it was the most important thing and still, my brain just went kinda "eh 🤷🏼‍♀️" and I naturally didn't get my bills or even something I'd enjoy doing done. Just did fuck all for several hours that I swear didn't feel that long.

So, yeah, any advice on how to get yourself to actually START working and then sticking with it would be very much appreciated.

#body doubling only works somedays but often esp in the library i'm also irritated by other people #pomodoro etc doesn't work at all #help #adhd #mine #yeah i'M not doing that exam it's in 12h and I need to sleep now; I'm doing it in february #it's about how to build streets or whatever. not my studies but from the technology faculty as a chosen credit thing. #idk man i'm tired i can't think anymore. i chose it when i still thought i was going on erasmus so I'd be done in december #and not have clashing exams and leaving times #which btw i'm still upsetti spaghetti over. for ONCE i did everything right and put my whole heart in the application and they went na sorr #anyway. good night. #i'm exhausted and idk how i'll manage this semester and then it only gets worse because then there's a goddamn thesis to write #and after that i hope i'll be able to have some summer off at least before i start to work and will only have 5 weeks off a year until i die #or maybe retire if there still is a normal retirement age by then 👍 #yeah i“ #xm #jesus #i'm very excited to start fulltime work a #can you see it?

I have given up entirely on my birthday this year after today.

#text #chey.txt #Mmm less than a week away and I'm already like. Cool. Better than getting my hopes up for another year only to have them dashed I suppose #So we won't be doing anything for it as usual I assume #We are just curled on the couch miserably #With nothing to look forward to but bills and bills and more fucking bills as the cost of living in this shithole country soars #My sisters gets gifts and dinners #I get told it's 'too expensive' #I know it's stupid to whinge it's not that I never get things in general but #My birthdays have been shit since I turned 19 #And I was left writing exams while my family had the trip of a goddamn lifetime to Disney World. #It's been ten years of shit ever since. #And they didn't mean to leave me there they just #Forgot that university exams were in April; I'm the oldest child #But still. #My birthday has been forgotten in other years since #I'm just like. A little. #Upset. #That on top of having to pay for the new dishwasher and to fix my fireplace etc etc #Which is nearly $2000 #I'm being told I have to repay my parents for other things #While they drop 2k on dog collars for my younger sister.

Yeah I could do a degree with math in it (<-on the verge of murderous rage because their math teacher skipped limits and derivatives and study of function and expects them to have done all of those things over the summer by themselves)

#[.txt] #i broke a pen from slamming the tip into my desk and it left a dent. Im normal im sooo normal this is fine :) dont even worry :) :) #i hate this teacher i hate this subject i understand it but at what cost at what hell-brought goddamned cost #we should have a different teacher next year which is not ideal because i have my maturity exam next year #but yeah no sure just make your pupils do the most complex part of the program by themselves. Sure!! Yeah!!!!! It works doesnt it!!!!!!!

[halcionic]

dead week is kicking my ass and I personally think that whoever decided I would need to "do work" at "university" should go rot in hell

#in reality I actually reserve that right to whoever set the fire alarm off at 8:30 in the goddamn morning #it's only the 2nd alarm the dorm has had all year tho #bc it's generally referred to as the stoners dorm LMAO #my poor partner forgot his socks and then proceeded to go take a chemistry exam stockless bc there wasn't time for him to wait to get back #into the building #I didn't remember to grab my wallet and keys but hey I did remember my headphones ! #cherri.txt

Ooooo JatP everyone works in a high school AU, headcanons?

-Luke and Julie as the music teachers. They teach different, so Julie has the tiny nervous freshmen, Luke gets the second and third years, and Julie takes the seniors.

-If you think you're taking music because it's an Easy Class, you are mistaken, and if you're not super into music because of Miss Molina's enthusiasm, Mr Patterson is gonna be so intense you either get with the program or rush to the Principal after two weeks like: can I please switch to like, pottery or something?

-Reggie as the math teacher who tries to make math easy and fun to understand. He may or may not have built a giant adjustable ramp with Willie to have a whole 'My Cousin Throckmorton' math problem day.

-English teacher Willie. He is delighted by students who turn in essays like 'Hamlet was a little bitch and here's why'. As long as your spelling and grammar is fine and your arguments are sound, he is here for it. Runs the GSA with Flynn. Unofficially voted 'most likely to give people a sexuality crisis'.

-History teacher Alex, who everyone may think is boring but if you're actually listening in class he has all these dry, snarky asides. He also teacher the stuff that's not in the books, and does a whole 'this is how you spot propaganda, and this is how you fight it, whoops how did that video of my friend Bobby punching a nazi get in there, lol anyway'.

-Listen, you know that one time after like, his and Willie's anniversary party or something, he came into his morning senior class, set up the screen, turned on the Puppet History playlist, and just thunked his head on the desk like 'I am so hungover oh god why did I let Luke talk me into those shots'.

-Everyone knows Mr Mercer and Mr Willie ('hey you think it's weird we don't even know the English Teacher's last name?') have a crush on each other. Mr Mercer always gets so flustered when Mr Willie talks to him in the hall or flirts with him at assembly.

-It takes a while to realise that no, it's not a crush, those two are MARRIED and Mr Willie is also Mr Mercer but they thought that would be confusing.

-Flynn teaches media studies. She and Willie do Crossover Weeks where they do like, Pride and Prejudice and stuff. She also DJs every single school dance and helps run the yearbook and the GSA and is generally the Cool Teacher you go to when you have a crazy idea for a club or event.

-Guidance counselor Carrie is terrifying. She's also terrifyingly efficient. If you tell her what your goals are for college, she will have all the scholarships you can apply for ready for you within the week and she will stop at nothing until you achieve your dreams, supportive parents of nah.

If you tell her you have a problem at home, she will get you help so fast, no matter who your parents are. She also strikes fear into bullies everywhere, and is not above using her own former-mean-girl tactics to get into their head and help them realise they need to stop being a shit or she will Destroy Them.

-Principal Victoria is super good at dealing with demanding, entitled parents, but if she's particularly annoyed at one, she 100% sends them to Carrie and sits back and enjoys the carnage.

-Victoria has a list of specific pairings of teachers who are no longer allowed to chaperone the dances together due to Chaos or getting lost in each other's eyes and not realising there is INAPPROPRIATE GRINDING GOING ON. (Luke and Reggie, Willie and Alex)

#teacher au #julie and the phantoms #not!fic #I wrote a thing #willex #luke doesn't have the patience for freshman okay #he also doesn't have the patience to teach stuff they need for the final exams #he HATES exam season #alex also has videos of Willie punching a nazi but Victoria says he's not allowed to show it in class #Bobby doesn't teach at the school but he is like their connection for everything #he's who they call when they need help setting up the giant ramp #and a judge on the talent show every year #and Carrie's Inside Man at PTA meetings #does he even have a kid here? shut up helen he makes the best goddamn bananabread in the county we need him for the bake sale

was anyone gonna explain to me how negative exponents work or was i supposed to just read that in a fanfic

#i'm not even kidding #i first heard about the concept of negative exponents in math class seven years ago and i had absolutely no idea what it meant #and it kept coming up and i just still had no idea what to do with it #and now #i'm reading a goddamn my hero academia fanfic #and bakugou is explaining negative exponents to kirishima #and suddenly it makes sense to me #now if only i could find a fanfic where bakugou explain everything that i'll need in the exam tomorrow

I feel so stupid crying over this but i just feel like the biggest idiot in the world

#i spend all my days studying all my goddamn days since OCTOBER #the closest i got to going out was when i'd go get drinks after lectures EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE #i went out with company ONCE. ONE WEEKEND. O N E #and i really AM the idiot bc it's just me #all my other friends have lives and free time #everyone i know is always out always going somewhere hanging out with someone #everyone i know on here is able to work on their hobbies all year round #the way i work like a fucking mule you'd think i'm studying medicine or something #else that guarantees a well-paid job but no. i'm in fucking language studies. #i work like a mule with all my breaks leaving me so exhausted that all i can do is scroll or just rest #and then i DON'T EVEN PASS???????? #AND THEN EVEN MY SUMMER ''BREAK'' WILL BE SPENT STUDYING SOMETHING #I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW BETTER I COULD STUDY #AND EVEN THEN I'LL HAVE LIKE SIX GODDAMN WEEKS #and then what? another year starts and once again study all day have no time for myself #and because i'm stupid i'll do this for God knows how long #five years at minimum. but that's if i pass everything on time #i failed this exam but it's not a prerequisite for 3rd term only 4th term subjects #but lit is a prerequisite. if i fail this exam i'm already setting myself back an entire semester #and for what? i'm literally wasting my time #i'll be dead in 60 years if i don't raise a hand against myself sooner #i spent 20 years doing fucking nothing that i wanted to do #even during breaks it was everything my parents expected of me #God #and now i can't even go to sleep bc i'm too busy being a pussy bitch and crying about this #and i have to be up in 7½ hours yayyyyy

do u ever speak too soon & immediately regret it.

#yes this is about the trade that just happened three minutes ago #clown shoes of prophecy in the tumblr tags #no i am not Doing Well #I THOUGHT I WAS GODDAMN SAFE FROM THE BRUINS #to be deleted but i am literally resisting the urge to screech like a feral animal in the gym right now i am being soooooo normal #WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME PERSONALLY SPECIFICALLY I’M GOING TO CRY INTO A HOLE I CAN’T DO THIS NARRATIVE IT’S ONLY DYLAN LEFT YOU TOOK HIM #i have to pretend to be normal :) i have to take an exam :) and function as a human being :) instead of crouching like a bug on the floor #and then i will come home and open up the notes app i made two (?) years ago that says ‘if tyler bertuzzi ever gets traded it’s-’ #& everyone will be suffering with me. sorry not sorry for the influx of sad bertuzzi posts that are coming like i have Such a relationship #with him as a player &i know he’s the worst but also it really sucks to watch every guy you thought was the core of ur team get traded away #purely narratively speaking in all bemoaning etc etc etc except for the part where we don’t have a gritty net front presence now & #who’s gonna be larks & lucas’ winger & i just cried about tyler in a fight the other day because mickey said ‘i’m sure he wants to protect #those hands but sometimes you can’t you gotta do it for the boys’ & i think mickey said ‘they’ as in the team wants him to not hurt his hand #again but he has to fight & if that isn’t also v much a part of the old gods detroit it was always tyler champion of blood & guts & giving #& regardless of hockey (EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT IT WAS FOR DRAFT PICKS I HATE DRAFT PICKS WHAT ARE U GONNA DO WITH THOSE like at least if #it’s for a guy i could maybe learn to love him but you never remember who you traded to get those draft picks unless it’s narratively r #relevant later but right now it feels like it’s for nothing & i don’t want to learn to love some new guy in five years i miss tyler already) #anyway. ik full well this won’t cause me to actually finish tyler borzoituzzi bc i haven’t even properly started it but i can dream of spite

#fucking hell i'm so terrified of the state exam #i'm 29 and i act like a goddamn child #absolutely fucking shitting bricks and the funny thing is that all it does is make me stall and procrastinate even more #i have little more than a week left and i have so so so much to do and revise #and i needed two days to put together the thesis prez because i started to feel like idek what it's about even though i wrote every word #that's where hungarians say 'világra született csak nem erre' which roughly means i was made for a world but it's not this one #been scratching at the fucking health system with my claws for years and barely anything changed like the fuck #is confidence just something i'm not meant to have #cuz that's just fucking shit #(rn i'm somewhere between peak raging roy kent and jamie tartt overdramatically sobbing his heart out) #personal

breaking news: historically "gifted kid" gets a grade below a b in a class for the first time in her entire life at 19 years old and has a breakdown

#fuck that final exam man #you're telling me that the highest possible grade i could've gotten on that exam was a 57????? are you shitting me?????? #we haven't been given any feedback yet so i definitely feel like i'm being cheated out of some partial credit points #but the deadline for contesting a grade has welllll since passed and the c+ overall grade is in my transcript now so i can't do anything #i'm not as much sad abt my academic ability and more mad about the fact that that happened #bc i was doing well throughout the whole class and was regularly getting a's on them but then i bombed both of the exams #and all fucking ten assignments are only worth FIFTEEN PERCENT OF THE FINAL GRADE FUCK THAT #anyways. time to redeem myself this semester #i have to have the same goddamn professor again for the third time and he's the one i've consistently gotten lower grades in #bc he's SO BORING AND ALL HE FUCKING DOES IS READ THE SLIDES WITHOUT ANY EXTRA VALUABLE INFORMATION AND HE SKIMS OVER THINGS #THAT WE ALL NEED CLARITY ON AND GOES ON TANGENTS ABOUT THE MOST BENIGN CONTENT #i swear to god if i have to have this guy again after this year i will Heavily Consider dropping out bc fuck that noise #anyways. that is my evening #good fucking night
