Rant about school
I am so fucking tired of teachers not giving a shit about students. I am tired of them treating us like shit and you may say I am dramatic but just this week my math teacher told the class twice that he does not care what we do in class because he is both getting paid and gonna retire anytime he wants to. That it does not matter to him if only 1 kid graduates or the whole class because his pay is the same. Our class average was a 2 (that's a D for you Americals out there) last year, most of us are barely passing.
I am tired of teachers treating their classes as the most important one out there. I AM IN CULINARY SCHOOL I DONT CARE ABOUT HISTORY. Yes its important to know but its not the MOST IMPORTANT out of my classes. Stop giving us 4 pages of homework for a class thats tomorrow. Stop telling us to put more time into your class when you know we have 8 other ones. I had 9 classes today I barely have the energy to exist right now let alone sit down and study for my classes coming up.
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. Teachers tell us to come in while ill because they can handle it so we can too. "Just pop a painkiller". I want to cry. LITERALLY half of my class is sick right now because we can not stay home without being shamed for it or falling behind. Its our what? Second week? And I already had 2 tests. What the fuck.
Back in 5th grade I was told, no, yelled at by my classmaster that the death of my grandmother does not entitle me to fall behind with my classes. Back in 5th grade where I had just been told that my grandfather is also ill and that my father is also ill (stuff i wont detail). Back in a grade I can not remember because it was so fucking stressful and traumatic. I don't even know if it was actually 5th grade! Could have been 6th but hell that does not make it any better does it? I was what? 13 at the VERY most? How do you look a 13 year old in the face and fucking yell at them about that?
Its so frustrating to hear teachers talk about how there is a teacher shortage and its so hard for them to find people to educate us then turn around and spit in our faces that they dont give a shit. This country already has an outdated teaching system that makes getting an education harder than it should be. There are no help for kids with disabilities of ANY kind. I am just tired of having to fight every single day just to be treated a liiiiitle better than human garbage by adults who regret their life decisions and have no other outlet to take it out.
I have been burnt out for years and its bad again. I keep messing up basic shit about my life like my own grade. I am in class B not class C yet i argued to a teacher that i am in C. I keep forgetting things that people tell me minutes before I move somewhere. I physically cannot focus no matter how hard I try. I cant even talk about it to my teachers since they will just tell me I should rest then turn around to tell me I need to stop being lazy and push myself more. ALL my friends are either at home and sick or come to school while sick. (Hell I dont know how I am not sick yet with my immune system being weaker than a tomato.)
They don't care about us they care about their pay checks. I feel like crying.

exhaustion
im sorry for throwing this here in the first place. I generally don't post vents on tumblr dot com, but I've been under so much stress lately and I just. don't have anywhere I can dump things yknow?? i don't wanna feel like a burden to my friends or as if its their responsibility.
but I've been so, so exhausted lately. but it's so hard to just *stop* or *take a break*.
currently, im working 3 part-time jobs, participating in 4 uni projects, writing my thesis, finishing up my government-funded research, completing translations, on top of having my regular classes. not to mention more work and projects ive been "invited" to accept that are still starting up and my upcoming mandatory internship. my parents have been entrusting me with more and more responsibilities regarding their physical health as seniors. but i also need to keep an eye out so that my drug addict sister doesn't do anything stupid and gets thrown out of the house again. I'm also worried about another sister of mine.
Lately i tried to distract myself by involving myself more with my friends. I've helped a few friends out with their own stuff (moving, writing, job interviews, emotional support) and ive been reconnecting with long past friendships, which is pretty neat. and it was working for a while, but im starting to get drained from even the simplest interactions.
now every time I look at my phone or get out of my room, people are calling me to ask to do stuff for them. I'm so numb to it all, I just do it automatically even when my body is sore and my brain is dead.
the worst part is that I can't quit anything. there are no vacations waiting for me, and no way I can lessen my workload more than I already have. I'm numb to it all, it's exhausting, but I feel so ashamed for even feeling tired. I feel like I have no right to feel that. I'm so used to being "reliable" and "efficient" to others that I'm not sure if I know how to Not be what people expect of me.
Ive been trying not to smoke or stress-eat and instead just hit the gym to get rid of the stress and anxiety, but even that hasn't been enough.
I want to write. I want to draw. I wanna learn languages. I wanna study. I wanna chat. But I just don't have the energy to do the things that make me feel happy and healthy. even if I'm ironically already doing some of them. I feel like an ungrateful brat. especially since I'm surrounded by so many awesome people.
I'm really lucky to have you all. I love getting your messages, seeing your posts, writing with you. I'm so happy with how I've been developing bonds with people here. thank you so much for investing in me! i really do cherish and appreciate it. I just want to apologise for seeming so distant and emotionally unavailable, not to mention how long i take to reply sometimes. to those that have been nothing but kind and patient to me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope I can make it up to you!
I'm just really, really tired at the moment, and I'm not sure how to juggle through everything in my life right now. so I'm really sorry.
I wish I had dottore's skills so I could make clones of myself ngl. that'd be pretty neat

just applied for the job i had during college and honestly it feels bad man
everyone I know is actually accomplishing things with their life, buying property, getting promotions, getting their masters etc
fuck, even my cousin who is several years younger than me and has very little to no college (aka doesn’t have student loan debt) just got a management position at a fortune 100 company and is now making more than 60k
And where am I now?
Couldn’t do my job at the big company I was supposed to work at, where I had insurance and got paid enough to actually pay for things
all I do now is feeding horses and basically just putting them in different places 4 hours a day 6 days a week for less than what I made ever since I started working and living off that and what’s left of what I had accumulated in my 401k at my old job (that im gonna have to pay thousands of taxes on for taking it out too early im sure) and therefore fucking myself over for the future- everyone always says start young well I did and I’m too fucking useless to function without wanting to remove my skin apparently so I fucked that up
And yeah it was just an online application so I don’t know how likely it is they’ll even respond and hire me again but I feel like I am going backwards
I did what everybody always insisted I had to do
i went to college
i got a “real” (office) job
i got more than 25k student loan debt I have not been able to make even a dent in
and what do i have to show for it? even worse mental illness? A piece of paper that said i went to college? Crippling fear of answering a phone? an extreme hate for the way I look now?
and now im (at least attempting) to go back to where I was before all that bc that’s the only place i can think of will hire me, to a job I did not enjoy whatsoever, where I am going to have to explain to the high schoolers that would be working closing shift that I will have to do after the morning job like yeah i left here 3 years ago for a competitive job that paid twice as much at one of the (apparently voted) best employers in the city that everyone wants to work for but I threw it all away bc im a useless fucking idiot and now I’m back here working fast food watching all these people who will go to school and get the jobs they want and not fuck it up and actually be successful and move on with their lives
it just,,, it doesn’t feel good
i feel like I’ll never get anywhere so what’s even the point

(hella you dont have to answer this, just wanted to say it) i know you ofc know that grief is a really complicated n fickle feeling but. it is, so i hope u can give yourself that space to grieve and do whatever it takes...but also please take care of yourself. and we're both creators of stuff so i really get the feeling, but i promise youre not destined for getting worse or stuck in that. something similar happened to me my senior year and even if you didn't know him that well, you're allowed that space to feel too.
ik my words prob dont do much, and i dont pretend to know better than you about your hometown or life or anything like that, but im here if u wanna talk. i love u <3
thank you for this my love. this is so kind and you didnt need to say anything but you DID and im so grateful for that. i promise im okay and im very good at being able to tell what episodes are temporary and what are more serious, so i know this one is temporary and is more shock/natural sadness at hearing the news that will peter off over time, so im trying to just. let myself feel it all for now and then put it to rest after a couple days. im sorry you can relate at all, i feel like it's such a specific, strange kind of grief to explain, when it's someone you know very distantly and technically have no 'right' to grieve, because like you said, grief is complicated, and it doesn't care what right you have to it or not. which is something im having to remind myself of and tell myself im not being selfish or self-centred for feeling upset by this. ive reached out to one of my irls and im going to tell her tomorrow bc i trust her to be good about this, so as basic as that sounds that's a pretty huge thing for me and im hoping it'll help even if it is just. talking it out. idk. but i appreciate this and i appreciate you, ily bestie xx

So there's this guy at my job who I have a secret crush on, and then this new girl told me she thinks he's pretty (I agreed with her) and then today she asked me if he had Instagram. And tell me why in the fuck did I fell jealous?????? I barely even talk to him????? I like this girl, she's super cool and we're basically friends even though we met just a few days ago, she's awesome, but I could feel a veeeery ugly feeling bubbling up inside me when she asked me. I KNOW HER BETTER THAN I KNOW HIM (which isn't a lot honestly, but anyways, I literally can count on my finger the times I talked to him) and I got so ridiculously bothered by this (even though I stalked him myself when I met him)????? Like what the fuck?

raaaagh. too-ambiguous-to-name-specifically-but-certainly-negative feeling i hate you i hate you i hate you. why do i feel dread and despair, i literally just got home. nothing bad is going to happen. i am going to change into comfy clothes and write about fun little guys while i drink soda. this is peaceful and desirable and things i enjoy doing. i am alive and loved and that’s not changing within the next hour at least. why do i feel otherwise. im shaking my brain violently like batman with a petty thief.
