#and its like i dont need a fucking note taker i need my professors to stop making it mandatory to go to every single class bc i will

[clowngremlin]

oh god oh fuck how do i attempt to survive college? ik you're not like the king of college or anything but i need something to break me out of my dread

ok my advice is to be friendly to ur professors because if ur on good terms with them and u need something like an extension or something like that on an assignment, they will be more likely to do it!! another bit of advice is to find the accessibility services at ur school and see if u can get any accommodations if u need that type of thing! i got a note taker, extra time on exams, and help with math related things cause of my adhd and learning disability! i also suggest finding a quiet place at ur college to chill/go if u are feeling overwhelmed......at art school i would hide in the stair well very often!! also pack food/coffee/water because the food and drinks on campus are so expensive, at least they were where i went to school!! also dont take too many courses at once because u will burn urself out, its ok to take a lil bit longer to finish school than it is to try to finish it all very quickly and then burn urself out and never finish!!! also make sure u do ur readings and also get a special little planner to put all ur due dates/class schedules/room numbers/etc in!!! also, as for making friends, i always found that joining clubs at school helped!!! good luck, lennox, u will do great, i believe in u!!!! OH ALSO DONT TAKE 8 AM CLASSES IF U CAN HELP IT, THEY ARE THE WORST!!!

I feel like whining about how disability accommodation works at my school. I dont whine to anyone irl except other disabled ppl i know because i know they won’t tell on me and would really relate. 

So. The main things always suggested are “you can take twice as long to finish a test!!!” and “you can take a test in a quieter room” 

And these do a lot of help for people honestly. My complaint is that its limited and the limitations mean I’m not really being helped. I’m frustrated because at this point I know for most things, it’s better I don’t complain or ask for help, because there is literally no help for me. I think I whined on here about this before but my issues aren’t entirely with tests (and I have work, I cant take twice as long on a test?) It’s classroom environment and certain things professors do while running class that frustrate me, esp with sensory processing stuff. 

I’ve also had times where I just cannot focus enough to take notes in class, and sometimes theyre like “oh you can get a note taker in class :)” but the professors are never informed about how to do accommodations, so they turn it on me and make me do everything and force me to put myself out there and out myself basically. It’s so tiring that I don’t even fucking bother, like. whatever i’ll take the bad grade or cry or something whatever whatever whatever.

All of this feels like having a cut on your leg and sticking a bandaid on your forehead lol. 

But today I was pissed because i finally noticed a pattern!!!!

All the easy accommodations to get? They’re easy because they involve the disabled person just FUCKING OFF! Like “oh i’ll leave the room and do the test elsewhere!” and “I’ll take twice as long on the test and do it elsewhere” etc. Always “fuck off” and “elsewhere” but. I’ve only had 1 professor who actually tries to change the classroom setting so that its accessible to everyone. I’ve never asked for something that would be Bad for the whole class. Rather, changes this guy has made have benefited everyone, and that’s cool. He finds a way to make it work and I respect that a lot, but it requires that he as an individual give a lot of shits that most people don’t give. And its like the only time I’ve never thought “Oh I’d be better just fucking off and not bothering anyone, I’ll deal with it alone and not ask for help”

It’s like. there’s accommodations but only when you can fuck off and get the accommodation. If you have chronic pain and maybe the “miss class 4 times and you fail?” thing needs to be rethought? No!!! Fuck you!!! Chronic pain or sensory processing issues and you would like some class materials posted online (so you can sit there after class for hours and struggle with understanding it, because you have a disability in class?) Probably most definitely, a NO. Fuck you!! You ask for help ever in a way that inconveniences abled ppl slightly? No, fuck you. And some people i’ve known in k-12 esp, and a bit into college, will just mock you for it like “hehe sensitive snowflake”
