Just an opinion. Although our school is famous for being a powerhouse for really smart and talented kids, I feel like it relies on the raw talent of the student rather than genuinely nurturing them or at least it's very selective with those it wants to nurture (which are usually the already exceptional kids). Which in turn is what makes it famous and gives it its reputation, and gets parents to enroll their talented kids in. It's not apparent bc well, sometimes, the only thing we qanna do is get the tf outta here lmao.
Rarely does it have qualified teachers that specialise in that particular subject, they just get who they can and teach to get it over with, training for comps are rarely formal, we have to sustain and improve ourselves on our own for said comps, then they get to claim all the credit "school that houses great future writers" or some shit. And then they give us the obviojs excuse of letting us be "independent" bc it "prepares us for college", how about let's do simulations first before the actual thing.
I also got one failed grade and one low grade bc of minor subjects. Now they're going to ruin my average. How am I supposed to compete to bigger, smarter students.
It's so tiring, I'm wasting so much time, I'm slowly burning out.
Our school can go burn down, with all my horrid classmates in it. Whatever prowess and prestige it had when I first enrolled here is nothing but rubble now that I'm almost leaving. Now go and watch them improve this trainwreck of a place after we leave :)

FFXIV Write
I plan to do these prompts. I'm going to do the write this year.
But please understand I'm going to do it in my own time. My life currently has been nothing but pain and doctors appointments.
When I feel well enough I'm going to put my whole heart into this challenge.
This is going to be the year I don't let this one slip by.
I just have to be more physically well first.

Also knee still hurts, but I'm returning to work in less than a week because I cannot stay off for a year. Will likely fall there, which will hopefully bring my referral forward. I do think this is a case of when I will fall again and not if. Tbh I just hope it happens somewhere safe with not many people around so I can go to the hospital and my referral can hopefully get sped up

wait what happened to fifty fifty!!!???!!
Hi this is a month late it got lost in my drafts whoops and then recent developments reminded me of it
pls note that I don’t know everything and it’s possible I misremembered a few details
short answer: effectively disbanded and derided in the media. I really wish them all the best :( they’ve said they want to keep making music together but it is not looking good rn
long answer: abused by their company, painted in a bad light when they tried to break contract (press and CEO of Attrakt made them out to be greedy— tbh I don’t even care if they only wanted more money, but like obviously that wasn’t the singular issue here), ceo has also said that he wants to keep the fifty fifty name and just replace them with four new girls… come on man.
also because of this contract lawsuit stuff they lost out on Barbie promos/music video and I believe that’s also why their kcon appearance was cancelled.
also also one of the girls’ personal info was revealed without her permission— i think she was taking a health hiatus and the company made this known without getting her permission.
and the company has said they’re planning on debuting a new gg soon. if these trainees were treated anything like how fifty fifty says they were I hope they get out of there asap
fifty fifty just released another statement, here’s a summary and translation. their time at Attrakt was awful and this kind of stuff absolutely should not happen, it’s baffling to me that public opinion isn’t fully supporting them but instead sympathetic to the company
