I have very clear memories of my High School English IV teacher going on long tangents about how hard college is and how none of us were prepared for it. She told us that we would have to write multiple reports on different topics per week and that we would have to read multiple full books every week. She told us that what she assigned us for our High School class was nothing compared to the insane workload of college. It's important to note that, at one point, my grade in this class was like 29%.
Then I went to the same college that she had gone to. Even in my freshman year, when I took more classes than I honestly needed to per semester, my workload across all classes together was probably equivalent to that single high school English class.
College classes tend to be spaced out (Monday-Wednesday-Friday, or Tuesday-Thursday, for example), and you generally only have like 3 a day unless you purposely overload your schedule. So I only had like 3 hours of classes each day, and I had the entire rest of my day for work, or for studying for the next day's classes, or to just hang out and do whatever. I actually had the highest grade in my freshman year English class in college. Everything was so unbelievably easy, especially compared with the English and Math classes I took in my senior year of High School. I double majored and graduated with like a 3.5 GPA. Only like 3 classes genuinely stressed me out.
Anyway, none of this matters, but what I'm getting at is this: if you're a teen and you have a teacher or other adult in your life that's really trying to drive home that you can't handle college, maybe take that with a grain of salt. I don't know if she was confusing her Master's level workload with the Bachelor's curriculum or what, but college really isn't as difficult as some teachers like to tell teens it will be.
#school#college#high school#academia#it also helps to read your class syllabus and never put in more than 75% effort unless absolutely necessary#that helps prevent burnout and leaves you with a comfortable margin in case something else major is going on at the same time#i genuinely did hate this teacher though#which is a shame because her husband taught science and was my favorite

sorry professor but your teaching style and my mental illnesses are a match made in hell
#this is about me bombing english last semester#ran out of meds at the same time as an extended period of miscommunication#where every assignment was graded zero with no reason given#turned out he thought i was too strong of a writer and must therefore be cheating with AI -_-#which like sure it's good to be skeptical#but you could have told me that up front#and not just left the vaguest possible notes to meet with you#if i didn't check the syllabus and figure out what it might be and write him a thousand word email where i quoted heidegger#then i would never have found out what was wrong#and went on believing my english professor just wanted Revenge on me for no reason#never was able to fully recover that semester even after it was cleared up#inshallah this fall will be better

why is it that in this university being a lit major feels like being 15 in a kindergarten sandbox
#“make sure your answers answer the question”#this is more patronizing than when people find out I'm autistic#and one time someone asked me if I “know what a lighthouse is” bc of the autism#this feels the same way#like. I chose this course because I already know 80% of romeo and juliet by heart#(and sure I have yet to read midsummer nights dream but I know at least a little about it)#I am not an idiot and the way this syllabus is written makes it sound like the prof expects only idiots in class#which is ironic considering the fact the syllabus has several inconsistencies#(“2 assignments worth 90% and 10% participation” but also “3 assignments worth 10-30-60%”)#but also the syllabus says I'm allowed to use generative AI in my answers as long as the AI is correct about it#like. legit. says directly in the syllabus#... well actually it says “you can use AI but dont be obvious about it”#which just reads like those anti-plagiarism “change every word into a synonym” hacks but worse#eugh#at least the syllabus also calls romeo and juliet a comedic tragedy. as they should#like fr yall. its so funny#also so romantic I legit cried#theres a reason its a classic and its not just “because someone said so”#((which. I did hear before. I have Opinions on classic literature))

my professor scanned a reading from the new edition of the norton anthology textbook (that's not available for those of us using older editions) and uploaded it to blackboard upside down. lol
#btw if you're ever asked to get a norton anthology for an english class. get an older edition#it's probably got the majority of the same readings and you can buy it for pennies secondhand#in some cases there are a few poems that my professor assigned that were taken out of the newer edition#specifically th'assyrians king in peace with foul desire by henry howard earl of surrey#the new authors theyve added (rightfully) in new editions are unfortunately less likely to be included in your course syllabus#odds are that even if the norton publishing company wants to be more inclusive. your undergrad professor doesnt#they just wanna teach the same course#plus i really like the 2012 edition of the sixteenth to the early seventeenth century norton anthology#i cant stress enough that even if norton is improving theyve always been good. like damn good#norton is not a publisher i have major problems with like penguin#norton is in it to be a real one. but u dont have to spend lots of money on them is what im saying#tales from diana

Looking at class syllabi so I can come up w an outline for my personal studies lol
#I did the same with bio I failed it 2 years in a row bc I never showed up so when I dropped out in grade 11 I wrote a textbook of the#syllabus. I passed with flying colours lol#sure I could take a real class but this is for fun lol#I don’t have an objective with note taking and stuff so I figure finding a class with a lecture plan I like is a good place to start

#had one of those days that was just fawking awful for no reason like just felt like garbage the entire day#looked at the syllabus and workload for the online class i start tuesday and#it is soooososososo much work. and i'm already kinda behind on work at my FULL TIME JOB so i'm like. there's no way in hell#i can get a decent grade in this class and keep my job at the same time while not wanting to die#it's an eight week class so there are like six assignments due per week and the due dates are on weekdays so it'll be so hard#to use my usual 'finish the assignment the day before it's due' strat#so i just told my parents i was like idk if i can do this y'all. and they were both okay w me potentially dropping it#so long as i take 16 week classes from here on out#so it's going to take me two extra years to graduate after it's already taken me four for a TWO YEARS ASSOCIATES DEGREE#that's on the physical and mental health issues.#but the good news is. if i do drop this class and have a break this semester then aslkfdlskdg#hyunjin birthday countdown: back on! winnable!#i'm working on the most complicated set of the countdown now hoping it doesn't make me too exhausted for the others asjflasjldg#still a bit less than halfway done#anyways. time to go to bed so i can wake up and try to function at work tomorrow#carly.txt

Working on a paper rn cause it’s due in,,, less than 8 hours and a couple hours ago I found out all but one source was unusable cause apparently there’s two?? separate things??? that have the same fucking name???
So that set me back a few hours as I’m relooking at sources but still optimistic 🙃 (devoting every cell in my body to wishing that class is canceled tomorrow to give me more time)
#no fandom#I don’t want to say what it is in case everyone else knew#and I’m just stupid#so I’m doing a paper on this disorder specifically caused by brain damage#but apparently this disorder that has the same symptoms is called the same exact thing but they just put ‘developmental’ in front of it#can occur#but it’s NOT caused by brain damage???#and apparently *that* version of the disorder is common#but I can’t switch over to it#because for this class the teacher has to approve your topic#and she only approved of the first one#and it says in the syllabus that if you do the paper on a topic she hasn’t approved of then she’s straight up not grading it#so now I’m back to trying to find sources for this disorder that apparently no one likes to write about#because it’s not as interesting as the other one or something
