Yes! I Totally Agree. I Dropped My Ap Psychology Class Because My Course Load Was Too Much, I Copied

yes! i totally agree. i dropped my ap psychology class because my course load was too much, i copied my friends apush homework because i forgot about it. i absolutely hate algebra class. the studyblr community is not full of perfect human beings, we all struggle and have normal student occurences.

As a studyblr community can we stop pretending that we never

procrastinate

turn things in late

copy homework

cheat

get stressed

memorize information simply to pass a test

hate a subject/topic

dislike school

don’t do homework if we know it won’t be checked

don’t read the textbook

skip on making notes

don’t pay attention in class

get bad grades

skip schoolwork to hangout with friends

put school second

find ways around doing the homework

look for answers online         

because you know what? we do. we’re not perfect, we mess up, we make mistakes. but that doesn’t make us any less of a person. you’re allowed to be imperfect.

me fall semester: wakes up at precisely 6am each morning, uses a planner, color codes notes, interacts with peers, has an overall positive outlook for the future

me spring semester: lying face down on the floor surrounded by overdue assignments, fiber one brownie crumbs stuck to my face, not sure if it's wednesday or sunday, waiting for the sweet release of death

Transgender people are not burdens. They’re people. If someone is willing to put they’re life on the line for their country, they should be able to do so. No matter what. I stand with you.

just a friendly reminder that it is summer and there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing fuck all so you’re recharged and chill when school rolls around shatter the false studyblr illusion that you must be productive 24/7, 365 days a year. ENJOY YOUR SUMMER!!
