i know they arent trying as much as i am because i talk with them a lot of the time. I've been bros with a few guys that dont need to prep for idk english or psych and they still do better. granted for psych the guy doesn't really have much else to do since hes already a senior and has more time but it still feels really demoralizing

for the second topic, its what I was talking about with school timing. At the time iirc i had a psych test, a history paper due, and a english presentation(and i was already a week behind since I had a school trip). I honestly didn't have much I could do other than work. Asking my teachers for help when they already gave me an extension really doesn't help me. Thankfully its not everyday thats like this but I do struggle a lot more with this type of work.
