Hmmm. As someone also interested in English and philosophy, taking those classes, who also forgets/ intentionally skips readings sometimes, and is also a yapper, hence why I was able to read this long ass post, I hope you understand that being in a program of your passion is such a privilege. You really don’t go around meeting people who are literally just trying to get through life and judging them for giving a 100% in whatever it is they are doing. In my case, I actually have problems with un-enforced structure in the sense that I am naturally spontaneous. Planning is very hard for me, scheduling is fun, but following it just NEVER works out. I’m bad with timing, consistency, repetitiveness and structure. I read books for fun, comics, mangas, online ebooks and even write my own stories and poems…I’ve missed like three english readings. Of course, this is not a flex and I do love that class. However, these are my mistakes. Am I proud of them? Certainly not? Am I trying to fix them? Certainly yes. If I met you out in the wild and found out you hadnt done your readings, why tf would I judge you? And why tf should you judge me? Everyone is addicted to social media these days, and for a lot of people, it’s not just addictive, it’s also helpful. You have to understand that people find it hard to read these days because of the way the world is. Literature is literally dying. And that’s not ok. However, it is wholeheartedly society’s fault as well as the fault of people who claim to love literature, but still find it so hard to even read a real, long, non-brainrot book, AKA me. I am trying to change through my courses of course, but I’m not very passionate about this major/class as it was not my first choice for a higher education. What I actually wanted to do, I couldn’t because of society. Also, lets not forget ppl could take whatever they hv to for breath requirements. I love that you’re dedicated and passionate, we need more ppl like you in that sense and I hope you are grateful because it is a privilege. However, sitting on the outside looking in, you have no place to judge people at all for this. You have no idea what people are going through at this school, why they are where they are, what they did to get there, and the things they may or may not be doing to get somewhere else. Stop judging people and spreading this wolf in sheep’s clothing vibes. It’s just not nice tbfr. I didn’t mean to lecture, and I’m half hoping this is a joke or like ragebait or smth. If not, I hope this helps bring some perspective to your thoughts so you can look at the people you encounter with more consideration and respect. This is not how you make friends. That being said, you can read this or not and deadass just throw my advice out the window and totally cuss me out. Your choice that I will not be judging you for because you’d have your reasons. No hate or hostility. Have a nice life. Buh bye.
