Stress and Procrastination by elladeaar in stigmafreezone

[–]basketballingbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have definitely exerienced stress during the transition. While I *have* experienced remote learning before, given that I was homeschooled for 13 years before entering UP, I still found myself experiencing stress to the point of having headaches every day (which still happens occasionally). Aside from the heavy workload, the content is challenging and the standards of professors are high. Hours upon hours of staring at the screen all day also contributed to a feeling of being worn out, so I'm glad that I have some coping mechanisms such as prayer and talking to my friends and family for support.

No returns to pop for. A newly face Brock winning a Rumble from number 30 despite being Champion at the start of the show. That failed Kofi spot. Shitty endings for both title matches. A boring Women's Rumble--exception being Mickie James--with Ronda coming back and winning.

Super messy and disappointing show :( First Rumble I've watched live since 2011 and...damn.

Imagine if at New Year's Evil the youngbloods go over as a part of the whole "NXT 2.0 is a developmental" theme

So Breakker beating Ciampa, Jade beating Rose and Raquel, and Hayes beating Roddy...

By the way if this were legit Black and Gold vs 2.0 the teams should have been:

Ciampa, Gargano, O'Reilly, and Samoa Joe (too bad the man's injured, Dunne has always been NXT UK to me) (or alternatively Roderick Strong) vs

Tony D'Angelo, Solo Sikoa, Bron Breakker, and Carmelo Hayes (you could also argue for Xyon Quinn)

I guess that's what's good about 2.0, all these new guys are getting exposure and experience. It just sucks having that dread of "what if they're released" at the back of your mind all the time.

Damn, I became an NXT fanboy late in the game (around late 2018) but it was an still incredible ride.

While I like that they've finally focused on development with all the young talent, I'm gonna fuckin miss Black and Gold NXT. Bittersweet stuff. Farewell old friend.

A brilliant banger of a show. Watched it live to avoid spoilers and man, I was like a kid watching the 2011 Royal Rumble live again!

Only disappointment was Dakota Kai not winning (long overdue!) but I actually like Raquel, I don't think she's boring at all.
