Oh no. It's the dreaded group project.

Viewed as a ~harmless~ assignment by professors, but to nerds, group projects are their worst enemy.

2. You are the only one who cares about the assignment in the group chat, or in life in general.

3. You will constantly try to turn your group members incorrect work into correct work on the Google Doc. in the most ~subtle~ of ways.
