It's Not MY Job To Make Sure YOU Pass Your Classes

Sorry, I have my own grades to worry about.

In This Article:

I've always been the student that finishes assignments a little quicker than others. It's not that anyone is dumber than me, but it's just that our brains work differently. There's no problem with that. However, there is a problem when another student in a lab group complains that I'm getting too ahead in the lab report while everyone else is joking around.

It is not my job to slow down for everyone else because they don't want to pay attention to the assignment that we are currently doing. If I'm focused on the work and you need help, then I have no problem helping you, but I'm not going to sit and wait for you to finish having fun to finish my assignment.

WE ARE ADULTS. If you can't time-manage and utilize your peers to help you on their time instead of your own, then you need to grow up. It is truly not my job to dumb myself down for you.

Also, college is literally the worst place to get caught cheating, so NO, I will not let you copy my work. You think I'm going to ruin my future so that you can succeed in this class? Heck no.

I have no problem with helping another student in need, but at this age, I would never even consider letting anyone cheat/copy me. So what if that makes me a know-it-all or teacher's pet or anything of that nature?

I'm not against helping or sharing notes at all. I understand that sometimes a professor just doesn't explain something well enough for all the students. But at the end of the day, we both have the exact same resources, and I will never take pressure or responsibility for anyone's grades but my own.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
