I’m in a university that’s in the middle of nowhere and it’s known to be easier than most, but the workload is still so insane that I’m getting very close to suicidal. Teachers who made it don’t care about the workload they’re putting out is too much for just even one lecture.
They work at their pace and expect you to keep up. But don’t account for mental illnesses or just basic fatigue. Most students just shut up and like any capitalist, fall into the hustler mindset and grind away saying this is how it is. Of course people like me who can’t survive in a place like that seeking answers here is dangerous too but people like to say what they want and fee like they contribute to something.
But when it gets to something like 9 pages of math per hour for someone with ADHD or worse, we know how much time it will take from us because we’re slow but the school doesn’t slow down for us. And losing that much time creates so much intimidation to the point of wanting to quit. And then feeling pathetic isn’t helpful either because our efforts and intellect or lack there of is labelled with a fucking letter or percentage.
There’s a reason why student suicides exist, but everyone ignores it. My doctor is suspecting that my diagnosis will be clinical insanity, and you know what my parents said? No you’re just eating junk food.
It’s a screwed up system which makes me wonder if it’s better to just quit and not be a part of it and adapt the minimalist lifestyle
