am i allowed to butt into the conversation to get a vent off my chest

Always.

Oof thank you so much. This'll probably seem like petty or whatever but there you go
Well right now I'm feeling bad. I don't how how else to say, I'm just feeling bad. Right now is a really stressful time in school; I had my practice orals yesterday for my finals at the end of the year. I was the last slot of the day so the teachers were tired and dismissive and I legit didn't get any comments at all that could help me work on it.
So that was yesterday. This is my first year in a grade where there are heavier consequences for the grades you get so the work just keeps on coming and I'm so bad at organising my time so it's,,piling up and it's a lot. I've got this project due tomorrow that I've got to write everything for because the other people in my group have a lot work from an extra class that I don't take, so that's fair but it's like a huge project and it'll be really long and tiring to due and I've got to cram it all in tonight.
So school is intense. The thing is though, I get above average grades most of the time, and my friends don't, and they don't understand that like I've got ridiculously high expectations and said grades are never fully good in my opinion. Since they think I've got no stressful situations going on they dump all their problems onto me and I love them all to death and I want to help them so bad, but I can't manage to atm because I can't deal with my own stuff while helping them with their own.
The only thing that helps me deal with stuff I haven't been able to attend for the past 3 weeks and like, I'm really feeling it, and it's this saturday, but I've got to get through my volunteering, dance classes, two tests, my friends' orals, the project I mentioned and I don't know if I'll make it to then without breaking :)

Shoot that was long sorry

I'm sorry. That didn't sound petty and I understand. I wish I could help you. I know that's very stressful.

Thank you

An important thing to remember is that grades aren't nearly as important as you think they are. Yes, they are important, but they won't stop you from getting into college (not yet anyway). Should you bomb the project? No, probably not. But I think the rest of your group will understand if it's not exactly the best you've ever done. It is still better than they could do (probably), and they'll understand that you're also stressed.
I also find that listening to music helps concentration and productivity. Like, if you just look up "study music" or "concentration music"
You can do it buddy. Also, chances are, next year, you won't even remember this. Idk, sometimes that makes me feel better when I'm really stressed.

That actually helps a lot, thank you

me too

I won't be able to help a ton, but I'm always here for a last resort.

I'm here for moral support. Except for the few hours I'm asleep. But you know, I'm here most of the time. You can do it, bud!

I'll be here for moral support too!

As will I!

Glad to have you back Shuri!

We need a moral support team to share a chat and just share positivity…

I'd help but I feel like it sounds like awkward cheerleading.
But you guys totally got this! Take that school and knock it out with your fabulous creativity! We believe in you!

hey we should make a discussion thread where it's not venting, it's venting about good things that happened to you so everyone can be happy w you!
who wants to do it?

We have one!
Ella made it!

^It's right here!

(Unrelated but I feel like, with the current rules, people tend to see it as way too restrictive of negative emotions, which is probably why it doesn't get much attention… I actually don't mind minor amounts of negativity making its way in as long as nothing seriously upsetting or dramatic takes place.)

I've been meaning to show it some love, Ella, but I'm spread so thin

Aww Shuri, we know you can't be everywhere, and you're already so amazing!

Thanks Starry! You too!

😊

Don't worry about it! Every piece of advice, every kind word, and everything you do for other people already takes so much time, thought, and effort in order to really help people, and sometimes I wonder how you're able to keep up with the chats you're already more active in. Don't stretch yourself thin just for a Notebook thread
