kids these days being like “i need chat gpt to write an essay that would normally take 12 hours in 2” but back in my day i did that all the time by using a little technique called “writing some absolute bullshit.” and yet i still walked away with a better essay and more critical thinking skills than i would get if i used chatgpt. return to tradition: write a bad essay that you started on the day it was due, but write it yourself

You don't have to force yourself to bounce back so quickly. I read something recently that said "when you come in from a rainstorm, you don't expect yourself to be dry and warm right away", and it really resonated with me. It's okay to take time to dry off and warm up. Take the time you need to process what happened to you.

What I love about the infamous puppy debacle of 94 is the implication that within five years of immediately partnering up, living together and starting the agency Charles (bc ofc it was Charles) was like 'we should start a family'
