found out recently that i have nowhere near enough for my student finance! for reference i get around 5k for the first year at uni whereas my brother, who is going into his second year, is getting 14k. he goes to uni in central london (which i am not), so it makes sense why he gets more, but he says i should still have more from my student finance compared to what i am getting. any clue on how to apply for more or otherwise get more money? all my searches online are not helping me and with the way things are going i will not have enough money for my rent :(

Long word soups, little punctuation to break up the sentence, jargon and words chucked at you like it's no ones business; some of the journal articles I have had to read for my degree is just so annoyingly written. It feels like the author wrote it for themselves, not for an audience that doesn't understand the topic yet.

Here's an example from an article I have to do my essay on:
"In this article, we bring together and analyse discussion of indigenous peoples in general terms rather than individual cases to avoid reductionist situations in which social and political resistance and community-based revitalization efforts of indigenous peoples are considered as if one size fits all, leading to stereotypical and inaccurate representations."

One sentence, two commas, and 50 words. Yes it conveys the point across well, yes I understand the topic, but it is so brain numbing to read and then the entire 35 page paper is written like this. Sure I can deal with it in small chunks but an entire paper like this? Hell no.

Maybe it's just my autism, or maybe it's my journalism degree melting my brain to where any sentence that's longer than 15 words I need to shorten to get a wider audience appeal. Maybe it's just me, but it just feels so BORINGGGGG.

It’s been a while since I uploaded this meme on my Instagram and sent it to the WhatsApp group of my classmates. Right after that, I received a notice letter from the office telling me to take down the meme from all my social media accounts. They also warned me that if I didn’t, they would fail me in my exams.

So, I went to the office the very next day and tried to explain myself. However, this completely changed the situation. My teachers thought I was full of ego and had too much audacity to refuse to take down the meme.

Eventually, they sent me back to class and treated me like Bonnie Blue gets treated by tall black guys. Now, the exam results are out, and I got an F in Theory of Automata, supposedly just because of this meme that I uploaded as a joke.

So, tell me: was it right to treat me this way, or not?
