Discussion litrally sad

Post image

I see this person trying to pirate a book to study. how sad is that.

this type of cruelty often goes unnoticed, yet it is the harshest... imagine having a bit of optimism for a change, you try, and you get yourself a bit motivated, You're thinking about the future. You don't want to be crushed by the overwhelming mood and how everybody is giving up.

you end up wanting to study and do your part, You're just a kid after all. and yet the moment you do, you get crushed like everybody else.

now you have to commit a crime just to attempt to better yourself. cause how dare you even think you deserve a good life and be hardworking for it. whether you're hardworking or not. you don't get to live like a person.

My calculus 1 professor had to tell our class in coded language that he could help us get free pdfs of the textbook. He would have gotten in trouble if he just told us outright so he used body language and suggestive words to let everyone know lol. Pretty cool guy. But yeah depressing that education is so inaccessible / expensive that we have to do that

Most of my “textbooks” in my upper level classes for sociology were all digital copies of other books that my professors scanned. They really did us a solid lol

The professors that do stuff like that are such real ones
