Student life

Today, my roommate remembered that we have an essay due Monday, so he wrote the full essay, while stoned, in less than an hour, without using his textbook. It was better than the one I spent all week writing. He is now upstairs having sex, and I've lost all motivation. FML

Some people are just naturally better at writing than others. Don't beat yourself up about it OP.

Don't give up! Education can be stressful, but you aren't doing any good by comparing yourself to others. His paper may read better, but yours could contain the information your professor is after.

You sat there stressing yourself out and now your comparing yourself to ur roomie because he lives a carefree life and did better then you? I'm not giving you the fyl because you deserved it for not looking deep within yourself to find your motivation. It would have been more pathetic had he been having sex with ur girl. MAN UP!

If you got that from a self-help booklet, I'd suggest getting a refund.

Most likely he will suck in the real world where life isn't an essay and girls aren't so easy

Hahaha sounds like high school for me. I use to skip class to get high and a get a good buzz and still do better the other students going to class struggling to barley pass because I would always ace the tests and do a few extra credit assignments

When it comes to writing for school, 90% of the job is just writing something, anything regardless of quality, and the other 10% is proofreading later. Your professor isn't looking for some profound and elegant treatise, he/she just wants to check a series of boxes on the rubric and to go home. So if anyone is looking for advice, here is what your roommate did: wrote a bunch of bullshit, checked it for grammar and spelling errors, inserted all the require talking points somewhere among the bullshit, and checked it for grammar and spelling errors again. That's it. It took me a decade to figure that shit out, but the most important thing to remember is: no one cares, and don't overthink it. And it's not a stretch to imagine smoking pot helped him write a bunch of bullshit real quick, it's part of overcoming inhibitions. If you don't like smoke, perhaps a drink or two? Avoid stimulants or anything that helps you pay attention when shoveling shit at the wall, shovel first, figure out what sticks later.

You may not be the smartest, but you can damn sure work the hardest to get where you want to be.

Sounds like you need to just chill out, OP. You can't compare yourself to other people, or you will never focus on bettering yourself. Keep your nose to the grind, and don't care what others can do or what you can't do. Nothing ever gets accomplished by worrying about it. You'll be fine, OP, college is hard and you learn a lot about life while you're there, aside from all the book knowledge. Hope you find yourself soon, buddy.
