Why Group Projects Should Die In College

Remind me again why I hate group projects? Maybe it’s because I’m currently sitting in my living room bawling my eyes out because I can’t handle my life. 

Group projects are a bitch, we all know it. In college, you may or may not have to do as many group projects as you did in high school. Apparently I luckily picked the major that always has group projects. Ever since I started my actual classes last semester, we’ve had a group project in each of our classes. I thought last semester was bad, however, this semester is a lot more detailed in our projects, and it’s kind of hell. We have an entire class dedicated to research and a 20 page paper to go with it. I didn’t think it would be that bad because it’s broken up into parts. Boy was I wrong. 

Everything started out fine. I actually switched groups because I thought it would be better to actually be in a group with someone that I knew instead of strangers (because that went REALLY well the last time-see "Why I Hate Group Projects") and figured it would go a lot smoother. Group projects ruin friendships, though. I’m in a group in one of my classes with 5 people in each, and one of the girls is the same in two of my groups. It’s kind of enjoyable, but it would have been nice had I known about this project being due tomorrow morning not at 11 PM the night before

I went to set an alarm on my phone and got a bitchy ass text about something that was “oh yeah, you’re supposed to have this done, oh and did you forget about this too?” Lol. I actually remembered the second thing that she was really bitchy about, but I didn’t know that our revisions on our paper were due at the same time. Nobody told me this today. I talked to TWO of my group members for my research today, and neither of them said a thing. I get at text from the person i’m most friends with in the group saying that she’s sorry, but she didn’t realize she had two different conversations. 

One with me in it and one to talk shit on me in it.

Basically, life is just a bundle of greatness right now, and I can’t handle it. I’m being bitched at over a GoogleDoc Chat over something that I cannot handle. Yeah, it’s partially lack of organization on my part, but at the same time it would’ve been nice to have a friendly reminder just like all the rest of them. I took my advice from my teacher and started doing what she had told me, and I got criticized for it by this girl saying that it wasn’t what I was supposed to do, and I’ve already done enough irrelevant stuff.  It’s a great feeling, let me tell you. FUCKING GREAT. 

I shouldn’t be sitting in my living room bawling over something that I cannot handle. Something that I would’ve gotten done had I got the chance to. Instead, I start adding to the research at 11 PM, having a panic attack over it, only to get told that what I’ve done was “irrelevant” and I don’t need to do anything else. I even politely offered to print it out so they didn’t have to wait up for me.  Instead, the same girl that criticized me right after this happened, told me that she needed to proof read it beforehand to make sure I didn’t make any mistakes before it gets printed out. 


lol. Bye at my life. I can’t miss anymore classes (well I can, but i’m not taking any chances anymore) and I have to go to that class tomorrow. lol at me crying in class because i thought I was actually making friends, instead they have their own group chat to talk shit on me. Apparently I'm that shitty of a person, and I can never have friends.
