soc_puppetThe metaphorical devil on my shoulder: "You know, you don't have to do that final paper for Intro to Human Services. You've got enough extra credit to cover 30% of it, and that'll probably be enough to keep your grade in the low 'A's. And even if it's not, would a 'B' really be so bad?"
Me: "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, I did not go through two semesters doing every piece of homework assigned to fail at the final stretch, I am doing this shit, even if I only manage the bare minimum!"
Metaphorical devil on my shoulder: "Okay, jeez, lighten up! It was just a suggestion!"
Me: *already ignoring the devil and refocusing on the paper*
I refuse to let this paper win 😤
Edit: Paper completed and submitted! With this, I have officially done all graded homework for my back-to-school career. I am very proud of myself.

DON'T Play with Internet Safety
Dec. 9th, 2025 07:52 pmsoc_puppetSocial Problems final was today, and this was my project: A short, chutes-and-ladders-style game about information security online.
( Game board under here )
Only one final paper left, and it's not due until early Friday afternoon. I think I'll probably try and get it written tomorrow, when I'm not working on laundry 😂
