    This one hits weirdly hard for me because I had to pay my own way through college with multiple minimum wage jobs at the same time. you-are-a-serf

      Lemme guess - you had at least one professor who lectured you about not being sufficiently committed to their class because you looked tired one day.

        A few, yes. But I had some very understanding ones as well.

        One of the worst required me to sneak out of her class (one of those petty professors that actually did have a strict attendance policy) just so I had time to complete an essay project at the last minute that I simply didn’t have time to do in the weeks before that because of the jobs I was cramming in at the same time.
